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

Futekiya (now integrated in Manga Planet) is an online service which offers officially licensed BL/Boys Love/Yaoi/Shounen Ai manga (partly flatrate-based subscription, partly buy/rent system with coins). Their library offers a large selection of BL manga and like with BL manga in general, those series vary a lot in terms of quality, from generic stories full of stereotypes to more interesting or unique series and hidden gems.

In this stack I collect a selection of manga which I found a good read. If you're new to Futekiya and are overwhelmed by the number of series or if you only want to use the service for a short amount of time while reading some of the better series, then this stack can be a good starting point for you.

[Work in progress - more series will be added]

Without anything sad, upsetting, hurtful, or over-the-top drama. Wholesome romance for a pleasant read. Only the happy stuff!

All relationships shown are healthy ones, unless specifically stated.


(Sex sometimes included!)

I only add materials I have completely read! So this list always updates as I continue to read.

Are you tired of starting a BL story, super excited and than a f*cking r*pe/sexual assault happens for no reason? and after that, like it was nothing, a relationship begins? like wtf?
(i'm not against the representation r*pe/sexual assault per se, since it does happens in real life, but i'm DEFINITELY against the romanticization of those things in general, and especially in BL, since many stories portrays as something "normal" or even *trying not to throw up* "romantic". these are serious topics and should receive proper treatment when showed on media. this is especially sad considering the stigma that gay man/queer people have of been predators).
I'm also tired!
Unfortunately, i had to find these cute, healthy stories the hard way: trial and error.
so here are some of the BLs that i've enjoyed, some are fluffy and cute, some have a little spice (erotica) but always in a healthy, consensual way. ^^

You will find yaoi, BL, manga with a male cast who act gay and fruity but "aren't", and anything similar here. It will be a selection of those I can recommend. Be aware that some are 18+. (More will be added from time to time)

I also made an Anime stack, so check it out if you feel interested!
Have fun reading :)

I’ve read a lot of boys love and most tend to blend together—these do not. These mangas leave a lasting impression because of one or more of the following qualities:

- compelling/effective and detailed/vivid ART; bonus of distinctiveness in style
- evocative, dynamic, intelligible COMPOSITION
- impactful/cinematic, fluid PANELLING
- gorgeous CHARACTER ART (in terms of physical appearance only); bonus of memorable or iconic character DESIGN
- naturalistic, non-sentimental DIALOGUE
- thoughtful CHARACTERISATION resulting in believable or relatable/multidimensional/complex characters who can exist and are interesting as individuals outside of the romance
- CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT that’s natural, reflected in character action/interiority, and are depicted in depth
- interesting character RELATIONSHIPS that are well-developed, grounded and complex, and/or with bonds that can be felt; irresistible character chemistry
- compelling, creative, coherent (visual) STORYTELLING in which narrative techniques are used deftly to develop the story and its elements
- THEMES are woven into the narrative and are explored in depth and with nuance to provoke thought/give deeper insight or different perspective into a topic

Stack notes:
- Listed for each entry are the notable qualities as described above that distinguish the manga

Notes:
3rd Best Erotic: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/hjovt31/drugless-sex-2-tatsumi-to-inui

Bl where the couple starts out as best friends/childhood friends already. They usually have extreme ‘friendly’ intimacy even before they confess. Often side characters will be surprised if they’re not together and even when they’re apart they often can’t shut up about each other.

Their arcs are usually either 1 of them already being in love and trying to hide it/confess, or abt both of them slowly realising they've always been in love.

Childhood friends who’ve fallen out/lost contact or aren’t very close are excluded. Mostly excluding smut-heavy ones bc they're not the right vibe for what I'm looking for (also excluding sequels)

goodness guaranteed😇🙏

*may include smut

Best Comics are chosen from first volume works.
