❤️ BEST BL BOYS!!! ❤️
Manga
bestest bois of the best - mostly catered towards the semes ❤️
this stack also doubles as my fav BLs that i would recommend <:
note: as with most yaoi plots, characters (usually the semes) often start off toxic and may even remain so throughout the whole story. hence i've given my personal reasons for why they made this list and included a part to mention if they are complete green flags 🟢, red flags 🔴, or if they started out red and became green, so it's easier to choose which ones to avoid if for example you really can't stand non-con stuff. but seeing as this is a list of my best BL boys, most of them are gonna be green flags hehe
also, won't include "romance" or "smut" in the tags because 99% of the list has them

• his obsession with inseop is on the next level and he truly goes insane and has full on psychotic breakdowns without him

❤️ Theodorus Delambre (seme) x Ishikawa Umehiko (uke)
red or green flag seme?: starts out non-con but he never actually puts it in (if yk what i mean) without the uke's consent, so he's not a complete red flag. i'd say he's a... questionable red flag at the start and becomes a complete green flag later on
• theo starts out cold and indifferent, but as the story unravels, it shows the reason why he keeps to himself and shuts everyone else out
• he is clumsy with his words, he shows his love more through acts of service and physical affection
• i loved seeing his character growth, he is so precious!!!
• also very pretty boi hehe

❤️ Kang Dooshik (seme) x Jin Jooha (uke)
red or green flag seme?: green flag! he has his own set of toxic traits and can be overly possessive and protective over the uke but it's for valid reasons considering the uke's situation.
• ...dooshik really brings out the side of me that just wants to be a damsel in distress to be doted on and protected
• i especially love characters who are willing to kill to protect the ones they love and dooshik is exactly that
• jooha really goes through a ton of abuse in this story, not for the faint hearted. i know how dooshik feels bc i also just wanna put him in my pocket and keep him safe forever
• side note: lemme just say the art vastly improves over the course of the whole story!!! loved seeing the artist's impressive growth while reading <3
tags: much drama and angst, hella non-con* (not bc of the seme), gangster stuff, psychological
*fr the only bad reviews i've seen is ppl dropping the series bc of how much trauma the uke goes through

• ok if this were irl i'd say kurose needs to get his therapist license revoked
• BUT in the world of fiction, i'd let that man manipulate me anytime
• kurose calling shirotani "good boy" makes me scream everytime- shirotani's got a praising kink and yk what, ME TOO

red or green flag seme?: uhhhhh... questionable red flag i guess? he isn't terrible towards the uke, just saw him as someone he could use. but he did do a lot for the uke. he gets better towards the end
• veeery slow burn, barely any romance in this one
• jaehyuk is your average tall, dark haired, handsome ceo character with the cold, calculative personality

red or green flag seme?: red flags but in the way that red is my favourite colour. red flags but if good red flags were a thing.
• let me explain my red flag rating lmao, matthew is a yandere in the sense that he will kill anyone to get to jin and protect him, but he would never hurt jin if he could help it
• so the reason i say good red flag is bc he's not like seungho from painter of the night bc seungho is a yandere who repeatedly hurt his partner on purpose
• matthew would be willing to literally die for jin
• the story is rather dark but matthew and jin find solace and a safe place in each other

• plus he never forces himself on euijoon, always gets his permission first before doing anything- proving that it's indeed manly to ask for consent bc if this buff gangster man can do it then there's no excuses
• the rated notti notti scenes aside, their romance is actually so pure and sweet! made me cry
• after all his years in this cold, heartless industry, gunwoo has become so jaded and void of feeling anything but euijoon is the one who brought colour back into his life, and is the only person who could make him nervous or even shy T-T

red or green flag seme?: red but he gets better (like in painter of the night)
• tbh jaeshin reminds me a lot of yoon seungho from POTN and i definitely am not the first to see the similarities but somehow jaeshin is a lot more attractive to me than seungho is
• jaeshin really is one HOT ASS MOTHERFUCKER i blush just at the sight of him

❤ Kwon Hyeryang (seme) x Lee Yeonjo (uke)
red or green flag seme?: red but he gets better
• tbh both hyeryang and yeonjo are red flags- regardless of their back stories and reasons for their actions, they're both manipulating each other and their relationship started out toxic
• revenge plot, enemies to lovers trope, yummy yummy delicious slow burn
• kwon hyeryang may be a merciless killing machine but he'd let his little lover boy riddle his body with bite/scratch marks any day :>
• and he'll let yeonjo threaten to kill him as much as he wants, it doesn't bother him. but if yeonjo threatens to harm himself instead, that's when hyeryang takes it seriously
tags: historical, non-con, enemies to lovers, drama, possessive seme (yet to be seen if he's a yandere, series still ongoing)

❤️ Hyo-Un (seme) x Yoo Taehyuk (uke)
red or green flag seme?: questionable green flag
• hyo-un would be fully green if not for his obsessiveness over taehyuk- but also because of his backstory, i fully understand why he ended up as possessive/overly protective as he is over him
• he is just a giant buff crybaby dragon boy who wants to live a peaceful life with the love of his life!!!
• and taehyuk is the kindest soul )):
• they both didn't deserve all the tragedy they had to suffer through in their past </3
tags: modern + historical/korean period era, reincarnation, fantasy, dragon!seme, so much angst and drama

❤️ Yeo Taeju (seme) x Kim Euihyun (uke)
red or green flag seme?: hella red at first but he does redeem himself a lil bit later on
• seme falls first and continues to fall harder and harder
• i love the uke so much in this one ): i wish i could protect euihyun from everything he had to suffer through
• taeju is toxic af but his personality is so playful, cocky and flirty, it's hard to hate him
• he easily became one of my fav semes after he redeems himself
• he pays extra attention to all the smallest details about euihyun, gets easily jealous and possessive over him; he behaves a bit like a rabid guard dog with how protective he gets lmao i love it
• also i'm very attracted to the bloodthirsty side of him lmao
• and i love that taeju is like a giant scary gangster man but he constantly lets euihyun beat him up
• there's a part of the story about peeled persimmons being an act of love and it reminds me of the orange peel theory T-T
tags: mostly dub-con in the first half, omegaverse, borderline yandere seme, drama, angst, tw!suicidal thoughts, psychological
