This stack is a collection of BL/Boys Love/Yaoi manga (tagged with "Erotica") 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

Stories that feature people who have liberal/unusual jobs or study more specific subjects (like botany, art, etc).

A very big range of workplace/study settings, going from patisseries, to hairdressing salons, dental clinics, greenhouses and more ✨

I guarantee (by my own standards haha) that they’re good and have healthy dynamics.

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

Manga I would consider LGBT rather than a specific genre like BL or GL. I also included lesser-known stories I enjoyed that had LGBT characters whose identities are not made to be major plot points.

I'll continue to update this as I find more!

manga with less than ten chapters - which are not oneshots

all manga listed are of various genres, please check genre/theme/demographic tags before reading :]

(i've only included ones i *personally* enjoyed + from my list)

if you have any recs , feel free to send them my way

happy reading 🫶

Some BL manga I liked a lot! No particular order. Does NOT include LGBT autobiographies, gag comedies/parodies, or manga that has gay vibes but isn't technically BL.

My taste may not be the same as yours; read with appropriate discretion.

romance series that have a good balance of drama and lighter moments.

Good and great manga available on Manga Planet BL selecionar (futekyia) for those who can support the authors through the membership and read in official sources ✨

Ngl there’s a lot of manga that are not my cup of tea there, but I want to show you my favorite ones in their library.
(even if you already read one of them and liked it, iif you can pay for a bit to support the authors it’s great as well)

This stack contains BL that center around workshops of any kind: shoe, hat, tailor shops etc.

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

Work in progress!

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10213

Once again, I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which feel wrong and/or fetishizing. (Feel free to let me know if you feel like there's an item that shouldn't be on this list, I don't remember some of the stories well since I'm adding some of them to the stack around 6 months after finishing them.)

(PS: More descriptions will be added later on)

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

Work in progress!
