Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30435

I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which just... feel... wrong and fetishizing? (I mean, e.g.: Ten Count by Takarai Rihito and almost all works of Kurahashi Tomo) Feel free to let me know if you feel like there is something included in this stack that feels like it shouldn't be here.

(list is arranged mostly by my score)

Hello, it's me again with another list of BL stories! This time I made it by including young characters aka under 20 years old but NOT a shota. If you want to see the adult version of the list, kindly check this out: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10877
(or you can visit my profile and see the stack "The BL" in Adult Life)

So... I've read quite a lot of BL stories where the characters are underage, but these are the ones I enjoyed and liked the most because they have so much flavor in them. It just tastes like an orange, you know? Sweet, sour, a little bit astringent and bitter yet fresh. Love in youth does taste like that~

That's also the reason why I didn't put titles with slightly heavy topics/themes (Hidamari ga Kikoeru Series, Given, Hana wa Saku ka, Boy Meets Maria, Paradise View, etc) because they have something more than just love and youth. And that doesn't fit my stack concept. I still love them all very much, though!

Anyways, I'll keep updating this stack ♡

[WARNING! Some of the stories here have erotica tag which means it has sexual stuff. I will provide descriptions so that you can avoid them if you feel uncomfortable with such scenes :) thank you~]

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
koganeiro (Takuma Yokota)


Next set: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34673
Previous Set: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34671

Wholesome (NSFW marked) BL manga for spooky season and beyond!

Wholesome to me means that there is a sweetness and kindness in the relationships, good consent when there is NSFW content, and that the relationships aren't toxic.

non-MAL titles:

- Spiritpact/Soul Contract/Ling Qi - CW: violence, child abuse
- Ireon Ending/This Ending
- Crescent Scholar - equal parts NSFW and wholesome
- 11:59

Work in progress

Practically all are completed- except around 2 bc they’re that good.
Wide range of genres and topics sort of organized together by their topic/subtopics and similarities.
Does not include other mangas by these authors so if you enjoy them check out the authors! Most are not problematic and have other really good stories, my fav authors are on my profile!
Free from SA and other such topics (unless it is for the plot and will be stated).

Missing stories: 10 years I loved you the most, the story about you x me, salad days, not for the faint of heart, spring snow, keep holding on, summer scent, 11:59 manga, the spooky love tale of gongchan seol.

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

bless ur eyes lads

Without anything sad, upsetting, hurtful, or over-the-top drama. Wholesome romance for a pleasant read. Only the happy stuff!

All relationships shown are healthy ones, unless specifically stated.

(Sex sometimes included!)

I only add materials I have completely read! So this list always updates as I continue to read.

I'll add some works that i couldn't find here on MAL


The Scent of You by Lee Manse (COMPLETE): An absolute 10 out of 10, i couldn't even guess this was this author's debut from how good this is, the best BL manhwa ever T.T super sweet and every character feels alive. (Available on Manta)

The Hunter's Gonna Lay Low by Baek Sam/Magma & Li Gong(ONGOING): Out of other stories with similar premises this is the best one, but you are going to cry (The Manhwa is on Manta and the novel is on Tapas)(NOW ON MAL)

Robber x Lover by PENGKI(Same author as Merry Marbling) (COMPLETE): This story is ADORABLE, it has comedy and i love the way they communicate, the couple is really cute. (Available on Lezhin)

There Are No Bad Dogs in the World by Tirano Kim(Same author as About Desire) (COMPLETE): A direct spin-off of All about Desire, this one is kinda messy but the way the relationship develops feels super realistic, even the misunderstandings doesn't feel like just an excuse to create the drama but as a natural development of the story. Super funny and cute (Available on Tapas Website)

Spinach Bouquet + Side Story(ADULT EDITION) by TERRA: This is not another teenage drama, is THE teenage drama. It's bitter, it's sweet, it's funny and very lovely (Available on Lenzhin) (NOW ON MAL!)

Best Deep are chosen from works that have "depth." This generally includes works that take on more complex issues and aren't just fluff or smut.

Missing:
Bara to Hedoro
Kirai, Daikirai, Ashiteru.
Ookii Koake to Chiisai Takeda
Hatsukoi ga Kiba wo Muku

For the badge-based item entries in the yearly Manga Reading Challenge. As there is an entire decade's worth of MRC events with a myriad of badges provided by various talented artists, this will be a multipart stack. All series are marked with their respective first badge year.

Note: If you don't see a title from a specific badge in a given year here, it's either in a previous part or I failed to find the source for it. My apologies if it's the latter.

why do gay people end up so happy meanwhile my fellow queer women are all in perpetual agony over that one girl they can't get over from high school because society decided to be homophobic for any senseless reason

anw here are mlm mangas i like most / mlm mangas that are so beautifully written i wish men were real

listed by favorites from yours truly

because my only drive to still be attracted to men (or butches) is this one character i fell for when i was 10

if it doesn't make sense to you, it's ok bcs it makes sense to ME.


& if you see a title and thought "huh? THIS character reminds you of AKASHI?" hold your horses i will deliberate through my delusions

each mangas act as placeholders for the rest of their respective authors' works.
