Hey there ^^
I am looking for yaoi/shonen-ai where either one of the characters starts as straight, or just didn't realize till the moment he met the other one that he's gay... and is resisting/trying to resist the pull 😉 I want it to have a story... I mean smut+story is the best, but I'd rather read something with no smut and a story than the opposite...

It doesn't matter if it's a series or oneshot, but I prefer complete stuff.

Examples that come to my mind...

Mirai no Kioku
Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yume o Miru

another thing... I like it when they both look...um... manly 😉

Thank you for your time!

Hmmm I'm sorry if it's in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure whether it should go into Yaoi etc. or "I'm looking for..." since, well... I'm looking for something... thank you for the categories, I am not used to searching like that, so it didn't really occur to me that I can... Thank you!

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I'd recommend Hamu and the boy who cried wolf. The uke pretends to be straight, and the story is based on the mangaka's personal experience, so it's somewhat realistic.

As I said in a recent thread, whenever anyone asks for characters that start out straight I'm always tempted to answer "all of them". 🤣 I call this trope "I'm Straight Except for You". I only read stories in which they look like men, so these fill the second part of your request as well. Varying degrees of resistance, actually, can't remember. 🤣

Oh wow thank you so much for all the suggestions 🙂 I'm going to check them all out and let you know what I liked 😀

I really liked it. It was realistic and kind of sad - It's terrible how some people feel they have to pretend against their nature because of social norms...anyway, I'm glad it was a happy ending 🙂

God, I cannot believe I didn't thank you!!! (I really meant to, but I always do too many things at once and then this happens facepalm)
Thank you so much for these, amazing really 😀 I really liked most of them, and from those I even found some authors that have some really good other works too, so thank you very much for taking the time to write this down for me! 😃
