Uchi no Musuko wa Tabun Gay addpermalink

Both are wholesome stories that surround a parental figure slowly unlearning their subconscious biases against LGBT+, while becoming more aware of the microaggressions they've often overlooked, through the empathy for their own LGBT+ family member.

Ao no Flag addpermalink

Did you hate Ao no Flag horribly rushed ending arc? Do you want something much nicer pace and deals with being gay in Japan with a much more delicate and profound touch? Then do I have a recommendation for you.
Otouto no Otto is the perfect homophoic introspection story, there is no annoying sense of being overdramatic, it handles all of its subject matters carefully and it does it in a very concise manner. Firstly, this story's situation setting is goddamn a work of genius, it allows for a perfectly melancholic tone which the author makes sure to never drive too far from. It never becomes overly dramatic, overly happy, nothing because the whole manga is about acceptance and regret. The main MC that is the dad goes through honestly one of the most smooth, well paced character arcs of all time, being slow to realize his shortcomings of how he thinks of other people. He is constantly reflecting throughout the book about all the situations past and future that he might have to deal with when it comes to gays and I think that's fantastic. After reading the trashfire ending that was Ao no Flag’s story this was a nice needed refreshment of the subject matter. It handles the topic of Japan's tendency towards negative stereotyping very well and makes sure to always treat it very delicately. I highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a good yaoi read that's not even really about yaoi, it's short, sweet and beautifully melancholic. It has a great bittersweet ending and more than deserves its praise so give it a read if you haven’t read more

Neither BL nor Bara, these are slice of life manga about gay characters running in seinen magazines. Catering to a straight male readership unaware of LGBT issues, they're realistic and don't contain any graphic scenes.

Shimanami Tasogare addpermalink

Both of these stories are lovely! They're about family and overcoming prejudice. I like them because I think they're good representation to queer people. I can imagine a gay person reading either of these stories and feeling a little comforted by either. I think that's what I really appreciate about them. I'm very grateful to stories like these. Plus they're both a bit literary in their symbolism and art I guess? idk if that's the right word for it. But visual metaphors and that kind of stuff if that's your jam.

Manga: Chichi to Hige-Gorilla to Watashi

Chichi to Hige-Gorilla to Watashi addpermalink

Main character is a widowed man with a mischievous young daughter. Wholesome, domestic slice-of-life story

Bokura no Shikisai addpermalink

Made by the same author and has the same themes, albeit with lighthearted highschool stuff.

Both mangas feature a single father with a cute and energetic little girl. The themes are different but there's similitudes in the tone and pacing.

Welcome to Room #305! addpermalink

Both series deal with LGBT+ issues through slice of life stories with a protagonist (slightly homophobic straight guy) who realizes that gay stereotypes are harmful and false after living with a chill gay man.

They both tackle LGBT themes and the perception of them from the japanese society, as well as how the families and childrens involved handle it.

Manga: Sabishisugite Lesbian Fuuzoku ni Ikimashita Report

Sabishisugite Lesbian Fuuzoku ni Ikimashita Report addpermalink

Sabishi is more about the inner struggles of the female protagonist. It's based on her real-life experiences, is much darker because of it. Not even close to Yaoi or Bara but if you enjoyed the  psychological/sociological aspects of Otouto you'll love this too.
