Volume 1 released after 2020.

These are BL manga with characters who are both salarymen, and found love at their workplace!
These are usually very heartwarming contemporary romance, but may have fantasy/supernatural elements.

(More will be added as time progresses)

This is a list of manga where the main characters or even all the characters are adults, whether they are college students or workers. Some of these manga have a big age gap (5 years or more) but I only included main characters who are at least 20 years old, which means they can be categorized as adults. Also, there are some series for which I only put the sequels because the main character is still under 20 years old in the prequel.

There are many other manga with adult characters that I've read but these are the ones I enjoy and like the most!

(At first I made this just for my personal list because I prefer lovely stories with adult characters~ but I decided to share in case you also have the same taste as me :))

I'll keep updating this stack! <3

rather than fall into generic execution, these BL utilize the typical settings, character traits and sentiments to morph them into stories that embrace visceral emotions of the human heart.

This stack lists works with airhead protagonists and/or male leads in BL.

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

Work in progress!

Practically all are completed- except around 2 bc they’re that good.
Wide range of genres and topics sort of organized together by their topic/subtopics and similarities.
Does not include other mangas by these authors so if you enjoy them check out the authors! Most are not problematic and have other really good stories, my fav authors are on my profile!
Free from SA and other such topics (unless it is for the plot and will be stated).

Missing stories: 10 years I loved you the most, the story about you x me, salad days, not for the faint of heart, spring snow, keep holding on, summer scent, 11:59 manga, the spooky love tale of gongchan seol.

I recently discovered that I have a favorite type of romance plot and it is 100% food-related!

Be it serving delicious food at a restaurant to your soon-to-be-lover, or eating at home and experimenting with cooking together, you'll find it all here 💕

Part.2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/50148

BLs that (in my opinion) deviate from typical BL tropes that can be rather unpleasant, nonsensical, or even flat-out problematic

The criteria being:
Believable romance development and natural chemistry
Healthy relationships characterized by mutual respect, consent (!), and proper communication
Likeable characters
No unnecessary/frustrating conflict or drama

Most of these are sfw or milder on the explicit content unless otherwise stated just because of personal preference!
