Good BDSM Depictions

A loving, grounded-in-reality take on a master-servant relationship from their meeting to sharing their day-to-day lives. It's one of those very rare gems where the two leads get equal time sharing the POV spotlight. Sam and Sam are both adorable trying to navigate the blurring lines between their D/s and romantic relationship.

This is like THE classic intro to BDSM for manga readers.

Oneshot. BDSM. A female student with a penchant for sadistic violence develops a relationship with her English cram teacher with submissive tendencies.

Warning for gore.

Oneshot. BL. Couple are in an established relationship that regularly do kinky sex. They try a new kink: edge play.

GL. S&M. Adorable classmates with the masochist Moe confessing to her tsundere queen, Yuuka-sama.

Covers all aspects of BDSM and the LGBT spectrum. Heed the drama genre.

A positive portrayal of a woman who's not vilified for enjoying her kinks and sex.

Content warning: Noah's storyline with his family is an on-going sexual abuse. Off-screen dub-con with Nayeon (Peach Puff).

BL. BDSM and humiliation play. Tobita and Masumi are college classmates who get into plays that escalate in danger. There's some hints that Tobita may be in the spectrum, so it takes a toll on their relationship when you see that Tobita's ways of expressing his feelings don't come across to Masumi (he's the dom and new to BDSM--and needed aftercare very badly). It's a bit of a painful read, but them finally having a deeper relationship at the end is worth it.

BL. Heejae's preference for bondage and discipline in the bedroom, where all acts are explained honestly and executed carefully, is unlike how he is outside of it. He manipulates people and feelings without their consent, playing them against each other just because he's bored. This is the story of the consequences of his actions.

BL. Shibari and humiliation play. A good look into the head of a guy who wishes to be dominated and trying to work through his fetishes and feelings.

BL. BDSM. An almost quintessential look into the lives of 3 gay couples who are leather men and belong to a single BDSM group. Note that this is set in New York and there is definitely a sense that the author is trying for realism pervading the whole manga. Heed the drama genre.
