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!

Boys Love/Yaoi/Shounen Ai that will make your head burst with just how weird, disturbing, or messed up they are. If psychological is your go-to or you liked "Killing Stalking" and "Caste Heaven" or any of Harada's works, then you might like this stack. The BL manga in here doesn't necessarily need to have any romance between the leads, so please take note of that.

These are not the only ones that are part of the spectrum. There are also a lot of BL out there that are currently not on MAL. That's why it's not included, just like "Stockholm Syndrome," "Similar Terms," and "Fruit of the Tongue."

P.S. I ended up removing "Chikuhei no Hanayome" or "Orc Bride" because MAL labeled it as hentai and that will result for this stack being viewed only on the hentai page it is linked to.

NOTE: New tag created by Anime Planet on Jun 23, 2024, post announcement : https://www.anime-planet.com/forum/threads/huge-new-batch-of-anime-and-manga-tags-game-elements-human-livestock-cakeverse-and-more.351354/post-2404402

Manga that features twisted characters with toxic behaviors. Some are serious psychological stories that dives deep into toxic behaviors in a way that isn’t glamorized, while others are edgy trash that are just fun to read if you’re in that mood. I’ll tag them as “serious” or “edgy” in the descriptions of each manga.

(If you have any more recommendations, you can comment on my profile and I might give it a read and put it on this list)

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!

From puppy love to twisted minds, Boys' Love has a variety of flavors to choose from, and I'm determined to taste it all!

Join me in diving into different facets of BL by picking one of the titles below!

I tried to compile interesting titles I have yet to read, so these are as much as a surprise to me as it is to you :3

manhwa: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29256

A list of manga titles that I think are fucked up in some way, be it in the psychological sense or in matters of gore/violence. Each title has its own set of trigger warnings, I suggest looking them up on mangaupdates for more detailed tags.

Just so happens many of those men are BL characters.

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

Work in progress!

Once again, I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which feel wrong and/or fetishizing. (Feel free to let me know if you feel like there's an item that shouldn't be on this list, I don't remember some of the stories well since I'm adding some of them to the stack around 6 months after finishing them.)

(PS: More descriptions will be added later on)

(Copy n pasted throughout all my yandere stacks)
This list includes everything from mushy cutesy to ‘oh god I'm on a watchlist now’ so scroll with precaution.

There are two requirements for this list:
-The yandere needs to take up ATLEAST 1/5 screentime (if they don't take up half then ill put this note: yandere is a side character)
-no porn unless its gore or psychological horror

I've checked everything so even if the yandereness doesn't show at first trust that it's coming.

Boys Love mangas for those who prefer sad, messed up stories. Beware of the TWs of each title.

tw! a lot of these mangas contain very dark and nsfw topics like (but not limited to) manipulation, abuse, violence, rape, prostitution, incest, drugs, murder, etc.
