Preferred BL

A list of the yaoi/bl stories that I personally find better/more interesting than others. The couples that I enjoy tend to be (but aren't exclusively) non-stereo-typical in nature. (For example: A stereo-typical uke may be submissive, feminine, and a cry-baby.)

Ringo, Ki Kara Ochiru

 8.3(286 voted)
Complete
Author(s): inutoki,Shouhei
Genre(s): Romance / Slice Of Life / Yaoi

This might flat-out be my favourite yaoi. The story is light-hearted and comedic, and the uke is very charming and silly.

Let Dai

 9.0(214 voted)
Complete
Author(s): Woon Soo-yeon
Genre(s): Drama / Mature / Psychological / School Life / Shounen Ai / Slice Of Life / Tragedy

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.

10 Dance

Ongoing
Author(s): inoue satou
Genre(s): Sports / Shounen Ai

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.

Killing Stalking

Author(s): koogi
Genre(s): Mature / Psychological / Horror / Drama / Webtoons

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.

Fujimi no Meinichi

 9.1(635 voted)
Complete
Author(s): Mushiba
Genre(s): Yaoi / Comedy / Romance

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.

Tonari ni

Author(s): Basso
Genre(s): Shounen Ai

Both main characters are fairly mature in personality, and get along on a more realistic level. This is a nice, comforting bl.

ENNEAD

 9.5(332 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Mojito
Genre(s): Historical / Webtoons / Drama / Fantasy / Action / Yaoi

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

 8.5(754 voted)
Complete
Author(s): Madarame Hiro
Genre(s): School Life / Yaoi

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.

Akiyama-kun

 8.7(517 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): nobara aiko
Genre(s): Drama / Mature / Slice Of Life / Yaoi

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).

My Little Inferno

 8.9(230 voted)
Complete
Author(s): ASADA Nemui
Genre(s): Adult / Yaoi

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!
