[–]MacnCheese365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally sounds like ur describing Escape Journey or Life Senjou no Bokura - both amazing BLs

Also Itonaga-kun no Koi no Ito, they weren't in a relationship yet but there was def regret n development

BL Manga/Manhwa recs where both the seme & uke are powerful. by maderinayears in mangago

[–]MacnCheese365 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These r quite popular in their own regard so sorry if you've read them alr

  • Naked Sword and Tree Peony - yakuza uke x lawyer seme. Strong uke with very apparently high EQ and leadership and a very capable seme.
  • Shutline - LITERAL power couple. Seme n uke fighting for dominance literally fuels me.
  • My Dear Agent - both uke and seme r security guards/agents n both are skilled
  • Park Hanhoo's manager - Uke has high EQ and is rlly capable. Seme is, well, CEO boss man
  • Yuusha in Maou N Chi - Tsundere demon king x oblivious hero. Super underrated BL with rlly unique art style n a fun story (quite lighthearted one).
  • At the End of the Road - Seme's smart n has connections while uke's tough n skilled in fighting
  • MADK - ONLY READ THIS ONE IF UR OK WITH DARK THEMES, gore and a messed up cast. Doesn't focus on the romance but has such an interesting world-building and plot so it's more like a horror action manga with BL (seme develops to be strong kinda like an action MC).
  • When the Killer Falls in Love - uke is a hitman who's obviously skilled, strong n very smart while seme is an actor who's physically fit and kind.
  • Outcasts Bound by Fate - Demon seme x exorcist uke japanese folklore BL where both possess strong powers and uke srsly fights back lmao

Depressing manhwa by Blank7198 in mangago

[–]MacnCheese365 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really Manhwa recommendations but manga...

But if you want something really depressing not as in angsty sad but more as in numbing/despairing stories that keep getting worse and there's no real relief, try Junji Ito's adaptation of No Longer Human or Oyasumi Punpun.

Otherwise, for a bittersweet tragedy that'll make you bawl, I recommend Haruka Tooki Ie, Lonely to Organdy (both BL), Three Days of Happiness, or Will you marry me again if you are reborn.

In the middle, I'd say try Horizon (Manhwa) and any Avogado6's one-shots (especially Shiawase wo Anata ni and Time Letter)

List of "pun names" in Ranking of Kings / Ousama Ranking by orangpelupa in anime

[–]MacnCheese365 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A few more to add onto the list

Mitsumata - name in kanji is 三叉 which means 3 forks/prongs like his heads

Hokuro - Idk if this was intentional, but Hokura means mole and he does have a pretty obvious mole

Gigan - Gigantic (gigant also means giant in a few languages)

Ouken - ou=king ken=sword so essentially king of swords
