gay romance manga with no sex
Manga
Exactly what the title says. I love my spicy content, don't get me wrong, but this is for those who don't want it in both BL and GL. I hope you find these enjoyable!
I'll probably add more as I read so stay tuned! Feel free to give me recommendations ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡♡♡
