The drawing style in BL manga can vary greatly, from more simple and sketchy to very fine and detailed, from more realistic to the typical manga style. This stack contains a selection of BL/Boys Love/Yaoi manga with rather detailed and/or manga-like drawing styles of handsome guys and sex scenes. I'm trying to include only 1 work per artist. If you like the drawing style I recommend checking out their other works as well.

Emotions and feelings are something that is delivered in many BL manga to varying degrees. This stack is a collection of BL manga that are quite emotional, not only in the sense of sad/desperate feelings but also considering the emotions when a bad looking situation gets resolved.

Tags: Emotional Boys Love, Emotional Yaoi, Emotional Shounen Ai

This is a list of manga where the main characters or even all the characters are adults, whether they are college students or workers. Some of these manga have a big age gap (5 years or more) but I only included main characters who are at least 20 years old, which means they can be categorized as adults. Also, there are some series for which I only put the sequels because the main character is still under 20 years old in the prequel.

There are many other manga with adult characters that I've read but these are the ones I enjoy and like the most!

(At first I made this just for my personal list because I prefer lovely stories with adult characters~ but I decided to share in case you also have the same taste as me :))

I'll keep updating this stack! <3

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

Boys love manga where the "Red String of Fate" or "Red Thread of Fate" play a prominent role. This stack only includes BL where the invisible red (or yellow) thread is shown.

Tags: Cord, Connected, Destiny, Destined Lovers, Fate, Fated Lovers, Link, Match, Soulmates

bestest bois of the best - mostly catered towards the semes ❤️
this stack also doubles as my fav BLs that i would recommend <:


note: as with most yaoi plots, characters (usually the semes) often start off toxic and may even remain so throughout the whole story. hence i've given my personal reasons for why they made this list and included a part to mention if they are complete green flags 🟢, red flags 🔴, or if they started out red and became green, so it's easier to choose which ones to avoid if for example you really can't stand non-con stuff. but seeing as this is a list of my best BL boys, most of them are gonna be green flags hehe

also, won't include "romance" or "smut" in the tags because 99% of the list has them

❤️ Lee Wooyeon (seme) x Choi Inseop (uke)
• red or green flag seme?: a red flag that’s on par with yoon seungho from POTN. he gets better once he stops being in denial of his feelings towards inseop but he’s so mentally unstable that i could never say he's a green flag
• wooyeon is literally a diagnosed psychopath so...
• his obsession with inseop is on the next level and he truly goes insane and has full on psychotic breakdowns without him
• it’s actually very heartbreaking to see how often wooyeon loses his mind and does the craziest things because of inseop. the guy needs to be checked into a mental institution fr
• i'm mainly putting this title in this list because i love inseop so much ): he just keeps getting taken advantage of by mentally unstable people and i wish i could protect him from all of it!!! he is too kind and sweet for this cruel world!!!
• tags: yandere seme, psychological, angst, drama, hella non-con

• my heart goes out to seo-an because i understand what it feels like to struggle with panic disorder as well
• when woowon said "everybody hurts sometimes. there's nothing to be sorry about.", best believe i cried
• woowon's insecurities and heartbreaking inner monologues always make me so sad because it's so relatable
• they are just two hurt souls healing each other ): i wish that i could take all their pain away
• easily one of my all-time favourite BL manhwas; this story and its dialogues are so well written!! paired with the beautiful art?? 10/10
• tags: poor!seme x rich!uke, drama, angst, psychological, tw!domestic abuse


Willow Love Story [버드나무 로맨스] - manhwa; 9/10
❤️ Lee Reok (seme) x Han Sangyul (uke)
• red or green flag seme?: green flag prince <3
• reok, you heaven sent perfection of an alpha prince!!!
• he was just the kindest man from the very beginning; even when he first approached sangyul with hidden intentions, he never once treated him with any disrespect and he was always so patient and gentle towards him
• sangyul my precious little cinnamon roll ;-; he most definitely deserves all the love and affection reok relentlessly showers him with

Taming the Tiger [눈에 범이 서리다] - manhwa; 10/10
❤️ Beom (seme) x Ahn Geumhu (uke)

• fair warning - prepare to cry your eyes out
• our beautiful beommie only kills to protect his beloved lord. other than that, he's just a quiet giant who only seeks to stay by geumhu's side forever
• like even when they're doing it rough in bed, beom absolutely refuses to let geumhu be in pain, even if geumhu asks for it. BEOM COULDN'T BE MORE OF A GREEN FLAG EVEN IF HE TRIED
• they both would kill for each other; a murderous couple that kills together, stays together~

Dear.Door [디어 도어] - manhwa; 9/10
❤️ Cain (seme) x Do Kyungjoon (uke)
• red or green flag seme?: kinda sus in the beginning since he's a demon lord after all, but he ends up being the greenest green flag ever!!
• FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE SMUT IN THIS IS INSANE. the uncensored version almost gave me a nosebleed what the heck it's so intense
• tbh i put this one off for a long time because the art style is very seinen-action manhwa type which is not my fav but if you already love it then you'll love this, and if you don't, here's me telling you to give it a chance, you won't regret it
• the plot's great, the relationship between the characters are great, the romance/smut is great, i actually don't have any complaints other than the art style not being my fav but that's a personal preference thing bc the art IS good
• the relationship between cain and kyungjoon will be one of the sweetest and most passionate things you'll ever see
• cain literally be the kind of antihero that's like, the world can burn for all i care, if kyungjoon isn't it. but as long as the love of my life lives on this planet, i'll fight till my death to protect it

• also all the side couples are super cute i love them
