This stack contains BL stories that are not filled with lots of drama, toxic relationships and other problematic themes, but instead focus on relationships that are healthy and feel good.

Tags: Boys Love Healthy Relationships, BL Healthy Relationships, Yaoi Healthy Relationships, Shounen Ai Healthy Relationships

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): in this list you will find usually sweet, fluffy and heartwarming stories, anyway with not too much drama.
HIGH SCHOOL --> I'm doing a similar stack for college students

Are you tired of starting a BL story, super excited and than a f*cking r*pe/sexual assault happens for no reason? and after that, like it was nothing, a relationship begins? like wtf?
(i'm not against the representation r*pe/sexual assault per se, since it does happens in real life, but i'm DEFINITELY against the romanticization of those things in general, and especially in BL, since many stories portrays as something "normal" or even *trying not to throw up* "romantic". these are serious topics and should receive proper treatment when showed on media. this is especially sad considering the stigma that gay man/queer people have of been predators).
I'm also tired!
Unfortunately, i had to find these cute, healthy stories the hard way: trial and error.
so here are some of the BLs that i've enjoyed, some are fluffy and cute, some have a little spice (erotica) but always in a healthy, consensual way. ^^

If it’s a sports manga or webtoon, it’s in this. Doesn’t matter if it’s yaoi, got a romance plot line, or is just heavily sports related, I’ve got it here. Hopefully, you guys will find something you haven’t read on here. Enjoy! (Still working on writing all of the explanations)

Features BL titles about sports and/or sportsmen and their lives.

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

Work in progress!

these are editions that are a like a breathe of fresh air with the healthy relationship and beautiful illustrations.

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

Hello, it's me again with another list of BL stories! This time I made it by including young characters aka under 20 years old but NOT a shota. If you want to see the adult version of the list, kindly check this out: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10877
(or you can visit my profile and see the stack "The BL" in Adult Life)

So... I've read quite a lot of BL stories where the characters are underage, but these are the ones I enjoyed and liked the most because they have so much flavor in them. It just tastes like an orange, you know? Sweet, sour, a little bit astringent and bitter yet fresh. Love in youth does taste like that~

That's also the reason why I didn't put titles with slightly heavy topics/themes (Hidamari ga Kikoeru Series, Given, Hana wa Saku ka, Boy Meets Maria, Paradise View, etc) because they have something more than just love and youth. And that doesn't fit my stack concept. I still love them all very much, though!

Anyways, I'll keep updating this stack ♡

[WARNING! Some of the stories here have erotica tag which means it has sexual stuff. I will provide descriptions so that you can avoid them if you feel uncomfortable with such scenes :) thank you~]

Personal opinions ahead:
This stack consists of light-hearted stories(not nessesary comedies) with occasional serious moments/themes.
Pro tip: read anything by Natsume Isaku or Yamamoto Kotetsuko!

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

Work in progress!
