BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai where at least one of the protagonists WAS heterosexual before meeting their love interests.

This is a list of quality BL works that avoid a lot of common unhealthy tropes in the genre.

Wholesome in this context does not necessarily mean fluffy stories devoid of drama (though there are some). A lot of these do have drama, but the point is that the relationships have a large focus on consent and are also healthy, positive influences for the characters.

All of these entries are complete and are personally recommended favorites (roughly arranged in order of enjoyment).

All works listed exhibit the following:
- Consensual, positive, non-toxic relationships
- Strong characterization and/or strong narratives
- Completed, shorter length series (most are 1-3 volumes, upper limit is 5)
- Quality art (bonus points for unique and non-stereotypical art styles)
- Manga works only

Other common preferences, but not in every work:
- Relationship equality and/or reversal of expected dynamics
- Non-mundane settings and premises (speculative/supernatural/fantasy/sci-fi elements)

Comments for each entry are currently a work in progress.

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): I'm going to put my favs, they are usually sweet, fluffy and heartwarming stories, anyway with not too much drama.
HIGH SCHOOL --> I'm doing a similar stack for college students

This stack contains BL manga which are sweet, cute, fluffy, and wholesome.

a collection of manga that had me do a double take on reading the description bc either the premise was so insane i had to know how on earth the author was planning execute it, its a concept i never would've thought of in a million years, is perverse in a way that's so wild it circles back around to sexless, or simply is so wack that morbid curiosity got the better of me. some are less severe than others, really this stack ranges from 'oh that's a bit of an odd idea' to 'who on EARTH could POSSIBLY be the target audience for this???' so uh. good luck.

i don't think im even recommending these i just can't be the only one forced to know that they exist
