This is a list of manga where the main characters or even all the characters are adults, whether they are college students or workers. Some of these manga have a big age gap (5 years or more) but I only included main characters who are at least 20 years old, which means they can be categorized as adults. Also, there are some series for which I only put the sequels because the main character is still under 20 years old in the prequel.

There are many other manga with adult characters that I've read but these are the ones I enjoy and like the most!

(At first I made this just for my personal list because I prefer lovely stories with adult characters~ but I decided to share in case you also have the same taste as me :))

I'll keep updating this stack! <3

BL mangas that I consider good, that scored between 7 and 10 in my criteria.

This is the "light" version of the list, I also have another list with good BLs where sex is the focus. https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30064

collection of BL containing queer representation and LGBTQ+ characters and themes, either as a significant mention or a heavy plot detail

what to expect from this list ::

≫ M/M relationships with LGBTQ+ sensitivity
≫ explicit real-life LGBTQ+ experiences
≫ LGBTQ+ diverse themes

Personal opinions ahead:
This stack consists of light-hearted stories(not nessesary comedies) with occasional serious moments/themes.
Pro tip: read anything by Natsume Isaku or Yamamoto Kotetsuko!

Note: arranged in the order of release. Most of the titles are NSFW.

Work in progress!

Not found on MAL: Kare to Obake to Ren'ai Shousetsuka(2020)

BL where at least one of the main characters is out to themselves/others as queer or gay.

Work in progress!

This stack features series with an established romance between the main couple from the get go. I focused this stack on standalone rather than sequels, DJs and collection of short stories.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.

Work in progress!

Practically all are completed- except around 2 bc they’re that good.
Wide range of genres and topics sort of organized together by their topic/subtopics and similarities.
Does not include other mangas by these authors so if you enjoy them check out the authors! Most are not problematic and have other really good stories, my fav authors are on my profile!
Free from SA and other such topics (unless it is for the plot and will be stated).

Missing stories: 10 years I loved you the most, the story about you x me, salad days, not for the faint of heart, spring snow, keep holding on, summer scent, 11:59 manga, the spooky love tale of gongchan seol.

I recently discovered that I have a favorite type of romance plot and it is 100% food-related!

Be it serving delicious food at a restaurant to your soon-to-be-lover, or eating at home and experimenting with cooking together, you'll find it all here 💕

Boys' Love media with a focus on food as a plot point.

BLs that (in my opinion) deviate from typical BL tropes that can be rather unpleasant, nonsensical, or even flat-out problematic

The criteria being:
Believable romance development and natural chemistry
Healthy relationships characterized by mutual respect, consent (!), and proper communication
Likeable characters
No unnecessary/frustrating conflict or drama

Most of these are sfw or milder on the explicit content unless otherwise stated just because of personal preference!
