A small challenge to broaden your horizons. Get out of your comfort zone and try some good mangas from different demographics in their popular genres, but a little different than what you probably expect.

Completed and short titles.

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.

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

Manga that has been mentioned by Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch). Most of the stuff here was found on his Twitter, but a few are from interviews.

Work in progress!

This BL stack is only the best of the best. We are talking plot > smut. There is definitely smut in this stack, but a good plot, good art and good characterization will be at the forefront here. All of these manga have cannon queer characters and relationships. No “ships.”

Manga that I consider to at least one great panel/page

Plus:
