manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL, Historical)
I Love Amy (GL, Psychological)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

NSFW series mentions (i’ve been branching out):
Oh! My Assistant (BL romcom, this one is filled with a ton of smut but it has one of the healthiest and sweetest relationships i’ve seen if u can get past the few misunderstanding arcs! and refreshingly realistic lgbt representation)
Exit’s that way! (GL, also filled with smut but still very engaging story-wise, unfortunately discontinued)

These are manga that are super wholesome and sweet!

The primary focus of these tend to be romance, family or other relationships. There may be a subplot, or an occasional serious scene here and there, but the vast majority of the manga is wholesome and adorable!

queer manga that i really like as a gay man. this isn’t complete - i will add more soon

Stories where at least one of the romantic leads has a number of braincells equal to or lesser than one, in the endearing kind of way.

Semi/Realistic depictions of adolescence and high school. Life your best teen days vicariously through these characters!! ☆ ☆

These series are meant to be relatable in some way or another. If a series does not portray an average depiction of high school, then it appeals to the emotional vulnerability that captures most people at this point in life. A few of these can be a tad bit on the dramatic side (i.e. potentially unrealistic to some) but teenagers CAN be dramatic so it felt fitting!

☆ Use list view for tags (T), content warnings (CW), + notes from me (N)

most have lgbt characters, some just have ~the vibes~

also recommended but isn’t on MAL:

Ame ga Shinai Koto: About an aroace woman and her relationships with the people around her.

strong female leads, female friendship, all the good stuff

wholesome, happy titles to read and reread when depressed or exhausted. lots of slice of life, iyashikei, and cute, mindless, fluff

The rare series where no one is toxic, not even the side characters

nice GL manga that felt not as fetishizing from the taste of an ace sapphic :)
basically took out my fav GLs from my enjoyable safe queer manga stack + adding more that won't fit

+ also manhwa, manhua etc. but keeping the title simple

**Exit’s That Way! - is very NSFW + discontinued but still good imo
