These Boys Love titles feature characters who are drawn together in spite of their very different personalities.

Tags for searchability: Yaoi, Boys-Love, Shounen-ai, Male/Male Romance, Gay Men, Gay Teenagers

This stack contains BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai manga where at least one guy is scary or tough looking on the outside, but in reality he's a sweet guy.

Tags: Tough Guys BL

Features a rich x poor relationship. This may include sex for money turned into a relationship, Daddy Long legs, royalty, boss x subordinate, etc.

This will exclude any arranged marriage couples as they are listed in my other interest stack here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/7212

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY
Ok, we know how many stories there are with students of all kinds (delinquents, honor students, baka/stupid ones, popular ones, sporty and son on)
But sometimes high school and college/university stories are different, so I wanted to create separate lists, anyway I'll try to add usually sweet, fluffy and heartwarming stories.
--> I'm doing a similar stack for high school students

BL Manga featuring character who are Otaku.

o·ta·ku
/ōˈtäko͞o/
noun
(in Japan) a young person who is obsessed with computers or particular aspects of popular culture to the detriment of their social skills.
"every other otaku can run on about their hobby endlessly"

In this list there will be people who are obsessed with anime, manga, cosplay, gaming, etc

Disclaimer: healthy does not mean perfect! Some of these relationships definitely have their issues, but what makes them healthy is their communication and willingness to improve, as well as the fact that the issues are not depicted as acceptable. No r*pe, incest, or toxic age gaps.

Individual descriptions may contain light spoilers.

PART 3: /22067

From puppy love to twisted minds, Boys' Love has a variety of flavors to choose from, and I'm determined to taste it all!

Join me in diving into different facets of BL by picking one of the titles below!

I tried to compile interesting titles I have yet to read, so these are as much as a surprise to me as it is to you :3

manga that really show personalities of characters and their relationships :3

so much bad bl out there. fortunately for you, i’ve gone on a mission to scrub through a bunch of them, and came out with quite a few actually good ones that care about consent and don’t portray mlm as sexual objects for your consumption! here’s a curated collection of my favs (rated 7 or higher)

ongoing non-mal titles
don’t say you love me: 8/10

completed non-mal titles
my way with you: 9/10
the third ending: 7/10
the keystone romantic combination: 7/10
watch out for the dream demon: 8/10
the pizza delivery man and the gold palace: 8/10

Without anything sad, upsetting, hurtful, or over-the-top drama. Wholesome romance for a pleasant read. Only the happy stuff!

All relationships shown are healthy ones, unless specifically stated.

(Sex sometimes included!)

I only add materials I have completely read! So this list always updates as I continue to read.

bless ur eyes lads

my best picks of BL that i barely hear anyone talk about

other ones that arent on MAL:
➸ Koisuru Psycho no Shirayuki-kun (read TW)
➸ Merry Marbling
➸ Starting With a Lie
➸ Netkama Punch
➸ The 10 Years I loved you the most

*kusattemo ani doesn’t rlly have a romance focus but it’s funny

A stack including everything from BL classics like junjou romantica and love stage, to newer gen manga like sasaki to miyano and given


**DISCLAIMER** I do not condone actions taken in manga like super lovers and hitorijime my hero, but I included them because overall they're pretty well known BL

A new list (in the works) to track all BL that have plot themes and story settings that have an equal or greater value to the romantic BL plotline.

What does this mean? It means the romantic plot does not outshine or overpower the rest of the story, while not becoming a sub-plot. We like romance, but does it HAVE to be the entire story?

Sex is not always present, I'll try to note when it is.

This list will be hard for me to fill. Personal challenge?
I'll update this frequently as I do with my other lists. Should you have feedback, reach out to me!
