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

Stories that feature people who have liberal/unusual jobs or study more specific subjects (like botany, art, etc).

A very big range of workplace/study settings, going from patisseries, to hairdressing salons, dental clinics, greenhouses and more ✨

I guarantee (by my own standards haha) that they’re good and have healthy dynamics.

Manga I would consider LGBT rather than a specific genre like BL or GL. I also included lesser-known stories I enjoyed that had LGBT characters whose identities are not made to be major plot points.

I'll continue to update this as I find more!

manga with less than ten chapters - which are not oneshots

all manga listed are of various genres, please check genre/theme/demographic tags before reading :]

(i've only included ones i *personally* enjoyed + from my list)

if you have any recs , feel free to send them my way

happy reading 🫶

Some BL manga and manhwa I liked a lot! No particular order. Does NOT include LGBT autobiographies, gag comedies/parodies, or stories with gay vibes that aren't technically BL.

My taste may not be the same as yours; read with appropriate discretion.

Good and great manga available on Manga Planet BL selecionar (futekyia) for those who can support the authors through the membership and read in official sources ✨

Ngl there’s a lot of manga that are not my cup of tea there, but I want to show you my favorite ones in their library.
(even if you already read one of them and liked it, iif you can pay for a bit to support the authors it’s great as well)

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)

BL where at least one of the main characters is out to themselves/others as queer or gay.

Work in progress!

More non-binary characters in manga. Some are headcanons- those are indicated by question marks.

! alphabetically ordered !

Sadness in various levels, from "a little bit teary eyed" to "absolutely bawling my eyes out". Some happy tears, some heartbreakingly tragic.

Most of the series are completed, from different genres and themes, not in any particular order.

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:
Bokura ni Namae wo Tsukerunara
Okubyou na Dear
Choukyou Joushi

Yaoi/BL manga that are cute and I would personally recommend. Will add more as I read more.

Seen the anime, haven't read the manga yet (but when I do I'll add it to this list):
Given (though this one can be very sad too)
Sasaki to Miyano

1. communication is the key
2. consent is sexy!!!
