Manga in which the story revolves around one or more characters that have made or are making a life-changing alteration to themselves, either physically or mentally.

--fat -> thin
--ugly -> sexy
--nerdy -> popular
--delinquent/outlaw -> normal citizen
--normal citizen -> idol

ETC ETC ETC .. I know there are an infinite number of ways to change yourself as a person. The ones listed are just what I am aware of as a common trope for manga character development.

If there are any manga missing or you would like to add please feel free to message me, thanks!

Stories that feature people who have liberal/unusual jobs or study more specific subjects (like botany, art, etc).

A very big range of workplace/study settings, going from patisseries, to hairdressing salons, dental clinics, greenhouses and more ✨

I guarantee (by my own standards haha) that they’re good and have a healthy dynamic

Includes a variety of: High school/ classmates/ student x student/ senpai x kouhai BL.
･The majority of them are completed but some may be ongoing series.
･Manhwas and manhuas will be excluded since many are not in the database.
･Disclaimer: Multiple story mangas have many tags so at least one or more of the stories will fall into this category. >.<
Hopefully this stack helps someone find something to read~

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.
