BL/GL comic recs

I wanted to make my own personal gay manga/manhwa rec list, so finally here it is (this list will be edited whenever ill find some other interesting story to add). It’s divided between Lgbt comics (manga/manhwa that focuse more on telling the stories of gay/trans characters than a romance), bl/yaoi (manga/manhwa that focus more on the love stories between men) and gl/yuri (manga/manhwa that focus more on the love stories between women). Plus a different section for western published webtoons/mangas.Every comic is gonna have title, author, genre and content warnings if needed, a 18+ for explicit nudity and sex scenes if needed, a possible personal comment/notes and a rating like x/10 (thats more a personal “how much i liked them” than an actual objective quality measurement)little disclaimer: im not up to date with all the ongoing comics i put in here, so if anything that would make these unsafe to read (romanticized incest and rape, child porn etc) happens in the last chapters and i didnt see it, it would be great if you guys would tell me so that i can remove the comic from the list

Snip, Snail & Dop Tail by Yamashita Tomoko: (slice of life)The story of how two people came to knew each other and get togetherRather than the story, the interesting thing about this is the way its narrated: its not presented in a fluid timeline but continuous time jumps back and forward.
