The Short Story Award is given to the best short manga or 4-koma manga.

A collection of amazing 1 volume manga that can be read in under 1 hour, for anyone wanting a quick but fulfilling read.

Quick reads that I enjoyed! All of these are single volume or oneshots except for Kamiya, which is a rare two-shot included in the Nude Model tankōbon.

Now let it do the Boyys...

The CGDCT (Cute girls doing cute things) Genre is a fairly popular genre amongst users. But scrolling though the stacks i found more and more Stacks which are doing the opposite... Cute Boys doing cute things? Many Anime Stack were made... but now im here!

With many thousands boys-love titles and titles which are not tagged as BL... i searched a collection of them, a small and user friendly (aka. no explicit tagged material includet) stack. Have fun exploring :)

A selection of BL themed manga with a vision, interesting art styles and dynamics, from high school romance to horror and science fiction. Now clearly half of these aren't from BL magazines, I picked them based on the following criteria:
- The main character is in love with a man (not necessarily requited or fulfilled)
- The emotional beats are deeply tied to an homoerotic relationship
- The author is known for writing BL

The order is from shortest to longest more or less. Enjoy!

[In Progress] I'm compiling the most impactful single volume manga I've read.

I will point out the titles that are part of anthologies.

An interest stack featuring the top 20 winners of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2020, with female and male winners included (so 40 winners total).

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners, from first place to twentieth place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.
