Tags: Wholesome Boys Love, Wholesome Yaoi, Wholesome Shounen Ai

Sick of city life? Bored of the 'burbs? These Boys Love stories take place in the countryside, forest, remote islands, and quaint little villages.

Tags for searchability: Yaoi, Boys-Love, Shounen-ai, Male/Male Romance, Gay Men, Gay Teenagers

Sometimes it seems everyone wants to throw in the towel and leave the daily grind for a farm or just a countryside life- these characters actually do it.

With gratitude to calucifer for the suggestion of Bokura ga Koi wo Shita no wa.

Manga featuring two heterosexual males becoming romantically involved. Both of the MCs have never dated anyone of the same sex before, though they may or may not have been dating women prior to falling in love with their male romantic interest.

All manga featured involve adults of consenting age or older, no school romances here. Therefore, they are only "gay" when it comes to their partner. No other person will do!

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!

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30435

I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which just... feel... wrong and fetishizing? (I mean, e.g.: Ten Count by Takarai Rihito and almost all works of Kurahashi Tomo) Feel free to let me know if you feel like there is something included in this stack that feels like it shouldn't be here.

(list is arranged mostly by my score)

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

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 healthy dynamics.

Live-action adaptations often leave a bad impression on anyone who has read or watched the source material. Many are even quick to say that they just should never exist. But I beg to differ—these kind of shows helps us look at things in another perspective. WILL your interpretation of [manga] be different if it is acted by people? I don't want to say live-actions are good, in fact I'm still cringing most of the time, but they give fresh air at least.

BL Manga with Live-action Adaptations! is exactly what it says. It specifically includes:
‣ Direct adaptations (said show has been adapted)
‣ Indirect adaptations (manga or novels that were created after the live-action).
‣ If both a manga and a novel are on MAL, the direct adaptation will be the only one added due to the interest stack limit.
‣ Upcoming adaptations

With the rise of BL manga/webtoon adaptations, the interest stack will be outdated at some point. Thus, I'll periodically be updating this during my free time. If I missed something, feel free to contact me here on MAL!

really just my fav bl mangas. please mind that some of these show/bring up triggering topics and/or are nsfw!

queer manga that i really like as a gay man. this isn’t complete - i will add more soon

-Manga that deals with real life problems of gay people.
-Some of the manga in the stack are just fluffy that are portrayed in a more realistic way.

PS: Ao No Flag and Shimanami Tasogare are queer/lgbt themed manga not BL but I still added it here so it could get more recognition.

bls that made me want to cry/made me actually cry (aka the name of the stack is a lie, some of these are very tragic)

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. ^^

Disclaimer: healthy does not mean perfect! Some of these relationships definitely have their issues, but what makes them healthy is their communication and willingness to improve, as well as the fact that the issues are not depicted as acceptable. No r*pe, incest, or toxic age gaps.

Individual descriptions may contain light spoilers.

I plan on reading 100 manga in one month. Manga I will read are on this lists.
