Trying to avoid major racist stereotypes of non-Japanese poc partners in yaoi, focus is on relationships involving Two Men Of Color rooted in reality, no fantasy races/cultures. Half white mixed characters are okay if some aspect of that heritage plays a role in the story This will not be a conclusive list just whatever I like and see that seems reasonable/respectful enough for what it is There will possibly be stories with dubious consent(or worse) so take caution Always taking recs
Genre(s): Webtoons / Shounen ai / Historical / Mystery /
This story is a mystery and has fantastical elements, however it is set in a real historical context and real life cultures/nationalities. Reading on lezh!n for free, chapters are messed up here
Korean/Japanese Set in Historical(potentially period accurate racism, as it is set during a time of colonization/war) Korea, a young Korean boy is paid to read to a Japanese boy who lives in the mysterious Tachibana manor
You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.
For anyone wondering about including white/european heritages, I decided to have some leeway because I kept getting recommended stories with fully white characters as a main character or love interest or both (which I will not accept any of those whatsoever). Mixed japanese people are still poc but I did add that the partially white heritage has to actually be a relevant part of the story. I do plan in the future to number/move the list where the white heritages are so that people who don’t want to read those are fine to avoid them. Unfortunately what I’m looking for seems to be very niche, open to any recommendations to lengthen and improve my list
