Sorry ya’ll, i know this is my second time posting this exact same request and the ones who replied delivered amazingly, but is it seriously this hard to find gay men in BL LOL.
Looking for any BL with normal guys (no yaoi hands buff dude, or super hyper feminine dude that’s basically a guy drawn as a girl) and has either; a two gay characters, open or not, or simply no homophobia, internalised or not.
Idk if this’ll help but there’s a manga called ‘until i meet my husband’ which is actually just a comic of the authors real gay relationship, its really good and realistic
That’s actually the manga that got me back into BL! A manga made by a gay author who’s now happily married and it’s an anecdote of his life? SO SWEET.
even though i’ve already read it, thank you for the rec!
I've tried my best to select the ones where uke and seme have similar body sizes else not too big of a difference unlike what is usually followed in bl manhwas to fit heterosexual couple size difference ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
Swing baby - gay uke + no internalised homophobia

Love sick dog - gay seme, straight uke but still no internalised homophobia <3

Hii I just read some fantasy action intense angst and fell in love with the epilogue of the MCs together.
Is there any good BLs with a couple that ends up together and the author continues to write about their relationship instead of ending the BL there? It feels like the author’s main plot point was the relationship and they end it once it’s over (and sometimes it leaves me hanging, seriously it’s like being edged 24/7)
Secondary request is established relationship, I don’t mind reading some too!
Bonus points if there’s a coming out either to the public, their family, or their friends
Examples: The third ending, Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite (+ ESPECIALLY the sequel!!)
seems like everyone has been recommending this recently, i’ll give it a try!
thank you!
most ordinary relationship looks interesting at first glance!
i can finally read a chapter of something more lighthearted and sleep in peace
please tell me what manhwa is this "some fantasy action intense angst and fell in love with the epilogue of the MCs together", I'm curious!! xD

Fantasy like omegaverse, werewolf, vampire, royal, historic or esper guide??
no I'm curious of what op just read before the question but thanks for the recommendation tho now I have something to add to my want to read they look interesting xD
Yes pls, there's also animated movie. If you want something calming then you must watch it :D
i was reading a webtoon i stumbled by chance! ‘Cape of spirits’
i wouldn’t personally have recommended it because of it’s abrupt starting with zero world building (mentioned by the authors too, not their fault) and more amateur artstyle but once I got into it i fell for the novelty!
It’s not everyday we get a purely action plotline with cute fluffy (NON STEREOTYPICAL!!!!) gay characters properly with their romance as side plots that don’t affect the main! A cute peck and hints here and there
i’m running out, do you guys have any recs for either an openly gay MC or one that knows he’s gay. Something like ‘My Abnormal Roommate’ or ‘My Gorgeous Fiance’
would like ones with neither of the characters looking like feminine, and instead either normal looking guys or masculine (like my abnormal roommate)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_man_who_can_t_taste/
mc definitely knows he's gay, however he is closeted
i wasn’t going to reply until i read everyone’s recs, but this? i just have to say THANK YOU
It’s exactly what i’m looking for! From the artstyle being my favourite, to the MC’s dialogues about him being gay and closeted and his perception on gay and straight men, OMFGGGG i hope you sleep with two cold pillows for the rest of your life
OMG ... THATS GREAT TO KNOW (my agenda worked nyehehe)!! im glad u enjoyed reading this gem as much as i do ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
i also like to add how im blushing pls!! this bl was everything when i read it.. the monologue that just hits close to home and just how well grounded the characterization was for a gay man in a bl
NO I’M THE EXACT SAME. THE DIALOUGE IS SO SCARILY ACCURATE FOR THE DILEMMA I’M IN RIGHT NOW AS A CLOSETED GAY MAN BUT WANTING TO DATE. ALOT OF THE LINES RESONATED SO WELL.
actually if i’m being honest, the ML is a type of character i don’t enjoy, but simply just for the MC and how beautifully well he was written. I’M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY I CANNOT THANK YOU SNOUGH
WAH PLEASE SO REAL!!!! even without the romance, just by the characterization itself this would definitely be a hit huehue !! (●'◡'●)ﾉ i also have an recom if u like realistic queer media: our dreams at dusk/shimanami tasogare! but tw it has a lot of sensitive content including: attempted suicide, internalized homophobia, use of slurs.. other than that enjoy reading the insatiable man!!!
i’ve actually read this! very interesting (and long!!) manga depicting a gay character without focusing on romance or the notion of romance heals all! very heart warming between the two main characters
it’s so nice to read the recs of someone who’s on the same wavelength as me! i’ve just finished the insatiable man instead of sleeping last night (oops) and god it was so good, though ML didn’t get a proper redemption arc, his characterisation was just as beautiful as the MC’s. The coming out in S2? JUST WHAT I WANTED.
thank you for the recs! i think i’ve actually browsed through one of your lists before actually
thanks for reminding me to read ‘here you are’! i read the spin off and forgot to finish here you are. you’ve influenced me to open my old tab and read ‘you and i can’t do this’. and i’ll check out ‘one night mate’ hehe more things to read tonight
Glad to be of help (●'◡'●)
EYYY IM GLADD AND S2 RAWS R CURRENTLY UPDATING.. JUST WAITING FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT IF THE OFFICIALS R GUNNA BE UPLOADED SOON CUZ IVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES LMAOO
MC was a good for nothing and his brother was a top hunter. MC has an ability to take a dead person’s ability and amplify it. His brother died in a dungeon saving him and the MC takes his powers and kills the dragon and was granted a wish to go back in time to save his brother.
