"The BL" in Adult Life
Manga
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

One of the main characters was underage in the prequel (though he would turn 20 not long after).

This manga consists of 3 different stories with two of them being oneshots and one being the main story (which has 2 chapters). Put aside the second story where the characters are still underage, the first and last story are two of the best BL short stories I've ever read.

I honestly wanted to include the prequel here but I wasn't sure about their ages so I'll just include the sequel. (Prequel: Tsuki to Taiyou)

While putting this on my list, I thought to myself that this is neither a lovely story nor a story that relies on atmosphere. So why did I put it here?
To be honest, I didn't really feel comfortable while reading this especially in the early chapters because of the things I mentioned earlier, but I liked how they healed each other and themselves while moving towards a resolution that was best for both of them. And what surprised me the most was that as uncomfortable as I was with some of the scenes, I found myself able to enjoy the story until the end because I felt connected to one of the main characters. Stories like this really hurt and heal me at the same time. I seriously hated and loved every bit of it.

The sequel felt more intimate and lovely. Everything felt genuine and natural... I realized that I wanted myself to have a good ending like them. Therefore, I gave a higher score because this is something that I wish for (both for the story and for myself).
Nyaaaw, why did I make this note so melancholic? If you're interested then please read this, you might understand what I've been talking about. Hihi~
