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.

Usually BL manga are likely to have a story limited to 1-3 volumes, rarely more. That can be sooo disappointing sometimes, because you know the story is really good, but it finished too quickly and you just want more! Fortunately, sometimes it happens you can find some really good works where the story is developed in a longer space and you can really enjoy it.
Here my favs (volumes >= 5), there can be also some titles that are sequel of others, I tried to put it in order in that case - feel free to contact me if you know more titles!
I do not consider webtoon series in this list because usually they are longer than manga, but at the same time they can be a little shallow in the story writing.

Manga featuring men / women who work (or want to work) in a field related to maintaining personal appearance. This may include, but is not limited to: hair dresser, nail artist, make-up artist, spa employee, etc.

I created separate stacks for the office love stories and also for showbiz setting, so in this stack we will see more love stories between teachers, partimers, shop workers, bar/restaurant waiters, hosts, detectives/police officers and so on..
