manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL, Historical)
I Love Amy (GL, Psychological)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

Hello, it's me again with another list of BL stories! This time I made it by including young characters aka under 20 years old but NOT a shota. If you want to see the adult version of the list, kindly check this out: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10877
(or you can visit my profile and see the stack "The BL" in Adult Life)

So... I've read quite a lot of BL stories where the characters are underage, but these are the ones I enjoyed and liked the most because they have so much flavor in them. It just tastes like an orange, you know? Sweet, sour, a little bit astringent and bitter yet fresh. Love in youth does taste like that~

That's also the reason why I didn't put titles with slightly heavy topics/themes (Hidamari ga Kikoeru Series, Given, Hana wa Saku ka, Boy Meets Maria, Paradise View, etc) because they have something more than just love and youth. And that doesn't fit my stack concept. I still love them all very much, though!

Anyways, I'll keep updating this stack ♡

[WARNING! Some of the stories here have erotica tag which means it has sexual stuff. I will provide descriptions so that you can avoid them if you feel uncomfortable with such scenes :) thank you~]

BL Manga adapted to Drama or Movie

Boys love (or heavily-implied queer) manga that I would like to see get anime adaptations



Wishlist entries that came true:

The Summer Hikaru Died
Ganbare Nakamura-kun

All titles published in English (print) by Yen Press/Ize Press.
https://yenpress.com/genres?category=manga&genre=lgbtq&subgenre=boys-love

BLs that (in my opinion) deviate from typical BL tropes that can be rather unpleasant, nonsensical, or even flat-out problematic

The criteria being:
Believable romance development and natural chemistry
Healthy relationships characterized by mutual respect, consent (!), and proper communication
Likeable characters
No unnecessary/frustrating conflict or drama

Most of these are sfw or milder on the explicit content unless otherwise stated just because of personal preference!

bless ur eyes lads
