This is the lighter version of my favorites list, made for people who prefer the less darker side of yaoi. In this list, you will find manga with particular emphasis with character-centric plot lines, slow burning relationships and understated yet tender affection between two characters.
Perfect for those who want the same sweet romance of shoujo without the overused romantic tropes and the rigid heteronormative dynamic between a man and a woman in Japanese manga. From these manga, I learned how yaoi is romance that is experimental, liberal and most of all, deeply moving. By going out of the box that many shoujo manga/anime had set for us, meaning the same set of fantasies of a man & woman relationship built by societal gender norms, yaoi, to some extent, offers another kind of romance that feels more authentic. I think I rambled on too much. I just mean to say that I loved each and every one of these manga, and I think, as much as I like Shoujo, I love Yaoi more because of them.
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.
