Rocks on Silent Lover
The first arc definitely have some manipulation aspects that may be trigger warning to some people. However, I like how there is character development on both the MC and the male lead. The MC grew strong and confident despite his initial weak appearance.
Spoiler!
As for the male lead, i love how he actually struggled to get the MC back and how he slowly understood why it is so hard to communicate as a mute when he was the MC bodyguard. He became a better person during that trip and I love that arc.

Pretty good on Thirst
When I came across this manga I was expecting the usual crappy cliches of most vampire BL but I was very pleasantly surprised to find a more nuanced story with two equally strong male leads!
The main characters are an energy vampire and a semi-newbie actor with a secret. I really like their dynamic - they are crazy about each other but it's not because of vampire hypnosis/thralldom, pheromones, a predator/prey thing or any other BS... They just really like/want each other, which I found really refreshing for BL! They have equal intrigue, both are strong characters (if anything, the vampire isn't quite as strong as the human, which I wasn't expecting), they are equally "active" in the story (I hate a passive character) and they even have similar body shapes. There are no stereotypical uke/seme tropes here and it's all the better for it!
The s** scenes are graphic but not excessive, and are surprisingly "normal" for BL (consensual, respectful, etc.). The colouring of certain body parts are a bit off at the beginning but this does improve as the story goes on.
There have been 2 seasons so far and season 3 is on the way... I can't wait to see what happens next!
Overall I would strongly recommend this manga. I am very harsh with my scoring and this is only about the 3rd manga I have ever given 4 stars to, so it's got to be good!

Rocks on Cloudburst
Do you remember your coming out? The Ivern remembers. Well, not yours, specifically. I don't care about you. In general, I mean. I remember mine: a dreadful, majestically terrifying experience. I remember the look in my mother's eyes, amids fear and confusion. But I also remember me, the me of back then, and the unimaginable avalanche of pain and relief that washed over me. The physical sensation of... weight, spiraling inside. An hurricane, as freeing as it was devastating.
As with MC's mother, even my mother came to understand her fears, dissolving them along with undefined regret. It's an universal experience among us, right? Its consequences too.
And that's why it's important to tell stories like this, like this manga does. Because being outed, coming out, it changes who you are. And it's not a simple change: it's a fundamental one. You are different, now. Words make it real.
Cloudburst is a slow burn. That much is clear. It's a character study about what being gay even is, and what it means. About what the violence of being outed does to people, and about a... Very peculiar man. ML is a strange... well, he is a strange. He is not the usual curt, tsundery guy we get, melting into sweet affection after the confession. ML is an a**, in every sense of the word. (Especially physical). I love him, and I won't say more.
Why say more when the writing is practically stellar? Give it the attention it deserves and you will discover a very intricate net of whispered innuendos and metaphors that fill their interactions, making it a real treat. The art too, starts incredible, but it degenerates from a great shader-intensive style to a more budget friendly, simple-contour centered one.
All in all, a great work. A full five stars. The indecisiveness and slow pacing are actually credible as part of an intended characterization effort. Also, FEET! (And shoes)
