manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL)
My Mom’s a Superstar (GL)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

manhuas or novels danmei!

Danmei (Chinese: 耽美; pinyin: dānměi; lit. 'indulging beauty') is a genre of literature and other fictional media originating from China which features romantic relationships between male characters

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With the rise of BL manga/webtoon adaptations, the interest stack will be outdated at some point.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 & Manhua & Manhwa + novels in the bl drama or psychological category that are AMAZING reads. I would highly recommend all of these.

BL mangas that I consider good, that scored between 7 and 10 in my criteria.

This is the "light" version of the list, I also have another list with good BLs where sex is the focus. https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30064

The rare series where no one is toxic, not even the side characters

Ranked by order of when they first got a spot in the top 10 (or were scored above a 9). Description will have the day they first entered along with the rank they attained and what score, along with the highest rank and score it attained. Note: The highest score isn't necessarily the score it had when it had the peak rank.

Found with the Wayback Machine. MAL didn't always have manga; the earliest crawl on the archive is on July 13, 2007.

Some things worth noting: In the span of 16 years, only four manga have had the #1 spot, with the lion's share of the time holding the title belonging to Berserk. Berserk has been in the top 10 since day one and has not left it once. One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist have also spent the majority of the time in the top 10, however they were pushed out temporarily a few times.

There used to be rankings for Original English Language (OEL) manga, or western comics mimicking the style of a manga. All OELs were pruned from the database in 2016, likely due to them being difficult to define.

Light novels and non-light novels used to be rolled into one Top Novels section, however they split them up in early 2021.

While the Doujinshi tab has been there since 2008, a few years ago all of the doujins that were parodies of other series were removed, leaving just original hentai and BL works and scant few other entries. RIP to the days of the top doujins tab being half Naruto x Sasuke fanworks.

Of the 47 series on this list, 12 don't have an anime adaptation (though Battle Royale has both a live action and a manga adaptation), 15 have an incomplete one with little hope of receiving a continuation/remake, 9 that are currently being animated (including the Rurouni Kenshin remake), 8 with completed adaptations and the remaining 3 are manga adaptations of anime. I'm counting Jojo Part 7 as not having one since there's been no announcement yet (though it's only inevitable for it to be animated) and Nausicaa and Akira as incomplete despite their respective movies technically reaching the end of the source material due to how much they left out. Also worth noting that Fruits Basket and Fullmetal Alchemist initially had incomplete adaptations that were later remade into complete ones, along with Rurouni Kenshin, whose remake is currently being animated.

Of the 47 titles on this list, 11 are currently unfinished/still in publication. This is including Vagabond, which is officially on hiatus and will likely never receive a proper ending, and not including Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Rurouni Kenshin, which are still being published through The Jojolands and The Hokkaido Arc, but are still their own separate series.

This list, but for anime: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35061

Not included:
☆ Bedtime Fairy Tales by Fishbone (Manhua)
☆ Starting with a Lie by Liang Azha (Manhua)
☆ Little Mushroom by Yu Chi Jin Ze (art) & Yishisi Zhou (Manhua)

This is my go-to list for historical/period BL manga/manhwa. I love stories that capture the vibe of different eras and offer a solid dose of timeless romance.

The stories in this list unfold against historical backdrops, with characters facing their own time-specific struggles. It's a solid collection for fellow historical romance enjoyers.
