The setting of a historical manga takes place at some point in Earth's past. The level of dedication to portraying the lifestyles, societies, and technologies of past periods and peoples accurately or believably can vary greatly between different works.

These manga feature royalty: members of a royal family such as King, Queen, Prince, or Princess.

just the bunch of mangas/manhwas that have healthy relationships / good character development.
theres no toxicity.

These BL feature foreigners from exotic lands, or have an exotic aesthetic with unique costumes, tattoos, or other things reminiscent of foreign cultures and faraway places.

say no to school life, office romance, small towns, yakuzas, and idols, say yes to espionage and other unconventional jobs, stories set not in Japan, historical/fantasy settings, and more unconventional stuff (no overly dark stories though)

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

a curation of my favorite boys' love manga cover art, regardless of the story

As the title says, I'll try to keep track of all the omegaverse stories I've read so far, might skip some titles I didn't like at all!
What is Omegaverse? It is usually a subgenre of BL - I say usually because it happens to be also some straight or GL stories of this type. I'll list some tropes you can usually find in these stories, but keep in mind that it is not always like that, authors like to vary as they should, so you might find some works with total opposite stuff.
In this universe people have also a secondary genre, so they can be divided in three categories: alpha, beta, and omega. Betas pretty much share the characteristics of "normal" people, instead alpha and omega have some really unique traits.
Alphas are usually depicted as the elite people, strong, charismatic, rich, at the top of society, desidered by everyone; Omegas are present in a very small percentage of the population, they are often depicted as weak, fragile, exploited by many, and both female and male omegas can conceive, while both male and female alphas can impregnate omegas; they are affected by pheromones, about this there are so many theories that I'll just skip. Omegas have periods of heat, during which they release strong pheromones in order to attract alphas, it's a very delicate state where they can be vulnerable and lose reason to instinct. Alphas as well can enter a period of rut, they become more aggressive and lose control towards an omega. Moreover, an alpha and an omega can share a very special bond, they can be bound for life by becoming mates with the alpha biting the neck of the omega, this way the omega will be affected only by his alpha's pheromones.
