(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

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.

BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai where at least one of the protagonists WAS heterosexual before meeting their love interests.

This stack is a collection of BL/Boys Love/Shounen Ai manga (without the "Erotica" tag) which are done after 1 volume and don't continue in further sequels, spin-offs or other related series. Listed here are only manga where one story fills out the entire volume. Manga with included one-shots that have nothing to do with the main story as well as collections of several short stories are excluded.

Tags: 1 volume boys love, 1 volume BL

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.

Collection of boys love manga that can possibly be enjoyed even by those that don't care about or even dislike the genre in general. And you can trust me on that, because I certainly do not like the genre in general.

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 - high school and college/university): in this list you will find usually sweet, fluffy and heartwarming stories, anyway with not too much drama.
HIGH SCHOOL --> I'm doing a similar stack for college students

Manga involving different sexualities and gender identities, aside from heterosexual, lesbian, gay & cisgender.

Important mention: I am only including manga that focus on the sexuality/gender of the queer characters (at least quite a bit) or their journey to discovering themselves. So just having a queer character in a manga is not enough.

If you're looking for short reviews for each one, I do have a post on my blog discussing them. Unfortunately, I can't provide a link here, but you can find one on my profile.

I love reading tragic and twisted romance. So I made this stack for myself and also for the people who enjoy reading them. Hope you'll be able to find something new through this stack ^^


I have a stack for "Short Psychological Manga" if anyone is interested

All the manga that have a trans character I've read!

List that will always be updated

Some may be considered spoilers

Order from best to worst, from favorite to least favorite (in MY OPINION, a transmasc person)

A list of disturbing mangas where the queerness of the protagonists holds a central place in the plot, because i am personally growing increasingly frustrated and/or bored with the innocuous queer representation in utterly sterilised mainstream medias.

These queer mangas are ambivalent, some of them might deal in harmful tropes, but they are interested in queerness, and won't treat it as fragile porcelain or unstable explosive.

TW everything you can think of, like this stack is not a most-hardcore-stuff-you-can-read marathon list, but honestly the only reason it's not classified +18 is because i didn't include any Gengoroh Tagame.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30435

I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which just... feel... wrong and fetishizing? (I mean, e.g.: Ten Count by Takarai Rihito and almost all works of Kurahashi Tomo) Feel free to let me know if you feel like there is something included in this stack that feels like it shouldn't be here.

(list is arranged mostly by my score)

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

not on MAL:

Walk on Water - 9/10 a complete package of good pacing, writing, art, characters, etc. extremely nsfw tho. tw: rape, porn industry related exploitation

queer manga that i really like as a gay man. this isn’t complete - i will add more soon
