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.

Dancing, ice-skating, gymnastics and so on.

The first poll organized by AnimeJapan to know which manga would people like to see animated. Only the top 10 were publicly announced.

BL Manga that tell a rich, memorable story. Carefully curated to be easy to recommend to non-BL fans.

BL, like all manga categories, has a specific brand of tropes and genre-specific bullshit that most fans learn to tolerate. That makes it hard to introduce new people to the genre.

These are manga that aren't just 'two men are hot and in love' (not that there's anything wrong with that). All these titles are incredible stories in their own right, with compelling plots that are worth discussing. They're the kinds of BL I would show someone to express why I love the genre, and maybe persuade them to dip their toes into it.

Every series has listed the closest adjacent genre(s) to help personalize recommendations according to taste. Some have erotica in them (but it's usually relevant to the story or fairly light/earned after a fair amount of narrative buildup).


Criteria for appearing on this list:
-An interesting story that you could actually talk about (Bonus points for cool world-building, fantastic art, or other factors that would rocket it's popularity if the story was in a more popular genre).
-The main lead's relationship with his male love interest is Significant, as well as Explicitly Canon.
-A fairly low level of common BL tropes (to make it more palatable to non-BL fans).
-It doesn't suck.

BL I’ve completed and enjoyed reading. All of these manga are stuff I have reread multiple times. There are some manga on here with dubious consent so if that triggers you make sure to keep an eye out so that when you go to read it you aren’t blindsided. I hope you find something new to read! These are not even half of the BL manga that I’ve read so I will probably end up making more parts of this. (Working of Explanations!)

manga serialized in seinen magazines by female mangaka, as well as non-binary mangaka.

very much based on my personal tastes, everything here has a larger story and plot, as well as depth of character. some may have romance and smut. most are rather dark.

work in progress, feel free to send me recs!

If it’s a sports manga or webtoon, it’s in this. Doesn’t matter if it’s yaoi, got a romance plot line, or is just heavily sports related, I’ve got it here. Hopefully, you guys will find something you haven’t read on here. Enjoy! (Still working on writing all of the explanations)

Any manga where the main plotline revolves around dance.

This list includes all types of dance, from break dance, ballet, ballroom dancing, ice dance, to modern dance.

Note: I did not include titles that revolve around gymnastics, idols, cheerleading, or acting, as they do not feature dancing as the main theme. I also did not include titles that were excessively explicit, or titles I couldn't find any information about. I also included some manwha and manhua from MAL's database.

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