really just my fav bl mangas. please mind that some of these show/bring up triggering topics and/or are nsfw!

not on MAL:

Walk on Water - 9/10 a complete package of good pacing, writing, art, characters, etc. extremely nsfw tho. tw: rape, porn industry related exploitation

Stories that feature people who have liberal/unusual jobs or study more specific subjects (like botany, art, etc).

A very big range of workplace/study settings, going from patisseries, to hairdressing salons, dental clinics, greenhouses and more ✨

I guarantee (by my own standards haha) that they’re good and have a healthy dynamic

-Manga that deals with real life problems of gay people.
-Some of the manga in the stack are just fluffy that are portrayed in a more realistic way.

PS: Ao No Flag and Shimanami Tasogare are queer/lgbt themed manga not BL but I still added it here so it could get more recognition.

Here I will collect all the stories that starts with an already established couple - so the steps of flirting/chase/falling in love etc. are usually skipped and we have the chance to see more about the course and the progress of their love story. Reason why there might be several sequels, I will note it down in that case, so you can read first the original story.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56334
Are you tired of starting a BL story, super excited and than a f*cking r*pe/sexual assault happens for no reason? and after that, like it was nothing, a relationship begins? like wtf?
(i'm not against the representation r*pe/sexual assault per se, since it does happens in real life, but i'm DEFINITELY against the romanticization of those things in general, and especially in BL, since many stories portrays as something "normal" or even *trying not to throw up* "romantic". these are serious topics and should receive proper treatment when showed on media. this is especially sad considering the stigma that gay man/queer people have of been predators).
I'm also tired!
Unfortunately, i had to find these cute, healthy stories the hard way: trial and error.
so here are some of the BLs that i've enjoyed, some are fluffy and cute, some have a little spice (erotica) but always in a healthy, consensual way. ^^

rather than fall into generic execution, these BL utilize the typical settings, character traits and sentiments to morph them into stories that embrace visceral emotions of the human heart.

BL manga featuring bisexual men.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Most of the titles are NSFW.

Not found on MAL: Itoshii Kimi to no Shoya Jijou(2021), Dorama ni Naranai Bokura no Hanashi(2022), Usotsuki Shousetsuka to Unmei no Hito(2022)

Stuff that I think could use more love! :3 mostly cute, and wholesome relationships here, perhaps some light angst here and there

will update as i read more. feel free to comment on my profile if you have any recs :3

Whether the content is good or bad, it doesn't matter. The covers are just pretty to look at.

This stack features series with an established romance between the main couple from the get go. I focused this stack on standalone rather than sequels, DJs and collection of short stories.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.

Work in progress!

aka bl mangas where the characters are adults who have somewhat realistic lives, responsibilities, and jobs

Bawled my eyes out reading these, but that's why they're excellent. Some of them are truly tragic, but some are happy tears inducing (up to you to figure out which is which!).

Note, for BL of the Dead Anthology (collection of oneshots): I am specifically talking about Chapter 8.

Mangas published from 2020 onwards.

I read the first chapters of all of them, some I like and others I don't, but hey, variety is the joy.

Basically the same as part 1, but the requirements are less demanding. Clarify, they are not lists for a specific audience. There is something for everyone.

I will gradually catch up with all the mangas on the list to see if I remove them or not, I'm not going to be picky. This list is not about my tastes, it is with love from me to you, Mr. and Mrs. strangers.

Finally, there is everything here, yuri, yaoi, ecchi, not ecchi. The only thing I won't put will be NTR and all its variants so liked by our Japanese friends.

Top 10 "BEST COMIC" (volumen) in 2021 by chil-chil.net.

Sadness in various levels, from "a little bit teary eyed" to "absolutely bawling my eyes out". Some happy tears, some heartbreakingly tragic.

Most of the series are completed, from different genres and themes, not in any particular order.
