Collection of boys love manga that can possibly be enjoyed even by those that don't care about or even dislike the genre in general. And you can trust me on that, because I certainly do not like the genre in general.

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.

Unnerving queer stories. Mostly supernatural <3
(Mayor content warnings for most of these manga)

Once again, I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which feel wrong and/or fetishizing. (Feel free to let me know if you feel like there's an item that shouldn't be on this list, I don't remember some of the stories well since I'm adding some of them to the stack around 6 months after finishing them.)

(PS: More descriptions will be added later on)

tw! a lot of these mangas contain very dark and nsfw topics like (but not limited to) manipulation, abuse, violence, rape, prostitution, incest, drugs, murder, etc.

LGBTQ+ characters in horror manga. Not all are great representations. A couple are not listed as horror on MAL but I thought they were horror-adjacent.

Not recommended for those who are easily disturbed - contains adult content such as violence, physical/psychological torture and sensitive topics. Those without comments are manga/manhwas that I haven't read yet, or that I finished a long time ago and want to read again before commenting.

When questioned with "what are the best manga?" many readers would opt to suggest a series that has been in serialisation for years with dozens of volumes in total, but what about the shorter manga? I find humour in the irony of "it's getting dragged out" as a criticism when there are so many fantastic short manga -- even one's with a single chapter being on par (or even better) than long running manga. Despite this, a rhetoric of 'longer=better' remains...

A one shot manga is a manga released as a standalone chapter. Typically, these are only released in the magazine itself, however are often found to later be released into a collection of stories as a tankoubon release-either by the same author or as an anthology relevant to an overarching theme. For volume releases here, I suggest reading all of them as they either fight the criteria or were later merged on the MyAnimeList database.

A continuation of last year's 'Best of the Best BL 2023' interest stack, featuring some personal favorites alongside many new additions that caught my eye this year. As before, this stack is neither ranked nor in order and is based purely on my subjective taste. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy the journey of discovery. Take care and happy reading!
