Hi! I'm looking for yaoi or shounen-ai mangas that progress naturally with a good pace to their relationship. In particular, I'm looking for something similar to Slow Starter by Ichikawa Kei in terms of pacing and characterization.

Thank you 🙂

There are many great yaoi or s.ai manga with equally great plot. For yaoi I would recommend mangas by Yoneda Kou, amazing artwork and storyline. You could never go wrong with her work, for shounen ai my fav are mangas by Sugano Akira. If you looking for characters that grows and mature alongside their storyline than these 2 authors can give you that satisfaction. I had to go thru a cold turkey style withdrawal after I finish reading any books from these two, those times were tough..
