Looking for quality BL but don't want to wade through a mountain of mediocre crap to find it? Then this is the list for you! A combination of 1st place award winners, #1 bestsellers and other BL manga that received top accolades between the years 2015-2019. Some manga pre-date this time frame but are included if they won an award or topped a list during one of these years. The cream of the yaoi crop!

Only japanese manga with delinquents/yankees or yakuza characters

I think it's probably my fav type of BL - I love sweet and fluffy stories, but some of them just crack me up so much that I forget the love part and just enjoy the good laughs they bring.

only the best japanese BL mangas, that i consider The Elite

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

Usually these stories have some strong/tw topics/contents, characterized by violence, prostitution and so on.

Among all the BL stories that I've read over the years, these are the ones that really resonated with me. They're full of those moments that just stick with you, with characters you can totally relate to, and stories that linger in your mind long after you finish them.

Each series here provides an exceptional reading journey, combining captivating storytelling with characters that you can't help but root for, creating an immersive experience.

BL manga/manhwa delving into the depths of codependency and/or mutual obsession, portraying love's consuming nature

Boys love (or heavily-implied queer) manga that I would like to see get anime adaptations
