-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.

BL where at least one of the main characters is out to themselves/others as queer or gay.

Work in progress!

aka bl mangas where the characters are adults who have somewhat realistic lives, responsibilities, and jobs

Among all the BL stories that I've read over the years, these are the ones that really resonated with me. They're full of those moments that just stick with you, with characters you can totally relate to, and stories that linger in your mind long after you finish them.

Each series here provides an exceptional reading journey, combining captivating storytelling with characters that you can't help but root for, creating an immersive experience.

The manga itself may or may not revolve around vehicles, but they contain vehicles (cars, bikes/bicycles, trains, motorcycles, airplanes, mopeds, etc.) on the cover. This is here to help anyone who wants to check this off for the MRC 2024.
