Shounen ai/Yaoi/Boys Love manga in which there is at least one catboy (usually one of the main characters)

Feel free to message me and let me know of any titles I am missing :3

Looking for quality BL but don't want to wade through a mountain of mediocre crap to find it? Then this is the list for you! A combination of 1st place award winners, #1 bestsellers and other BL manga that received top accolades between the years 2015-2019. Some manga pre-date this time frame but are included if they won an award or topped a list during one of these years. The cream of the yaoi crop!

These Boys Love series feature guys who turn into cats (or cats who turn into guys). Includes big cats like lions and tigers, as well as shape-shifting cat youkai. If you're looking for some fluffy feline adorableness with your BL, this is the list for you!

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!)

Maybe it's how expressive their ears get, or how strong and assertion they can be, but there's just something about beastmen in BL that make them irresistable. Here are some favorites, ranging from hot to hoooooooot and from sweet to heartmelting. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
