BL Tier List 2.0

Reading chapter 5 while listening to Taylor Swift's "Seven" was a truly heartbreaking yet beautiful experience.

This is a story of two people of opposite worlds, that somehow, through by chance or - if you believe in it - destiny, meet at different stages in their lives; and from that chance encounter they're changed forever. And as the sun shines above Pennsylvania, a straw hat is fluttering in the wind, signaling the end of spring, and the world outside awaits. 5/5

In so many ways, trains kind of symbolize life itself. After all, you ride them with so many other people, who you'll never get to know and who'll get off at one of the stations; never to be seen again. It's crowded yet lonely at the same time. This is a story of fear, that life will always be the same and will trap you in its mundaneness. This is a story of hope, that despite everything, you still have the strength that will help you live on. Almost a masterpiece, really. 5/5

One of the most beautiful BL I've ever read, with the major theme of accepting insecurities and weaknesses in each other and becoming better people as a result. The relationship progression just feels very natural and the way the manga handles Ama's tear fetish is really nice. I honestly love this so much. 5/5

Perfect slice of life, ordinary people BL. All of the interactions from the first time they ever talked to each other to when they finally professed their love were so sweet and charming. All of the panic about having anal sex for the first time was incredibly realistic and relatable. It's rare to see BL manga that just feels this real. Highly recommended. 5/5

Serving that beastiality realness yasss. It's funny tho that the most surprising thing to me was how well this manga did romance story one second and crime-thriller the next. Everything about this manga was STYLE, from the chars, the settings, to the plotlines. Also, that scene where Minsuk dined with his ex and they reminisced about old times was legit one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever read in BL. Just an incredible roller coaster of emotions all the way through. 5/5

The plot structure and themes of this manga might be one the best I've ever seen on any BL? There's just something very touching about the relationship of the two MC and how the story tackled the themes of mortality, depression, and the meaning of life. The story ended with us readers knowing that life doesn't last forever and someday their parting will come. But we also know that they will cherish their time now and be happy together. Love is beautiful guys. 5/5

The only manga I know where it's actually romantic when someone says "I like you as much as I like fish". I chose to read the story as a metaphor for gay sexual awakening. Because you know, realizing that you're gay during puberty kind of feels like being in the ocean. It's overwhelming, horrifying, confusing, and intriguing at the same time. Oh, and also strangely phallic.

Very weird at times, hilarious, and unexpectedly touching. A really pleasant surprise for me. 5/5

Romance between a bookworm and a movie nerd? I feel like this webtoon was made especially for me. Being two people who have passively been reading and watching the stories of others, they obviously have difficulty to express their words, to become stars of their own story. And yet in the end, just as the the actors in the movie kissed and the credit rolled, their story has just newly begun. 5/5

Gosh what a fuckin treat this manhwa was. I couldn't believe after reading the synopsis that the setting of the story would be an idyllic village with a mystery of missing cows lol. The character development here is top notch, the manhwa not only develops the two MCs but also the chars surrounding them which makes them all feel really human. The theme of the story being all about moving on from the past is also really well-depicted. Overall one of the best BL that I've ever read. 5/5

One of the best "Opposites attract" BL stories out there. The characters and relationship development are just top-notch. The art is really pretty and has this calming quality to it. Highly recommended. 5/5
