Tags: Wholesome Boys Love, Wholesome Yaoi, Wholesome Shounen Ai

manga with queer relationships and minimal to no sexual content that i found likeable + felt not as fetishizing as most others
(not that there's anything wrong w sexual content but it's hard to find stuff in these genres that aren't mostly written for the smut)

stack created by a sex-repulsed biro ace :)

+ manhwa, webtoon, novels, etc. but it's easier to keep the title simple lol

honourable mentions not on MAL:
Fugue Across Worlds (GL)
My Mom’s a Superstar (GL)
The Best Smell/ The Scent of You (BL)
The Story About You x Me (BL)
Robber x Lover (BL)
Adding You to My Cart (webtoon with MLM charas)

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)

queer manga that i really like as a gay man. this isn’t complete - i will add more soon

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. ^^

Disclaimer: healthy does not mean perfect! Some of these relationships definitely have their issues, but what makes them healthy is their communication and willingness to improve, as well as the fact that the issues are not depicted as acceptable. No r*pe, incest, or toxic age gaps.

Individual descriptions may contain light spoilers.

This is my compilation of shoujo and josei series that I think could maybe, possibly get an anime. We've been getting a lot lately and I wanna see what guesses I make turn out to be correct.

I do not include manhwa in this stack anymore because I am not knowledgeable enough about it (though I do feel like Abandoned Empress will get an anime at some point...).

Correct Predictions:
- Mr. Villain's Day Off
- A Condition Called Love
- A Sign of Affection
- 7th Time Loop
- Dahlia in Bloom
- Nina the Starry Bride
- Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You
- Honey Lemon Soda
- Tamon's B-Side
- The Holy Grail of Eris

Series not on MAL that I think have a chance to get anime:
-Oni no Hanayome (LN and manga)

NOTE: Revamping the list for 2025 <3
