CERTIFIED FRESH BL's

Beautifully beautifully drawn with a rich story that changes with the characters. Amazing use of the visual medium to show the beauty of music, romance, and obsession. There really isn't a BL quite like this in recent memory, but I recommend reading Oshimi Shuzo works if you enjoyed the visual metaphors and Blue Giant & Kids on the Slope for intense men playing instruments. Please license this in English so I can buy the volumes.

Technically not "BL" but I am an Oshimi Shuzo stan, he's the ultimate psychological goat and I love scary sex that ruins people.

I'm so glad to have lived in the timeline where Tezuka made a masterpiece yaoi.

As someone who doesn't gravitate to omegaverse, this is a fresh & fascinating take on it. I love the depiction of terrible relationship dynamics and the consequences. A smart reflection of the way internalized misogyny manifests. It's also frying me that ABO has reproduced heteronormative society to the degree where there's now Straight Yaoi (Alpha & Omega) and Gay Yaoi (Omega & Omega)

You think it starts a certain way and then it grips you by the seat of your pants and all you can do is hold on for the ride.

At the time, there weren't as many BL that incorporated realistic aspects of gay hookup culture, so this really stood out to me. I enjoyed the communication between the leads and the dynamic leads to genuinely funny moments, and they seem like real people. Read if you're looking for something comedic and wholesome.
