Not a big fan of fetish BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai but I realized that I've read some that has it... accidentally. Most of them are really good to read, fun, but sometimes just utterly weird. I will also be putting the fetish/es that are included in the description of each of the manga/hwa that are in here.

**PLEASE NOTE I AM WORKING ON PT.2 BUT WILL TAKE TIME TO AMASS TITLES THAT FIT** - Jan 5, 2026

I've got a soft spot for the rough and tough looking men and your everyday-looking Joes. Or sometimes it's just an actual older manly looking fellow. The real world isn't always full of pretty boys.
There won't be much bara here as it's not generally my jam. I find it to be way too western looking, or the characters are just too big on the page lol.
Nearly 100% chance of sex included, just a heads up.


As with all my lists, this is continuously updated as I read and find material that fits this content.

Boy's Love stories where we can find the main characters living with kids (or taking care of them). The kids can be part of their family or simply interacting with them as neighbors or in the childcare and so on.
They are usually very fluffy and heart-warming stories.

Among all the BL stories that I've read over the years, these are the ones that really resonated with me. They're full of those moments that just stick with you, with characters you can totally relate to, and stories that linger in your mind long after you finish them.

Each series here provides an exceptional reading journey, combining captivating storytelling with characters that you can't help but root for, creating an immersive experience.

There's an anime/manga magazine in Finland called "Anime". I personally read it for ten years but stopped during 2020 bc I didn't like the magazines new look etc but that's not the point.

Over the years this magazine has recommended all shorts of manga/anime so just out of boredom, I decided to check all of the LGBT manga reviews that has gotten "green light" or 5/5 aka are highly recommended to read. I'm mainly adding series that are yaoi/yuri or has really strong LGBT themes, so no just a random series with one lgbt side character. (I check if the series have the tag etc or if the series have heavy lgbt+ related themes)

I'm only adding the entries that I can find from the magazines I have :)

How many have you read?
