i got you

in rough order of (LGBT PPL!!!! -> not really BL but BL themes/vibes -> classic BL -> deranged do not read)

Horror manga create an atmosphere of unease. Like Mystery manga, they encourage viewers to learn more about their world... but there may be secrets that are better left unexplored. Through eerie music and sounds, visceral or disturbing imagery, or startling moments, works of Horror make you worry about what gruesome thing is coming next.

This subgenre of horror intentionally focuses on grotesque or psychologically disturbing violations of the body. From disease to dismemberment the core of it is what can happen to the human body. It is not unusual for this to also include sexual, alien infestation, strange movements, transformations, and utter destruction of the human body, However I will try to save some of those manga for Ero-Guro

>More of my manga recs are in my profile! Comment what u are after an I can make some more!

manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL, Historical)
I Love Amy (GL, Psychological)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

Volume 1 released after 2020.

Mangas with a naturalistic approach to backgrounds.
Not only are they drawn in excruciating details, or extremely well documented, but by simply looking at the panels you can conjure in your mind how the air smells or how the ground feels as if you remembered your own hometown.

BL Manga that tell a rich, memorable story. Carefully curated to be easy to recommend to non-BL fans.

BL, like all manga categories, has a specific brand of tropes and genre-specific bullshit that most fans learn to tolerate. That makes it hard to introduce new people to the genre.

These are manga that aren't just 'two men are hot and in love' (not that there's anything wrong with that). All these titles are incredible stories in their own right, with compelling plots that are worth discussing. They're the kinds of BL I would show someone to express why I love the genre, and maybe persuade them to dip their toes into it.

Every series has listed the closest adjacent genre(s) to help personalize recommendations according to taste. Some have erotica in them (but it's usually relevant to the story or fairly light/earned after a fair amount of narrative buildup).


Criteria for appearing on this list:
-An interesting story that you could actually talk about (Bonus points for cool world-building, fantastic art, or other factors that would rocket it's popularity if the story was in a more popular genre).
-The main lead's relationship with his male love interest is Significant, as well as Explicitly Canon.
-A fairly low level of common BL tropes (to make it more palatable to non-BL fans).
-It doesn't suck.

Every great couple has:
>Someone who is no longer (or has never been) human, who
>should also be a source of incredibly unsettling body horror and/or cool fight scenes
>and have larger-than-life consequences (or at the very least include some intense drama)

This is simply what an ideal relationship looks like. I don't make the rules.


(If you know more manga that fits these themes, please for the love of god tell me.)

Visual Novel example: Saya no Uta (Nitroplus)
Original Fiction example: A Cornstalk Fiddle (https://archiveofourown.org/works/15009599/chapters/34790603)

A list of disturbing mangas where the queerness of the protagonists holds a central place in the plot, because i am personally growing increasingly frustrated and/or bored with the innocuous queer representation in utterly sterilised mainstream medias.

These queer mangas are ambivalent, some of them might deal in harmful tropes, but they are interested in queerness, and won't treat it as fragile porcelain or unstable explosive.

TW everything you can think of, like this stack is not a most-hardcore-stuff-you-can-read marathon list, but honestly the only reason it's not classified +18 is because i didn't include any Gengoroh Tagame.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30435

I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which just... feel... wrong and fetishizing? (I mean, e.g.: Ten Count by Takarai Rihito and almost all works of Kurahashi Tomo) Feel free to let me know if you feel like there is something included in this stack that feels like it shouldn't be here.

(list is arranged mostly by my score)

From fantasy adventure to historical fiction to, yes, superheroes and monsters, manga has stories for readers of every genre and age.
Here is a list of manga I hope you can enjoy.

A list of manga where supernatural beings inhabit the bodies of human beings whether they be dead or alive through various means such as a pact made between the host and inhabitant, sealing the being inside a host, cursed weapons affecting their weilder, possession, taking over the body through transformation/consumption or more than one occupant in a single body.

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)

Manga & Manhua & Manhwa + novels in the bl drama or psychological category that are AMAZING reads. I would highly recommend all of these.

some mangas with unsettling atmosphere, that may make you feel something is wrong

(only 1 manga per author, as I want some diversity)


feel free to make recommendations

The stuff that's a little offbeat for the discerning audience.
