Discrimination towards the uke as he has a stuttering problem. I like the fact that the author included slight bias from the seme even after they were in love. The seme kept asking the uke to improve his stuttering issue as he thinks the uke is not giving his best.
Disability discrimination
Uke was being bullied for being gay, since then he has trouble making friends. In the end he managed to open up to one of his close friend and get accepted. Several chapters where there are homophobic harassment from a university senior towards the couple.
Bullied due to homophobia, bi seme, pansexual side character
Both couples are studying in an American university. Characters are made-up of Korean-Americans and Korean international students
First couple was really sweet, seme liked uke(his older bro's friend)on first sight and they slowly fell in love.
Second couple is the older bro's story with his old friend. This couple is more angsty and a little bit toxic... But it covers things like religion, homophobia, racism and sexual assault.
Homophobia due to religion, racism, sexual assault.
Autistic seme represent! The uke is so understanding and both of them complete each other. The seme was misunderstood and was often alienated when he was young. He seems to be really lonely in adulthood as well and probably not really welcomed by his family.
Discrimination due to autism, policies regarding gay marriages
In the beginning it talks about how the uke's inferiority hurt their relationship. Later on, it touched on workplace bullying and isolation due to them being gay.
High school and workplace bullying due to homophobia, failure of workplace equality laws
Vampire seme saved uke from his abusive ex. Ex is a closeted homophobic that abuses the uke from being gay due to hatred towards his father running away with another man.
Closet homophobia, bullied by classmates due to homophobia
An uplifting story where the main character accepted himself despite his homophobic high-school classmates! A must read! Especially if you like plants as well
Bi seme, bullied due to homophobia
Story took place in 1922, uke is a mixed blood who is constantly bullied because of his hair and eye color in Japan. With only the seme being kind to him, he fell in love. However, aside from the wars and natural disasters, the couple also have to deal with their families and the society at that period.
Racism, Family expectations
Uke is discriminated for his small eyes. Seme was an asshole in the beginning, he ignored the uke for fear of his own attraction towards the uke in middle school. Since the seme is popular, all the classmates followed his example and gang up against the uke. Some even abuse him physically. The seme regrets his action and decided to atone for his mistakes and also admit his love for the uke in university.
Bullied due to facial features, finding your own sexuality
Originally straight chaebol kidnaps a gay money launderer to generate cash for him so he can leave his family business. Even with a series of dating history with women, he found out he might be gay as he never felt right with his previous dates.
Light homophobia, finding your sexuality

Hi~ I read this list to find a manga that i don't remember the name of. I was wondering if someone could help me pleasee ╥﹏╥
It was about students, one of them is gay and transferred schools, the other one once was liked by his friend and made it into a joke then that friend attempted suicide. When they meet each other the last student I mentioned tries to make up for what he did in the past with this new student that is gay and kissed him.
After reading the list again I saw that the manga I was looking for is the second in this list

Hey! These are my type of yaois. You can also add Gusari works here. He's working on DJs but i guess what fits on the this list are specifically the kono machi series. Just sharing but thanks again for putting up this list!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Heeey! I just want to say thank youuuu for this list <3 <3
(I think I put almost all the mangas in my list "want to read" x) ) I was "desperatly" searching for good yaoi I didn't know, and when I say "good" I think "realistic" ^^... so I'm glad I crossed upon your way ahaha!
And so, now I'm here, maybe I can give you some suggestions :D
- Dining bar Akira (about two collegues, and the one who is confessed is struggeling with the fact that the other is younger AND a guy ^^ ; it's a "feel-good" manga I think ^^ (really funny!), and even the drawings are quite realistic!)
- Raiatea (the seme is a native from an island lost in the Pacific, who had to leave in America, and was discriminated... to the point he discriminated himself, and is feeling so guilty about the fact he left his family, etc... And the uke is a photographer who is loosing his sight, haunted by a young man he met a loooong time ago... - This manga is really, really, beautiful <3 It's a poem. (the drawings are just gorgeous <3 and the text also) I think it totally fits your list!)
- Only you, only (just thinking about this one is bringing me tears ^^' If you want a homo-love-sexual story in Japan, how it can be difficult there, etc... then you read this one ^^; and of course, the drawings are... <3<3<3)
Voilà! :D
Thank youuu
Oo la la... Mercii! I must've missed your comment. Will check out your recommendations!
Hello! You can also read ao no flag. I think it fits here.
Ooo thank you for the suggestion! I will check it out
Sorry I forgot. It is not BL. It is more of slice of life. But it is worthy to try.
hey! I don't know if this is here already but it fits the list very well.
