BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai manga are fiction but some hit too close to home for how realistic the situation, environment, and/or characters they have. Because of this, they tend to be on the mature side and tackles the situations that people in same sex relationships experiences in real life.

The Souls of these who haven't found peace are under us...
From spooky horror to the beautiful romance story's, ghosts fascinate us in many ways. With this Stack i give you a very colorful Selection of Stories you can read.
~~~
Don't worry for spoilers, in all these manga it is stated that the characters are ghosts very early in the Story! I wont spook you with a terrible spoiler! Have fun reading person of the internet!

Is something missing? Is something wrong with an entry? You can contact me and tell me if there's anything wrong or missing! I´ll be happy for any help!

This is a list of quality BL works that avoid a lot of common unhealthy tropes in the genre.

Wholesome in this context does not necessarily mean fluffy stories devoid of drama (though there are some). A lot of these do have drama, but the point is that the relationships have a large focus on consent and are also healthy, positive influences for the characters.

All of these entries are complete and are personally recommended favorites (roughly arranged in order of enjoyment).

All works listed exhibit the following:
- Consensual, positive, non-toxic relationships
- Strong characterization and/or strong narratives
- Completed, shorter length series (most are 1-3 volumes, upper limit is 5)
- Quality art (bonus points for unique and non-stereotypical art styles)
- Manga works only

Other common preferences, but not in every work:
- Relationship equality and/or reversal of expected dynamics
- Non-mundane settings and premises (speculative/supernatural/fantasy/sci-fi elements)

Comments for each entry are currently a work in progress.

These are some sad and emotional manga that have moved me and was able to make me cry. Some of these manga might be completely bleak, some of them have an uplifting tone to them. Hopefully it can strike a chord with you as well.

I will mark the ones I personally highly loved and recommend if you want a good cry with a “🖤”.

(If you have any more recommendations, you can comment on my profile and I might give it a read and put it on this list)

Some of the best drawings in manga. Whether it is because of the level of detail or because of its creativity and uniqueness, these manga have beautiful artwork. This list only includes one manga per artist.

Of course this is very subjective and only consists of manga I’ve read. Feel free to comment more manga on my profile for me to check out and I might include in this list!

really just my fav bl mangas. please mind that some of these show/bring up triggering topics and/or are nsfw!

-Manga that deals with real life problems of gay people.
-Some of the manga in the stack are just fluffy that are portrayed in a more realistic way.

PS: Ao No Flag and Shimanami Tasogare are queer/lgbt themed manga not BL but I still added it here so it could get more recognition.

bls that made me want to cry/made me actually cry (aka the name of the stack is a lie, some of these are very tragic)

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

OooOooOooOooooooky spooky ghosties and ghoulies!
Range from horror to comedy, and everything in between—but all feature ghosts of some sort!

-Manga that breaks people.
-Manga that will make you feel empty rather than making you cry.

Good luck reading them.

If you're looking for more than simple fluff and classic twist and want a story that will stay with you for a long time after you're done reading, these are for you. Not to worry, these aren't dark dramas, they have their own kind of happy ending, but it's not with a carefree light heart.
I've only listed the reads that even though they really got to me, they were still beautiful stories. Each one of these titles gripped my heart and made me feel more than the usual BLs. Whether it be a character or the storyline, my mind kept going back to it, even several other reads afterwards.

collection of top quality BL manga

what to expect from this list ::

≫ masterpiece BL
≫ my personal favourite BL of all-time
≫ the very best in all aspects of story, characters, etc.
≫ BL that I have reread the most times

BL featuring musicians and music industry manga

what to expect from this list ::

≫ hot guys in a band; singers, guitarists, drummers, etc
≫ boys with dreams of being a musician
≫ fanboys and music lovers
≫ idols and managers

Manga that will make you cry, but in a way that will hopefully make you feel better letting it all out! Therefore they hold a sense of hope and aren’t strictly sad series.
They tend to be emotionally powerful and have strong characters to root for. They may also have a sense of revenge or the main character finally getting what they wanted after a long struggle as well.

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
Rainbow Sentai
Hirotta Nazo Seibutsu no Kansatsu Nikki
Orokamono no Ai no Uta

obviously art is subjective, but these bls have art styles that i think are really pretty! i'm putting one work per mangaka, but obviously if you like their style, you should also check out their other works!

for mangakas where i like their style as a whole, i'll describe their general style and recommend other works, for individual mangas i like the art for, i'll just comment on the manga :)

(this stack is arranged from more 'conventional' manga art styles to more 'unconventional' styles)

doesn't really reflect quality of the story at all, just really pretty cover art
