A selection of BL themed manga with unique perspectives, art styles and dynamics, from high school romances to horror and science fiction.

I picked them based on the following criteria:
- The main character is in love with a man (not necessarily requited or fulfilled)
- The emotional beats are deeply tied to an homoerotic relationship
- The author is already known for writing BL

I'm being generous with what I call BL #imsorry. I have my own list to go through so I'll keep adding after careful consideration ^_−☆

The order is from shortest to longest more or less. Enjoy!

Just a list of the one-shot or single omnibus releases in English of Shojo and Josei stories. Companies include Viz, Vertical Comics, Yen Press, Seven seas, Denpa, Kodansha, Fantagraphics, Star Fruit Books, Dark Horse, Digital Manga Publishing, and ADV manga. There are several that Tokyopop licensed as one-shots or single omnibi, but I ran out of room so I didn't include them on this list.

*I ran out of room to include these works:

- Living the Line's "The Girl Who Raised the Dead" (https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/the-girl-who-raised-the-dead)
- My Boss is a Giant Omnibus
- Horrors of Noroi Michiru
- Makeup is Not (just) magic
- Wonder House of Horrors
- Hide and Seek (Yoshiko Naono)

This is a list of all the Shojo and Josei manga Dark Horse Comics has ever published. Notably, certain titles have seen their licenses change hands before or after publication, so titles like Card Captor Sakura will have been both published by Dark Horse, even while previously being published by Tokyopop and then currently by Kodansha USA. It's a bit difficult to find the older licensed titles from the 2000s due to how long ago it was and the iffy UI of the Dark Horse website/poor archive ability of it, but I've done my best.

I tried to portray different types of occupation, from the average Japanese salaryman to the mountain rescuer and the soldier. They don't all have an opinion on the structure of work under capitalism, but they are witnesses to it. I haven't concentrated on manga whose theme is the career or passion of its protagonist, which will be the subject of another stack.
I haven't read all the mangas, so don't hesitate to point out any errors.

The Shojo/Josei magazines these BL manga come from include:

Feel Young, B's Log comic, comic Gene, flowers, petit flower, kurofune zero, comic zero sum, rinka, Judy, Hertz, web spica, kiss, Genzo, office you, comic Itan, zero sum ward, betsuma, betsufure, ichiraci, aria, melody, sho-comi, palcy, comic avarus, asuka, hana to yume, pixiv Sylph, gene pixiv, Lala, wings, betsucomi, be-love, margaret, elegance eve, Dessert, love coffre magic, comic qurie, betsuhana, cheese!, and princess
