At the Flower Capital by Rihito Takarai

Motoharu, second child and successor of the Tsujimura clinic, has always held his childhood friend, Akira Hazumi, close to his heart.
Unfortunately, when Motoharu realized his affections towards Akira were more than just simply friendship, and confessed, their relationship became strained. Unable to reciprocate Motoharu’s feelings, Akira turned him down, and they slowly grew apart from one another.
Despite the ongoing tension between them, Motoharu still decides to enroll in the same university and department as Akira. However, it’s not easy getting over the pain of being rejected, and Motoharu soon finds himself visiting Geishas in the middle of the night, in a desperate attempt to forget everything that happened.
All that changes, though, when one day, Akira suggests they walk home together, and for the first time in a long time, things feel as if they’ve gone back to how they used to be. “If it means I can stay by your side, even as a friend―” That’s what Motoharu thought anyways…

The Director Who Buys Me Dinner (2022)

 The Director Who Buys Me Dinner was quite nice; there is the male lead I prefer, an aloof but intensive Yu Dam. Dong Baek, on the contrary, has just the right level of dorkiness to make him cute, and a total sweet morsel for Yu Dam. The title suggests Yu Dam is buying dinner to Dong Baek, but in reality it's Dong Baek being the main course. Despite being very sexy in words and looks, Yu Dam and Dong Baek revert to an innocent level when alone, therefore there is basically no X-rated scenes, and this is a kudos to the screenwriter, since really, the feeling for this story is to be way sexier. There is one issue though, I totally disliked all the story around the idol's obsession with Yu Dam and Dong Baek; I know it was essential to the plot, but I didn't like how it was developed. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI. Heat Level: 4/6.

Senpai, This Can't Be Love! (2022)

I really liked Senpai, This Can't Be Love!, it was cute and just a little bit sexy. Yuki Kaneda is adorable in his secret crush of his senpai Yanase Jun, and Yanase will reveal to be so sweet and kind, totally open to acccept Yuki's feelings, but not in an arrogant way, not like it was expected or due, but more like Yuki is giving him something to cherish and nurter. This was definetely heartwarming and comforting. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 2/6.

Secret Crush on You (2022)

 Secret Crush on You was basically good, it was cute and sexy, and I liked the interactions between the main leads and the supporting cast, but the editing was really bad. Some scene ended without logic, making it difficult to understand what was happening, like when they arrive at the hotel, and Neua is pushing Toh to confess his crush, they changed topic without resolution, therefore you don't understand what happened. Anyway, this was one of the sexiest BL series I have seen, I like the character of Neua, he is totally honest in his interest for Toh, and it's not just a physical attraction, considering Toh is a nerdy and quite ordinary guy; the fact that Neua is so attracted to him, gave the idea Neua is able to see over the looks into Toh's essence. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 5/6.

Is This the Kind of Love I Want? by Kouki

Uta (who has newly come out as gay) and Ryo (seemingly straight) have been living together for a year and a half. At first, they had their fights. They also slept together. But these days, they're as tranquil as a middle-aged married couple. Only problem is... they haven't had sex or kissed in almost a year. With their lease renewal hanging over his head, Uta is wondering if it even makes sense for them to continue this way. Why would a gay man and a straight man who aren't dating or even sleeping together keep living like a couple?
