Loveless isn't yaoi. Kyuuso wa Chiizu no Yume wo Miru is the best BL manga I've read and I've read a lot.

Boys Next Door and Vassalord, but I guess those are more BL than yaoi.

So hard to settle for just one, but today I would say Mukizu ja irarenee (Can't help getting hurt).

It's rather hardcorish, threesomeish and extra hot with tons of sex, but in the end it is still about love.

Fake was pretty good. It was really BL up until the final volume, but it should still count.
I just thought it was cute and funny~ you have to love the funny.

Hmm, I haven't really read a lot of yaoi I suppose.
Just a lot of wrong shipping with non-yaoi characters. xD

Junjo Romantica wasn't too bad.

Yeah, it's a matter of taste. Three things I like in my yaoi: comedy, oyaji, and salarymen XD. So, in general, I like things by Sakurai Shushushu or Naono Bohra. And Chintsubu, while more BL, wins for cracktastic fun. Yamato Nase was hilarious at last Yaoicon, lol XD
Then again, I do also like pretty things, so the Finder series is interesting to...

Some people are a bit confused--BL isn't equivalent to shounen ai. It's an umbrella term that covers both what is considered yaoi and shounen ai in the English market.

I'll add some of Yoshinaga Fumi's works. Ai to wa Yoru ni Kizuku Mono, Gerard & Jacques, and especially her Antique Bakery doujinshi.. niiice.

No particular title stands out for me, but I love anything from Kano Miyamoto. Ignoring the fact that half of her characters are prostitutes, they at least seem more real than the typical yaoi.

It really depends on what you like, I mean there is really light yaoi, some witty and fun and nice, but then very dramatic, more violent and sexually graphic ones with strong storylines also...just as enjoyable, yet in a different way.

More Dramatic/Graphic Yaoi

1. Midare Somenishi
2. Crimson Spell
3. Wild Rock

(Embracing Love, Kizuna, Wild Rose* My new favorite)

**And definitely 2nd'ing the motion of Ayano Yamane as the best mangaka ever**
(next would be Haruka Minami IMO)

lol, I need to read that.. I'll challenge that call with Flowering. Where else can you find angry, hairy, bellowing, snorting, drooling, minotaur rape? Hot. And that's just the beginning.

But unfortunately for you, those aren't yaoi.

Absolutely agreed! And as for me next in line after those two mangaka would be Youka Nitta, Kazuma Kodaka and Mamiya Oki ( I guess the latter one doesn't fit in this line in terms of more graphic yaoi, but I can't help it ^^")

If not my absolute favourite, The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese by Mizushiro Setona is certainly the best I've ever read, I think. I'll probably change my mind if you give me a couple of hours, but there's an almost bruising quality to TCMDoC, borne out by both art and characters, that kicks it right to the top of my Wow! list.

^ Good taste :D :trolls around your manga list:

Hmm.. another I didn't mention would be something by Takatsuki Noberu. He does mostly BL game illustrations, but has a couple of good manga out. It's interesting that it takes a guy to draw something that hot :)

THESE TWO.

Also, Time Lag by the same artist as Only the Ring Finger Knows.

I tend to read more BL doujin than normal series/one-shots.

I've read over 350 yaoi manga (included a small portion of Dj's but I have another list for them too) and I can personally say my favorites are: Escape Journey (ongoing) , Ten Count (ongoing) and Neon Sign Amber (completed)
They're all smutty and have a storyline unlike Katekyo which is more of a collection of one shots. They also update regularly (every month) and they have the sadostically satisfying appeal - you know that feeling where you just sympathies on such a strong level that your heart feels like it's going to fail.
There are some critics about all three of them but it's up to preference and peoples tolerance

I've moved away from the genre in recent years, but FAKE is still one I can read to this day and love; the characters are just so likeable. I was also a pretty big fan of Junjo Romantica back in the day as well.

Love Neco
For I am a simple woman
If there is a neko boy involved in any way, shape , or form
I will be in love with it instantly

It's also probably the first I've read where I was extremely jealous of the uke.
