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~]

A selection of BL themed manga with unique perspectives, art styles and dynamics, from high school romances to horror and science fiction.

I picked them based on the following criteria:
- The main character is in love with a man (not necessarily requited or fulfilled)
- The emotional beats are deeply tied to an homoerotic relationship
- The author is already known for writing BL

I'm being generous with what I call BL #imsorry. I have my own list to go through so I'll keep adding after careful consideration ^_−☆

The order is from shortest to longest more or less. Enjoy!

Good quality BL manga

Queer Manga published by Tokyopop.


side note: Cardcaptor Sakura is now published through Kodansha.

Bl where the couple starts out as best friends/childhood friends already. They usually have extreme ‘friendly’ intimacy even before they confess. Often side characters will be surprised if they’re not together and even when they’re apart they often can’t shut up about each other.

Their arcs are usually either 1 of them already being in love and trying to hide it/confess, or abt both of them slowly realising they've always been in love.

Childhood friends who’ve fallen out/lost contact or aren’t very close are excluded. Mostly excluding smut-heavy ones bc they're not the right vibe for what I'm looking for (also excludes sequels, for space)

Robber x Lover (BL) - 8/10 (95/95 chapters: Complete) (same author as Merry Marbling)

I actually surprised myself by how many BL I could include since I really read mostly GL nowadays. Then again, most of these are a single volume so...

not including ones i didnt like or havent finished
