retro BL/BL-adjacent

i wanted to create a more comprehensive list despite the fact there’s very few out there. 
ranges from 60s-70s-80s and some from the 90s. BL-adjacent is manga that’ve influenced the genre, they’re not necessarily queer but pretty homoerotic nonetheless.
 - BL
 - BL-A
also, fair warning, some of these are graphic in content and/or just have tragic endings as a whole. keep that in mind!
