Hello all. I'm looking for something new to read and would like to hear some of your best recommendations. If you could please list a couple of your favourite BL manga, I would really appreciate it. I know this may seem an odd request but I'm in dire need of something new to read.

What I'm mostly looking for is something really memorable, the kind of manga you keep rereading even though you know all the lines of the dialogue already! Please, nothing too shoujo-ish 🙁

It's okay if it's underrated too. Actually, if it's something too well-known, there's a big chance I've read it already 🤣

I'm fine with incest, horror, slice of life, fantasy, anything except shota, please!

Just tell me your favourite BL and why.
Thank you 😳

It's the Art of Time, it's the Art of Life--
Of the player and the craftsman,
Of the writer of songs, of the creator of love,
Of those who will follow, of those who led,
There's no other way in the world ahead ♥

Aaah I have so many favorites, it's always hard narrowing them all down to a small list but I'll try my best. Also, I'm afraid many of the ones I like are pretty popular. Just tell me if you've read them.
Here we go:

Mirai no Kioku-----It's pretty much a classic yaoi, you've probably read or at least heard of it. It's one I never get tired of rereading. Down-to-earth, real and lovable characters, great humor. What's not to like?

Ai no Kotodama-----Another sweet and down-to-earth story collection. It's not perfect but way above average and the main story is amazing (imo). Also, one of the stories is told from a female's perspective and it's very good. How often do you get that in yaoi?

Literally anything by Yamada Yugi. I'm not even kidding. Even her weaker works are still above many other yaoi. My personal favorites are Aiso Tsukashi and Saigo no Door wo Shimero.

Me o Tojite 3-Byou------A story that's been told many times, childhood friends fall in love and all that, but this mangaka tells it in quite a distinct way and the characters are great.

Dousaibou Seibutsu------My very first BL manga and I've never forgotten it. Make sure to read this mangaka's other shounen-ai works too, if you haven't already.

I have sooo many more but I'll stop for now. Hope you find something from here!

Honto Yajuu is probably my favorite current running BL. I'm also a sucker for yakuza/delinquent series, which brings me too...

Usagi Otoko Tora Otoko Ugh, so cute! I really love the size difference here as well.

Rutta to Kodama Is kind of delinquent-y, but more so adorable. I think the characters develop a lot in this series, given the length. I like re-reading this one.

I also loooove anything by Ogawa Chise, even though her series can get pretty dark. Caste Heaven is amazing imo, and I'm actually more interested with the second couple's story that's being told right now, which is unusual for me because usually I care more about the primary.

For just smutty stuff, I like Brand-new Star a lot. I really enjoy the art, and I also like cross-dressing.

Psyche Delico is another more smutty artist I like, and I think most people like her Choco Strawberry Vanilla series, my favorite is Eroman - Kami to Pen to Sex to!!.

Shinjuku Lucky Hole Another fun smutty one, but really I just enjoy this art style. It's very unique for BL, imo!

Gotta give a mention to Ten Count for being a great plot centric AND smutty series.

I really like BL with unusual or strange plots, so stories like Kigurumi Planet and Count. While not an unusual plot, I'm including Hoppe ni Himawari here because of how rare it is to see cute, chubby love interests (that don't magically lose weight)!!

I could go on, but I'll stop here for now haha : P

Acid Town is by far one of my favorite shounen ai stories it's really raw and unlike most stories in the genre.

Most of Ishihara Satoru's stories. The uke is 100% a man, nothing feminine at all about him when it comes to looks, personality, like and dislikes, etc., and there's enough symbolic language and double meanings behind the conversations that you have to pay attention to every single word the characters (and not just the MC's, either) are saying.

Golden Days -- This is shoujo, and the BL is mostly unrequited, but awesome nonetheless. Realistic, touching, and full of all kinds of different relationships (not all of them romantic), each as important as the other.

Loveless, Silver Diamond, Koori no Mamono no Monogatari -- Plot-biased and long. Though the latter two are, in fact, shoujo + BL.

Yami no Kodou and Mirage of Blaze (Novel) -- Plot-heavy.

Makeinu no Nandemoya -- For making me actually think about the worth of my own life. Also, the cast is immensely entertaining.

Yep!! Everyone's gotta admit that Acid town is a great BL manga. The plot is great and the twists are amazing. Everyone should at least try it out. Other mangas by the same mangaka are also good.
