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

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

-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.

Outstanding works I've found while going through A LOT of yaoi/shounen ai series. I rated each and every single manga here with a 10. Deserved or not, they are a 10 for me.

They really stuck with me and I'll keep adding more in the future. So stay tunned!

Disclaimer: healthy does not mean perfect! Some of these relationships definitely have their issues, but what makes them healthy is their communication and willingness to improve, as well as the fact that the issues are not depicted as acceptable. No r*pe, incest, or toxic age gaps.

Individual descriptions may contain light spoilers.

Do you want to read as many manga as possible?
Do you want to read manga of different genres?
I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

- Note: I haven't read every single one of them. It's a small collection for those who love short 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!

Not found on MAL: Kare to Obake to Ren'ai Shousetsuka(2020)

What it says on the tin. Stories I thought were particularly good featuring queer men. Some are BL, some are not. It's literally just my personal taste!

Includes Manga without spicy scenes at all as well as those where they are only included in bonus chapters

Stuff not on MAL:
Incorrigible - 3 bonus chapters (ch. 6-8)

doesn't really reflect quality of the story at all, just really pretty cover art

boys love manga that features consent, realistic characters, and that I personally liked enough to recommend.

things I think qualify as things that often annoy different romance fans. If you like these things this is not a personal attack.

1 long love triangles

2 terrible communication

3 love drama being the entirety of the series

4 Male MCs that have zero guts

5 Female MCs that are copy paste fantasies

6 Waiting 500 chapters to get together

there will be straight gay and lesbian manga here
