so much bad bl out there. fortunately for you, i’ve gone on a mission to scrub through a bunch of them, and came out with quite a few actually good ones that care about consent and don’t portray mlm as sexual objects for your consumption! here’s a curated collection of my favs (rated 7 or higher)

ongoing non-mal titles
don’t say you love me: 8/10

completed non-mal titles
my way with you: 9/10
the third ending: 7/10
the keystone romantic combination: 7/10
watch out for the dream demon: 8/10
the pizza delivery man and the gold palace: 8/10

This is the third part of the One Volume Manga you can read for your reading challenge.
In Germany, there is a saying, which means that short things are the best.
If you made it so far, you must like short manga just as much as I do.
I try to collect as many manga as possible that are only one volume long.
Please check the genres before reading!

- Note: I haven't read every single one of them. It's a small collection for those who love short manga.

Mangas from different genres and demographies that will most likely leave a mark on you. Rich stories with strong characters and themes, sometimes uplifting, sometimes tragic, but stories worth telling. Beware of the TWs, lots of the mangas presented here contain delicate subjects

miserable stories that have an underlying/overtly romantic homosexual relationship between one or more characters

Whether the content is good or bad, it doesn't matter. The covers are just pretty to look at.

some of the manga have aroace characters too

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

Plus:
Cherry Blossoms After Winter ✔
Third Ending ✔
Love So Pure
Speak of the Devil
Max Mojave's Case
Honey Trouble
Terminal Lucidity (doujinshi) ✔

I have not read everything in here! Some might be wrong.

BL mangas that imo have beautiful, splendid and captivating art, whether in the official art, cover and chapters.

obviously art is subjective, but these bls have art styles that i think are really pretty! i'm putting one work per mangaka, but obviously if you like their style, you should also check out their other works!

for mangakas where i like their style as a whole, i'll describe their general style and recommend other works, for individual mangas i like the art for, i'll just comment on the manga :)

(this stack is arranged from more 'conventional' manga art styles to more 'unconventional' styles)

doesn't really reflect quality of the story at all, just really pretty cover art

Practically all are completed- except around 2 bc they’re that good.
Wide range of genres and topics sort of organized together by their topic/subtopics and similarities.
Does not include other mangas by these authors so if you enjoy them check out the authors! Most are not problematic and have other really good stories, my fav authors are on my profile!
Free from SA and other such topics (unless it is for the plot and will be stated).

Missing stories: 10 years I loved you the most, the story about you x me, salad days, not for the faint of heart, spring snow, keep holding on, summer scent, 11:59 manga, the spooky love tale of gongchan seol.
