I'm looking for the above mentioned content. The male should have a phobia and I'd prefer if it is about a past rape. It better not be a romance. If it's something like Gakuen Ouji with the psychological and slice of life with hardly any romance it'll be fine.
There's a lotta fan service there btw.
Anyway I'd like to read something similar to the above manga. There are other threads but don't suit my tastes. Inclusion of familial or friendly support to the MC is a bonus.
Friendship or platonic ships subtext is all the more better ~

Plz no loli, yaoi, shota or harem.
Shounen ai is good but I need a straight male friendship..here.
Thanks🙂

try sekine-kun no koi
edit- just re-read your post and realized you don't want romance but i still recommend the above series regardless, just be aware that there is romance in it

Banana Fish, definitely.
