Ojisans need more love!! Ideally the characters would all be in their 40+, but since there aren't as many of those, I've set the minimum age to be included to 35~

Ages included in the description of each entry if I saw it mentioned in the manga! (maybe not on the ones where it's been a while since I read it lol)

Purposefully left out ones that I didn't like so much, but those are tagged with "oyaji" in my manga list if you want the full list~

BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai manga are fiction but some hit too close to home for how realistic the situation, environment, and/or characters they have. Because of this, they tend to be on the mature side and tackles the situations that people in same sex relationships experiences in real life.

Here's a stack with titles that start off as either lighthearted/humorous, stereotypical in some ways or a bit generic. But than they turn into complex and memorable stories full of emotion.

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

Work in progress!

There's just something unique about a love story with an age gap between the MLs. Innocence meets experience, it can sometimes represent a new beginning for someone who had lost hope, or bring light, laughter and happiness. Whatever the plot, whether it be hilarious or angsty, it definitely adds an additional layer to BL love stories.

Some drama adaptations may not have been released yet, but most of them have already been, or at least had a release date announced.
