Any media - manga, manhwa, anime, etc. (Any demog, I'm fine with shounen-ai too)
Just no full of sexily illustrated girls
Romance where we can see their feelings being developed or realised

🔹 Story and relationship will lead somewhere
🔹 Hopefully 'portrayed as ugly' or ave looking female lead (FL) bc I have insecurities aha~ ..no jk, but if it's that good then why not 😀
🔹 No meek FL 🙂* Well, no too submissive 'damsel in distress', etc. (but I'm ok with Last Game, KNT, Takano & Sugawara of Tsurezure Children)*

Didn't like: Toradora, Golden Times, Ao Haru Ride, Say I Love You
I like: Hirunaka no Ryuusei, King's Maker
If it's popularly recommended pre-2016 in MAL, I might know it alrdy. Thank you~

Busu ni Hanataba wo.
