This stack is a collection of BL/Boys Love/Shounen Ai manga (without the "Erotica" tag) which are done after 1 volume and don't continue in further sequels, spin-offs or other related series. Listed here are only manga where one story fills out the entire volume. Manga with included one-shots that have nothing to do with the main story as well as collections of several short stories are excluded.

Tags: 1 volume boys love, 1 volume BL

A list of disturbing mangas where the queerness of the protagonists holds a central place in the plot, because i am personally growing increasingly frustrated and/or bored with the innocuous queer representation in utterly sterilised mainstream medias.

These queer mangas are ambivalent, some of them might deal in harmful tropes, but they are interested in queerness, and won't treat it as fragile porcelain or unstable explosive.

TW everything you can think of, like this stack is not a most-hardcore-stuff-you-can-read marathon list, but honestly the only reason it's not classified +18 is because i didn't include any Gengoroh Tagame.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30435

I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which just... feel... wrong and fetishizing? (I mean, e.g.: Ten Count by Takarai Rihito and almost all works of Kurahashi Tomo) Feel free to let me know if you feel like there is something included in this stack that feels like it shouldn't be here.

(list is arranged mostly by my score)

really just my fav bl mangas. please mind that some of these show/bring up triggering topics and/or are nsfw!

not on MAL:

Walk on Water - 9/10 a complete package of good pacing, writing, art, characters, etc. extremely nsfw tho. tw: rape, porn industry related exploitation

-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.

Manga with LGBT+ characters that do not focus on romance—some have romance in them, but it isn’t the main focus of the story.

bls that made me want to cry/made me actually cry (aka the name of the stack is a lie, some of these are very tragic)

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

Manga Autobiographies (meaning the author is writing about their own life)

Manga I would consider LGBT rather than a specific genre like BL or GL. I also included lesser-known stories I enjoyed that had LGBT characters whose identities are not made to be major plot points.

I'll continue to update this as I find more!

just the bunch of mangas/manhwas that have healthy relationships / good character development.
theres no toxicity.

It's hard to find queer Manga and it's even harder to find ones with good representation.

Manga with queer themes are often extremely sexualized (yaoi and yuri for example). They often feel very disingenuous, as if the person writing the Manga has never even talked to a LGBTQIA+ person. These Manga are often written for straight audiences that just want to get off to a gay couple.

But luckily there are a few Manga that have really good representation and that are often even written by a queer person.

Here are my recommendations as a person that is also part of the LGBTQIA+ community:

SFW and light NSFW, simple and short BL manga for non BL fans

most have lgbt characters, some just have ~the vibes~

this list currently isn’t being updated since I don’t really use MAL anymore. might come back to it in the future though.

maximum 7 volumes

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.

A collection of single-volume manga from various genres I've enjoyed and would recommend.
