Im looking for a feel good/up beat shounen-ai (preferably- but a shoujo-ai would be alright too i suppose)
in which the the protagonist(s) start off in a 'normal' relationship but come to discover their feeling for each other and have to sort of 'come to terms' for lack of a better term, with their sexuality.
probably the best examples of what im looking for are:
harete bokutachi wa/dokidoki renai and seven days were both really good shounen-ai, harete/dokidoki being one of my favorite manga in general.
and girl friends was a pretty good shoujo-ai.
I've also read ashita no kimi wa koko ni inai,gokujou drops, and most of sasameki koto- and they were all ok
anybody got any good suggestions? i know theres a lot of stuff out there, but most of it can be hard to find when you're being this specific. plus hearing peoples opinions/suggestions is always more interesting than spending hours blindly scrolling through lists or basing it on the thumbnail...
also i just wanted to add that art is fairly important and it kinda needs to be copmpleted already- and i would STRONGLY prefer no oneshots, anthologies/story collections, tragedy, smut, and hardcore yaoi/yuri

Mizuiro cinema
Ebisu-san to Hotei-san it's a bit on the subtle side
Strawberry shake sweet "Don't cross the line so easily you little sluuut~!!!" 🤣
Poor poor lips if you're alright with 4-koma
Husky and Medley true stories are the best stories
Blue friend not tragedy but it is pretty angsty
Sisterism I avoided this one at first but it turned out to be REALLY funny
Edit: My bad, I was posting late at night and wasn't quite thinking straight (lol no pun intended) You probably don't want Blue Friend since it's so angsty. It's rare for a popular shoujo ai to take a serious look at one's sexuality, but Aoi Hana probably fits best. I can't provide you with any shounen ai suggestions since I'm unqualified in that genre. Whatever you do hope you find what it is you're looking for.
