good BL, no rape between MCs + trigger warning (part 1)

A list of BL works I enjoyed reading

- no rape between main characters
- consent is priority
- non-abusive & non-heteronormative relationship
- some contain dub-con scenes but I'll make sure to put TW
- ongoing works that turn out problematic will be deleted
- depends on my personal preference

☆ = fave

I'm actually still screaming while writing this. Man, the amount of heartache this manhwa gave me. I didn't expect it to be this beautiful and heartbreaking. It'll definitely stay with me for a long time.

The original novel is honest to god one of the greatest coming of age works i've ever read. It's complex and heart-wrenching, but also funny, tender, and so hopeful. I can't describe how much love i have for these characters, and seeing them in manhua form is totally an amazing experience. Read the novel: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/saye/

What can a LIST do?

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.

Oh my god. Our Sunny Days was listed in this so I decided to take a peek at this list but all of them are too emotional I cant- Although I'll keep this list in mind when Im ready to face emotional mangas. Im still not ready because I know these will get stuck in my head and I wont be able to focus on my studies.

Really? I think if you scroll a bit you'd find a lot of rom-coms and slice of lifes tho ^^;; but thanks for checking!

Among the sea of shit glorifying rape and toxic relationships, this list is very very needed.
