Masterpieces

This collection is a highly selective, BL-centric list that aims to comprehensively render the most LITERARY masterful works across the history of the sub-demographic.
 I will define a literary tale as one which has a goal to execute nuanced moral structure and challenge the reader to take away from the story not only a satisfying plot line and art style, but also an applicable perspective on the world that they can thus carry with them into the happenstances of everyday life.

~*List Always Under Construction*~

*General info: as it stands, there are only two continuous series' on this list. I'm working on getting more heartwarming stuff in here - right now it's turning out to be a really impressively tragic bunch in here! Of course, you can expect that the titles I pick will be worthy of the list, and won't simply be placed here because they change up the mood. It will take some time ^_^ wish me luck hunting.  Sorry about that~

Hello! Your list is simply flawless, and the descriptions are gorgeous. I had a fine time reading all these stories. I would love to know whether you have any plans to make lists for other genres, because I think your taste is impeccable.

Oh my! Thank you so much! I haven't thought about making other lists, to be honest. Would you have any suggestions of themes or whatnot that I can tackle for a list? Again, thank you so much for the high praise!! I'm so happy~

I love your list. Zion no Koeda is one of my absolute favorites so thankyou for mentioning the themes and motifs I missed while reading it! I love it even more now.

That one has a lot going on! I could barely fit it in the summary there, haha. Feel free to message me about it anytime; it was a really intriguing read.

Your writing style is very informative, tempting & inspiring. Writing these reviews must have been time & thought consuming. I can see your dedication coming through it. And I would love to see more of this list!!

Thank you so much Q~Q. This list doesn't get as much traffic as others on the site, but I'm always so grateful and excited when people happen to find it and they enjoy it! I'll be working more on this soon, hopefully! I have a break coming up soon, so you might see an addition or two in the next week or so. (⌒▽⌒) <3 Happy reading!

Your descriptions and reviews of these selections are exquisite and are the catalyst to my reading each and every one. I am pleasantly stunned by your beautiful writing style and eloquence. I saw a comment you posted for Bokurani Matsuwaru Etc and was compelled to check out your list of literary masterpieces. I was not disappointed. Thank you for taking the time and effort to compile and share this list.

I am currently on a plane. I would have given a more lengthy reply otherwise, but I'll start by thanking you for your kind praise. I hope to have the time shortly to continue refurbishing the contents of this list. Please chat me up with anything interesting you've read, or if you have questions concerning my lists or areas of study (I happen to double major in Japanese Studies and Art, so there's plenty to talk about there.) Thank you for taking the time to fish me out from that comment long ago. I do mean it when I say to message me if you'd like. It's the lonely life for me on this site, ahaha. As always, happy reading! And thanks again!

I m following. I just read one. Hell yeah it gave me heartache. Keep updating

勇気 (Yuuki) June 21, 2015 9:05 pm

Thanks so much! I'm on the lookout for my additions, and the descriptions of currently listed series are coming soon as well!

I love your detailed reviews.

勇気 (Yuuki) April 2, 2015 11:37 am

Thanks! More to come, for sure!

勇気 (Yuuki) March 21, 2015 7:54 am

Thank you followers! Note to you all: Because these are all masterpieces, it's frankly unfair to try and rank them (and they're all so different!). So with this list, please disregard the numbering and read what seems interesting!

More pieces will be added and lengthy notes placed later!
