Manga featuring characters who dress like the opposite sex either as a hobby or in everyday life. This will include both women and men.

Quite a few of these are not tagged as Crossdressing by MAL, that's one of the reasons for this list.

The manga that also have an anime adaptation will not be featured here.

Itoshi no Vanilla-chan

-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.

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)

Works in which the main protagonist has been in previous romantic relationships prior to getting together with their main love interest, or is established to have been in a romantic relationship prior to the events of the story.

(Mostly) multi-volume bls that will (mostly) reward your patience

All of Seven Seas Entertainment’s ‘The Complete Manga Collection’ omnibus editions.

**NOTE: I am only including things which actually have ‘The Complete Manga Collection’ in the release title, so regular omnibus releases like ‘In the corner of the world’ will not be included**

These are single-volume English releases of manga originally published in Japanese as 2-3 volumes.

I used a combination of Amazon listings and their own website to gather this information, but please feel free to message me if I missed anything!

Seven Seas Entertainment has a lot of queer manga.

the long awaited sequel to the first stack! there are more guilty pleasure and atypical picks on this one and the criteria is really just to leave an impression on me instead of being 10/10 perfect bangers, so be warned!

Side profiles depicted within film posters often evoke a sense of loneliness, introspection, or mystery. The themes associated with such designs can vary widely, so please assume these are psychological or drama based for potential interpretations. Because a lot of these are Shoujo and Josei, existential themes might be touched upon, sexual assault being one of them; this is a reminded of importance to research trigger warnings in art.

Criteria for this list:
• No sequel series.
• Full-body and portrait shots are excluded from this list.
• Likewise, diagonal shots (Kasane) are excluded.
• Covers must depict multiple character's from the Shoulders up (ex. Bus Hashiru)
• Harsh side profile, no "SHAFT tilting" towards the viewer (ex. Girl May Kill).
