Top 10 "BEST COMIC" (volumen) in 2020 by chil-chil.net.

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): I'm going to put my favs, they are usually sweet, fluffy and heartwarming stories, anyway with not too much drama.
HIGH SCHOOL --> I'm doing a similar stack for college students

Outstanding works I've found while going through A LOT of yaoi/shounen ai series. I rated each and every single manga here with a 10. Deserved or not, they are a 10 for me.

They really stuck with me and I'll keep adding more in the future. So stay tunned!

included from:
(2017) Chil-Chil BL Award: BEST COMIC

Stack notes:
- Characters are male in sex and (mostly) masculine in gender expression
- Applicable character(s) listed for each manga
- Contains BL (boys love)

I’ve read a lot of boys love and most tend to blend together—these do not. These mangas leave a lasting impression because of one or more of the following qualities:

- compelling/effective and detailed/vivid ART; bonus of distinctiveness in style
- evocative, dynamic, intelligible COMPOSITION
- impactful/cinematic, fluid PANELLING
- gorgeous CHARACTER ART (in terms of physical appearance only); bonus of memorable or iconic character DESIGN
- naturalistic, non-sentimental DIALOGUE
- thoughtful CHARACTERISATION resulting in believable or relatable/multidimensional/complex characters who can exist and are interesting as individuals outside of the romance
- CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT that’s natural, reflected in character action/interiority, and are depicted in depth
- interesting character RELATIONSHIPS that are well-developed, grounded and complex, and/or with bonds that can be felt; irresistible character chemistry
- compelling, creative, coherent (visual) STORYTELLING in which narrative techniques are used deftly to develop the story and its elements
- THEMES are woven into the narrative and are explored in depth and with nuance to provoke thought/give deeper insight or different perspective into a topic

Stack notes:
- Listed for each entry are the notable qualities as described above that distinguish the manga

Mangas with compelling visual elements that together give the mangas a cinematic feel which I think would make for incredible anime, aesthetically-speaking.

The ingredients these mangas have for stunning anime:
- captivating and thorough CHARACTER DESIGN resulting in iconic characters (visual attractiveness a strong bonus for me)
- rich, detailed illustrations to create atmospheric/immersive SETTING
- stylised, vivid/realistic, detailed but polished ART with a degree of distinctiveness in style
- compelling, dynamic COMPOSITION and/or creative, evocative and fluid PANELLING that make the manga read like watching a film

Stack notes:
- While the mangas have to varying degrees all the listed qualities, I note for each work the “notable” aka its most outstanding quality that makes it cinematic
- I’ve read, am reading, or PTR but have looked through parts of (denoted by “initial impression”) the listed mangas; stack will be updated accordingly
- Includes unadapted and adapted works; adaptations themselves are irrelevant as they don’t affect the mangas’ quality

Ashita, Kare no Bed de. https://myanimelist.net/manga/35677/Ashita_Kare_no_Bed_de
https://relatedanime.com/manga/35677

Manga with art styles that are memorable/captivating because of their distinctiveness in addition to being detail-rich, vivid/realistic, stylised, clean & polished, and fairly aesthetically pleasing. Effective composition & panelling are taken into account too for an overall rich visual experience.

These works are such feasts for the eyes that I feel compelled to read them even when I am not particularly interested in the stories/plot.

Stack notes:
- I’ve read, am reading, or PTR but have looked through parts of (denoted by “*initial impression”) the listed mangas; stack will be updated accordingly
- Max 3 entries per artist (I’m exercising self-restraint, but safe to assume that other works by the same artist are worth checking out)
- No prequels/sequels included
- Contains BL (boys love)
