Ojisans need more love!! Ideally the characters would all be in their 40+, but since there aren't as many of those, I've set the minimum age to be included to 35~

Ages included in the description of each entry if I saw it mentioned in the manga! (maybe not on the ones where it's been a while since I read it lol)

Purposefully left out ones that I didn't like so much, but those are tagged with "oyaji" in my manga list if you want the full list~

Looking for quality BL that doesn't pre-date the woolly mammoth? Then this is the list for you! Modern BL manga that received top accolades in 2020 to the present, which will grow over time as more titles become 1st place award winners, #1 bestsellers, and receive other top accolades. Some manga pre-date this time frame but are included if they won an award or topped a list in the past few years.

BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai manga about men who work together in an office—but that's not the only thing they do together. Includes not only co-workers and colleagues but also relationships with bosses/superiors.

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.

Top 10 "BEST COMIC" (volumen) in 2021 by chil-chil.net.

It's your classic office love story!

These are BL manga with characters who are both salarymen, and found love at their workplace!
These are usually very heartwarming contemporary romance, but may have fantasy/supernatural elements.

(More will be added as time progresses)

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

Live-action adaptations often leave a bad impression on anyone who has read or watched the source material. Many are even quick to say that they just should never exist. But I beg to differ—these kind of shows helps us look at things in another perspective. WILL your interpretation of [manga] be different if it is acted by people? I don't want to say live-actions are good, in fact I'm still cringing most of the time, but they give fresh air at least.

BL Manga with Live-action Adaptations! is exactly what it says. It specifically includes:
‣ Direct adaptations (said show has been adapted)
‣ Indirect adaptations (manga or novels that were created after the live-action).
‣ If both a manga and a novel are on MAL, the direct adaptation will be the only one added due to the interest stack limit.
‣ Upcoming adaptations

With the rise of BL manga/webtoon adaptations, the interest stack will be outdated at some point. Thus, I'll periodically be updating this during my free time. If I missed something, feel free to contact me here on MAL!

-Manga that deals with real life problems of gay people.
-Some of the manga in the stack are just fluffy that are portrayed in a more realistic way.

PS: Ao No Flag and Shimanami Tasogare are queer/lgbt themed manga not BL but I still added it here so it could get more recognition.

From puppy love to twisted minds, Boys' Love has a variety of flavors to choose from, and I'm determined to taste it all!

Join me in diving into different facets of BL by picking one of the titles below!

I tried to compile interesting titles I have yet to read, so these are as much as a surprise to me as it is to you :3

age gap where both characters are adults. High schoolers are so passé it's all about old farts now <3
My criteria for this list
-my general age gap is at least 10 years, but I have made exceptions for series I like
-the older character needs to look older, I don’t just want 2 identical looking bishies
-the exception to this is non-human or reincarnated beings if I like it enough
-the age gap couple needs to be the main couple in the story
-The younger character needs to be at least college aged, or older. I don’t want HS characters even if they are of age

This stack lists works with airhead protagonists and/or male leads in BL.

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

Work in progress!

Manga featuring protagonists between the ages of 30 and 40.

I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

- Note: I haven't read every single one of them. It's a small collection for those who love short manga.
-Note 2: I might add an entry twice. I try my best to add only entries I haven't added yet.
