Recs if you like Midnight Secretary, Vol. 01 (Midnight Secretary, #1)...

List inspired by @Lady_of_the_Library's club post. Recommendations provided by the PB community! These stories are intended for adult readers (18+) and often feature realistic, mature romantic relationships, complex emotional situations, and sometimes explicit content.

Manga that were in Shoujo Beat Magazine supposedly (I'm doing this in alphabetical order in English)

relationship dynamics that i personally consider red flags: manipulation, possessiveness, controlling behavior, disrespect, boundary issues, jealousy, emotional abuse, blackmail, intimidation, bullying, coercion, poor communication, unhealthy power imbalances, obsession, dependency, toxic relationship dynamics, lack of consent

this is not a judgment of the manga itself. many are well-written, popular, or feature character growth 🙂‍↕️ i like few of these myself!!
