manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL)
My Mom’s a Superstar (GL)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

BL mangas where one of the protagonists is in show business: idol/actor/model, etc...

really just my fav bl mangas. please mind that some of these show/bring up triggering topics and/or are nsfw!

not on MAL:

Walk on Water - 9/10 a complete package of good pacing, writing, art, characters, etc. extremely nsfw tho. tw: rape, porn industry related exploitation

bl manga and manhwa that i've rated 8+/10. we all know a lot of bl is kinda shite so this list had good ones that also have little to no trigger or content warnings but take that with a grain of salt

only the best japanese BL mangas, that i consider The Elite

just the bunch of mangas/manhwas that have healthy relationships / good character development.
theres no toxicity.

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

Work in progress!

collection of BL with love and hate relationships

what to expect from this list ::

≫ haters to lovers storylines
≫ boys who hide their love with hate
≫ rivalries to lovers
≫ competition leading to love
≫ men with competitive personalities
≫ emotionally charged guys
≫ men who are desperate to prove themselves

Here's a stack with titles that start off as either lighthearted/humorous, stereotypical in some ways or a bit generic. But than they turn into complex and memorable stories full of emotion.

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

Work in progress!

say no to school life, office romance, small towns, yakuzas, and idols, say yes to espionage and other unconventional jobs, stories set not in Japan, historical/fantasy settings, and more unconventional stuff (no overly dark stories though)

obviously art is subjective, but these bls have art styles that i think are really pretty! i'm putting one work per mangaka, but obviously if you like their style, you should also check out their other works!

for mangakas where i like their style as a whole, i'll describe their general style and recommend other works, for individual mangas i like the art for, i'll just comment on the manga :)

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

(Mostly) multi-volume bls that will (mostly) reward your patience
