Not exactly this week but I recently read a lot of Robber x Lover, a finished boy love manhwa. It's quite adorable much of the time, with a lot of comedy and consistent but expressively cartoonish art (great jaw drops!)
The initial "robber" premise becomes irrelevant in a few chapters, which is a good thing because it wasn't very good. The protagonists are 23 and 20 years old rather than children (minus a couple of flashbacks) and I enjoyed that they don't go through many of the stereotypical dynamics and tropes often found in BL manga. They're pretty innocent regardless, but they both feel like fully realized and unique characters in a balanced partnership in which both give and take. The difficulty of coming out in korea is a major theme.
This is not a pornographic or even erotic comic. There are only a couple of extremely vague references to NSFW things.
