Wholesome magical realism and supernatural BL
Manga
Wholesome (NSFW marked) BL manga for spooky season and beyond!
Wholesome to me means that there is a sweetness and kindness in the relationships, good consent when there is NSFW content, and that the relationships aren't toxic.
non-MAL titles:
- Spiritpact/Soul Contract/Ling Qi - CW: violence, child abuse
- Ireon Ending/This Ending
- Crescent Scholar - equal parts NSFW and wholesome
- 11:59
Work in progress

Volume 1 is a pretty good standalone, volume 2 is more NSFW in a way I didn't like as much near the end and I wouldn't include it as a wholesome recommendation.
