This stack contains BL stories that are not filled with lots of drama, toxic relationships and other problematic themes, but instead focus on relationships that are healthy and feel good.

Tags: Boys Love Healthy Relationships, BL Healthy Relationships, Yaoi Healthy Relationships, Shounen Ai Healthy Relationships

BL manga where the couple is either already together from the start of the listed database entry or gets together quickly. The main focus of the manga is on the couple being in an established relationship. Can have a domestic theme or not. If a sequel is listed here, then the prequel doesn't show the characters in an established relationship. In these cases it's recommended to read the prequel first to see the two characters getting together.

(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

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

This is a list of manga that cover heavy and emotional topics like anxiety, disability, depression, and suicide. Blanket content warning applies.

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

-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.

Manga & Manhua & Manhwa + novels in the bl drama or psychological category that are AMAZING reads. I would highly recommend all of these.

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. ^^

rather than fall into generic execution, these BL utilize the typical settings, character traits and sentiments to morph them into stories that embrace visceral emotions of the human heart.

romance manga that I've liked, I'm a bit picky but these all got me invested

Most are +18! I like them all a lot! Some other ones I recommend that are not on MAL are:
- Assorted Wildness
- Cherry Blossoms After Winter
- Checkmate
- Low Tide in Twilight

no boredom, just vibes

The rare series where no one is toxic, not even the side characters

mangas with an inclusive portrayal of love that seems realistic and won't make you cringe

(some contain mature topics, BL, GL)
