Manga & Manhua & Manhwa + novels in the bl drama or psychological category that are AMAZING reads. I would highly recommend all of these.

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

(Sex sometimes included!)

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

Hopefully this stack helps someone find something to read~

I’ve read a lot of boys love and most tend to blend together—these do not. These mangas leave a lasting impression because of one or more of the following qualities:

- compelling/effective and detailed/vivid ART; bonus of distinctiveness in style
- evocative, dynamic, intelligible COMPOSITION
- impactful/cinematic, fluid PANELLING
- gorgeous CHARACTER ART (in terms of physical appearance only); bonus of memorable or iconic character DESIGN
- naturalistic, non-sentimental DIALOGUE
- thoughtful CHARACTERISATION resulting in believable or relatable/multidimensional/complex characters who can exist and are interesting as individuals outside of the romance
- CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT that’s natural, reflected in character action/interiority, and are depicted in depth
- interesting character RELATIONSHIPS that are well-developed, grounded and complex, and/or with bonds that can be felt; irresistible character chemistry
- compelling, creative, coherent (visual) STORYTELLING in which narrative techniques are used deftly to develop the story and its elements
- THEMES are woven into the narrative and are explored in depth and with nuance to provoke thought/give deeper insight or different perspective into a topic

Stack notes:
- Listed for each entry are the notable qualities as described above that distinguish the manga

Sequel to my Great 1-Volume-Only Manga Series stack.

A bit trickier to complete and curate, but I am somewhat satisfied with the end result.

the cutest and wholesome bl manga I've read :3
it has yaoi

bl manga where characters don't know each other from the start, and meet in the title
