what to expect from this list ::

≫ high school, classroom and clubroom settings
≫ classmates and students (no teachers or authoritative figures)
≫ boys in school uniform
≫ dormmates and private school dormitories

The absolute creme of the crop, in terms of physical attractiveness.

Stack notes:
- Characters are male in sex and (mostly) masculine in gender expression
- Applicable character(s) listed for each manga
- Contains BL (boys love)

Mangas with compelling visual elements that together give the mangas a cinematic feel which I think would make for incredible anime, aesthetically-speaking.

The ingredients these mangas have for stunning anime:
- captivating and thorough CHARACTER DESIGN resulting in iconic characters (visual attractiveness a strong bonus for me)
- rich, detailed illustrations to create atmospheric/immersive SETTING
- stylised, vivid/realistic, detailed but polished ART with a degree of distinctiveness in style
- compelling, dynamic COMPOSITION and/or creative, evocative and fluid PANELLING that make the manga read like watching a film

Stack notes:
- While the mangas have to varying degrees all the listed qualities, I note for each work the “notable” aka its most outstanding quality that makes it cinematic
- I’ve read, am reading, or PTR but have looked through parts of (denoted by “initial impression”) the listed mangas; stack will be updated accordingly
- Includes unadapted and adapted works; adaptations themselves are irrelevant as they don’t affect the mangas’ quality

part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39068

Little or no red flags, violence, or cruelty.
(Mostly cute works)

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): in this list you will find usually sweet, fluffy and heartwarming stories, anyway with not too much drama.
HIGH SCHOOL --> I'm doing a similar stack for college students

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.
