This might flat-out be my favourite yaoi. The story is light-hearted and comedic, and the uke is very charming and silly.
The tone for Let Dai is some-what serious, and the couple can be incredibly toxic at many points throughout the story. Still, a very interesting read, and probably one of the best bl out there. The leads have sort of an angsty Romeo and Juliet thing going on.
*Non-con, abuse.
Ongoing! Beautifully drawn, and an inspiring look at competitive dance. The relationship between the main characters, and the storyline, are both very interesting. This bl is a bit more on the serious side. Dancer x Dancer.
Serious. Stalker uke x psychopath seme. Non-con, abuse, murder, kidnapping, etc. You've almost certainly heard of this one. The storyline is a bit higher standard than your typical yaoi manga, which is definitely a contributing factor to it's mainstream popularity.
A light-hearted bl comedy. A confident (and sometimes irrational) businessman falls in love with an unnaturally tough (equally as irrational) young man who enjoys fighting.
Both main characters are fairly mature in personality, and get along on a more realistic level. This is a nice, comforting bl.
Ongoing! Kind of a serious tone here. I really like Seth, the mc. Especially in the first season. Although, the story and characters have been much less intriguing so far with season two.
I recommend reading the first season.
*There's non-con, incest, and murder. It's to be expected with Egyptian deities tbh.
*Spoiler, and not to be insensitive, but Seth gets r@ped so often that it has begun to lose impact.
Deity Uncle x Nephew (It's complicated, okay?)
Kawaii Akuma is over-all light-hearted and comedic, but does contain some very obvious non-consensual acts in the beginning. The uke is taller than the seme for the first half or so of the manga.
It says ongoing, but the main story is essentially over. This is another light-hearted yaoi. It contains a tall and popular uke, who could be considered more masculine than the seme (simp-boy).
This one kind of flip-flops between a serious and light-hearted tone. There's some attempted non-con at the start, and the uke is a bit of a cry-baby- although I believe that his crying can be justified here. Also, the uke is small. Like, small enough that I had to make a comment about it.
Asada is an excellent author for anybody interested in psychological bl!
