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

 9.7(1381 voted)
Complete
Author(s): DJun
Genre(s): Shounen Ai / Romance / School Life / Drama / Webtoons

☆ 4.5/5

[18+, slice of life, romance, university life]

TW: homophobia, bullying, age gap (side pair)

+ enemies to friends to lovers
+ family feels
+ good writing and art

What a ride! A binge-worthy manhua about young people and their journey in discovering their sexuality and relationship with their loved ones, and it has a degree of realness that will stab and heal your heart at the same time. Not perfect by any means, but a good read nonetheless.

Author(s): Old Xian
Genre(s): Comedy / School Life / Shounen Ai / Slice Of Life / Webtoons

☆ 4.5/5 so far

[PG, school life, slice of life, comedy, drama]

TW: violence

+ friendship/bromance
+ funny as hell

About four boys being silly together. There's some stuff about mafia and kidnapping or whatever, but it's secondary to the relationship and bond between the main characters. Would like it more if they werent junior high schoolers drawn like adult super models but oh well!

Author(s): Wu Zhe, rui shou meng
Genre(s): Shounen Ai / Drama / Slice Of Life / Romance / Webtoons

☆ 4.5/5

[PG, slice of life, drama, coming of age, found family]

TW: suicide attempt, depression, underage (17x20), abusive family, violence, bullying, homophobia, sexual harassment (not between MCs), murder

+ strangers to friends to lovers
+ growing up tgt
+ affectionate couple
+ reversible couple

Another adaptation of a great slice-of-life / coming-of-age novel by WuZhe! The pacing of the manhua can be a bit disorienting but overall the story is great. I want to keep reading it forever.

☆ 4.5/5

[PG, school life, rom-com, slice of life]

+ friends to lovers
+ good writing and development
+ heartwarming and adorable

What I love about this manhwa is that the romance is so intertwined with the friendship and family aspect. While it's certainly a light feel-good story with silly moments, it's also unexpectedly deep and touching. Kinda has the same feeling as Reply drama series.

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.

tofu January 4, 2025 4:28 pm

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.
