Super Natural

Submission by: Anon
Anon's comment:
A very lighthearted SoL BL revolving around college students in the beauty department. An interesting depiction of college group of friends and emphasis on the feeling of wanting to be there for the ones you love. It's a good thing that none of Etsuko's works are scanlated in EN but I really hope that Super Natural, which is licensed, gets more recognition.

Madoka's Secret

Submission by: Sareru
Sareru's comment:
Let's wave 2020 goodbye (it's about damn time) with an adorable work that plays with society's gender roles from a child's point of view! Madoka is a grade schooler who likes to wear the skirts and dresses his big sister designs (and he looks super adorable in them, too!). After his family moves, his goal is to become manly and cool after being bullied for being cute before, but he soon meets his neighbor Itsuki who he mistakes for a boy at first. Will Madoka accept himself? Will the others do so as well? Are they both super cute and tickling my maternal instincts?! By the time I chose this manga, I didn't even know that it'd get an English release, or that this English release would be completed by the time this recommendation goes live! Big thanks to BL Party! for letting me know about this 💕 (and of course to Manga Planet for publishing it 😘

Submission by: Anon
Anon's comment:
While this manga seems to be quite popular in the international fanbase, many people only read the scanlation and not keen into supporting it. It's true that it can't get licensed in EN because the publisher isn't open to the EN market, but the author has acknowledged the demand from the fans and made her 8th and 9th doujinshi available in English through dlsite. It's time for more people to know about this and give support to what the author has offered, and who knows if the publisher might change in the future? I've put up links to the English version of the doujinshis on the description section on mangaupdates.

Sareru's comment:
Starting off this countdown with a series full of action, excitement and one weird-ass family! Agent Twilight is on a mission in the enemy's country, and to complete it he has to find himself a child and a wife ASAP! He manages to find them, but little does he know, his new kid is a psychic who can read people's minds (and is a big Bond nerd) and his wife casually assasinates people for the government at night. A crazy good series that has its latest chapters available for free on Manga Plus!

Although I haven't fully read it yet, MDZS is THE danmei series to get into and can easily convert any friend into a shipper with the dramatic storylines and backstory set in ancient China in a Xanxia universe. Recommended since it's also one of the closest adaptations of the novel.

It's licensed by Tokyopop but they have yet to update their website. Anyways, this story is sweet with great cat art. You can see Hayane had a blast with the expressions on the cat characters, it really made me smile and especially when it comes to how the pair fall for each other.

Ever since he was a child, Tatsuro had been fascinated by his grandfather's tales of dragons which sustained even when he reached adulthood. Requested one day to hunt a wild beast roaming the mountains, instead of the beast, he finds a person named Talim, who turned out to be a dragon. Apparently, Talim has great curiosity about humans but his difficulty with maintaining his human form prevents him from interacting with them. Thus begins a friendship between human and dragon which may lead to something more.
