I’ve been reading BL for 10 years now, so I really needed a compilation of good works with young-adult/university students.
All mangas here have great art (if not amazing) and I only added the stories to which I gave a score 8 or higher ✨

This is a list of manga where the main characters or even all the characters are adults, whether they are college students or workers. Some of these manga have a big age gap (5 years or more) but I only included main characters who are at least 20 years old, which means they can be categorized as adults. Also, there are some series for which I only put the sequels because the main character is still under 20 years old in the prequel.

There are many other manga with adult characters that I've read but these are the ones I enjoy and like the most!

(At first I made this just for my personal list because I prefer lovely stories with adult characters~ but I decided to share in case you also have the same taste as me :))

I'll keep updating this stack! <3

Are you tired of starting a BL story, super excited and than a f*cking r*pe/sexual assault happens for no reason? and after that, like it was nothing, a relationship begins? like wtf?
(i'm not against the representation r*pe/sexual assault per se, since it does happens in real life, but i'm DEFINITELY against the romanticization of those things in general, and especially in BL, since many stories portrays as something "normal" or even *trying not to throw up* "romantic". these are serious topics and should receive proper treatment when showed on media. this is especially sad considering the stigma that gay man/queer people have of been predators).
I'm also tired!
Unfortunately, i had to find these cute, healthy stories the hard way: trial and error.
so here are some of the BLs that i've enjoyed, some are fluffy and cute, some have a little spice (erotica) but always in a healthy, consensual way. ^^

Florida, Missouri, and Wisconsin Libraries!

If you're looking for more than simple fluff and classic twist and want a story that will stay with you for a long time after you're done reading, these are for you. Not to worry, these aren't dark dramas, they have their own kind of happy ending, but it's not with a carefree light heart.
I've only listed the reads that even though they really got to me, they were still beautiful stories. Each one of these titles gripped my heart and made me feel more than the usual BLs. Whether it be a character or the storyline, my mind kept going back to it, even several other reads afterwards.

what to expect from this list ::

≫ pretty ukes with glasses
≫ typically uptight/stoic personalities
≫ some tops with glasses

I’ve read a lot of boys love and most tend to blend together—these do not. These mangas leave a lasting impression because of one or more of the following qualities:

- compelling/effective and detailed/vivid ART; bonus of distinctiveness in style
- evocative, dynamic, intelligible COMPOSITION
- impactful/cinematic, fluid PANELLING
- gorgeous CHARACTER ART (in terms of physical appearance only); bonus of memorable or iconic character DESIGN
- naturalistic, non-sentimental DIALOGUE
- thoughtful CHARACTERISATION resulting in believable or relatable/multidimensional/complex characters who can exist and are interesting as individuals outside of the romance
- CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT that’s natural, reflected in character action/interiority, and are depicted in depth
- interesting character RELATIONSHIPS that are well-developed, grounded and complex, and/or with bonds that can be felt; irresistible character chemistry
- compelling, creative, coherent (visual) STORYTELLING in which narrative techniques are used deftly to develop the story and its elements
- THEMES are woven into the narrative and are explored in depth and with nuance to provoke thought/give deeper insight or different perspective into a topic

Stack notes:
- Listed for each entry are the notable qualities as described above that distinguish the manga

THE ANGST before they realize each other's feelings is what give me life 😩🤌
