This stack is a collection of BL/Boys Love/Yaoi manga (tagged with "Erotica") which are done after 1 volume and don't continue in further sequels, spin-offs or other related series. Listed here are only manga where one story fills out the entire volume. Manga with included one-shots that have nothing to do with the main story as well as collections of several short stories are excluded.

Tags: 1 volume boys love, 1 volume BL

Emotions and feelings are something that is delivered in many BL manga to varying degrees. This stack is a collection of BL manga that are quite emotional, not only in the sense of sad/desperate feelings but also considering the emotions when a bad looking situation gets resolved.

Tags: Emotional Boys Love, Emotional Yaoi, Emotional Shounen Ai

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.

Do you want to read as many manga as possible?
Do you want to read manga of different genres?
I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

I’ve read a lot of boys love and most tend to blend together—these do not. These mangas leave a lasting impression because of one or more of the following qualities:

- compelling/effective and detailed/vivid ART; bonus of distinctiveness in style
- evocative, dynamic, intelligible COMPOSITION
- impactful/cinematic, fluid PANELLING
- gorgeous CHARACTER ART (in terms of physical appearance only); bonus of memorable or iconic character DESIGN
- naturalistic, non-sentimental DIALOGUE
- thoughtful CHARACTERISATION resulting in believable or relatable/multidimensional/complex characters who can exist and are interesting as individuals outside of the romance
- CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT that’s natural, reflected in character action/interiority, and are depicted in depth
- interesting character RELATIONSHIPS that are well-developed, grounded and complex, and/or with bonds that can be felt; irresistible character chemistry
- compelling, creative, coherent (visual) STORYTELLING in which narrative techniques are used deftly to develop the story and its elements
- THEMES are woven into the narrative and are explored in depth and with nuance to provoke thought/give deeper insight or different perspective into a topic

Stack notes:
- Listed for each entry are the notable qualities as described above that distinguish the manga

The Taisho era spanned from 1912 to 1926, a period of modernization for Japan. This period combines Japanese traditional culture with early 20th century Western culture.

This is my go-to list for historical/period BL manga/manhwa. I love stories that capture the vibe of different eras and offer a solid dose of timeless romance.

The stories in this list unfold against historical backdrops, with characters facing their own time-specific struggles. It's a solid collection for fellow historical romance enjoyers.

Manga/manhwa titles that heavily emphasize mood, atmosphere, and ambiance in their storytelling and artwork.

Focuses on manga and realistic/grounded portrayals of time periods. So no manhwa, danmei and stories with supernatural elements.

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

Work in progress!
