any BL recommendations where the storyline isnt entirely centered around sex but still has some in it? like a deep storyline and good art similar to bongchon bride or STIGMA? even something like shutline or wet sand even though i know those have a lot of smut, but still have actual stories.
release your persona, boundary of delusion, MURDERER LEWELLYNN'S CaNDLELIGHT DINNER- this one is SOOOOOO good, it doesn't have a lot of smut, but the PLOT ohoho i was crying so hard at the end
the most traumatizing manhwa i have ever read was see you again. i have never seen other people talk about it. reading it was so distressing. it was actually terrifying if you think about it past a surface-level reading. like holy shit. please tell me im not the only one. i read it years ago and have reread it a couple times and it still haunts me.
RIGHT? it may have been one of the first bls i read that actually got me irritated. I’ll never reread it again though, i still remember the rage it gave me lol. the love interest pissed me tf off (the one with the black hair). it’s funny i was actually thinking about this story a few days ago bc i have an edit I really like of the blondie and it’s what made me read it in the first place (big mistake lmao)
it genuinely drove me insane when he left him with his rapist & abuser and was all like “hmph i guess you were never over him
i have not been able to look this manga up on google and going through tags would take forever. it was a boy who wore a dog costume to school and got bullied, a lot of the time because people said the costume smelled bad. one girl in class was nice to him and he liked her. i think either another girl joined the class or maybe they got a new female teacher, and she liked the smell of the costume? please please help.
does anyone know a BL where the MC and plot are similar to i wanted to be hurt by love? like real toxic yaoi, beautiful princess disorder, etc.
BL recommendations that actually have depth in their story? Something that makes me want to kill myself? Possibly some live triangles or 3P but not necessary.
i hope this is a good list bc these are not too sad, just frustrating

hmm idk if this story would make you want to kys but i think it’s kinda sad but ends on a good note
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/employer/
this one is wayyyy tew good. but the beginning is so sad i can never reread this tbh.
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/boundary_parks/
love triangle. messy. but not sad.
Most of these https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/2854425/
(But read rainbow city first, SA in chap 3, best to skip)
BL with angry sex? like the scene from perfect buddy where they fight on the floor.
DREAMING OF THE DOKKAEBI
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_mountain_branches_dream_of_goblins/
most of the time, whenever the couple is having sex, they bicker (if that counts as angry) and fight each other while horny lol you can check Ch 15, 16, 24, 25 and 26 (I'm not saying I bookmarked these lmaooo)
I haven't read perfect buddy (but that's on my reading queue) so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for
ty for the rec. i tried reading this manhwa before but i just couldnt stay interested TT-TT
I can’t be the only one irritated by the fact that so many recent BL have basically all the same art style, and are obviously heavily-traced from 3D CSP models in order to produce it faster. Does anyone have recommendations for recent/modern BLs that have good, unique art? (like lost in the cloud or bongchon bride)
Little mushroom
I second Little Mushroom! It's stunning
Also love the art style and vibes of A First of Summers, currently very much obsessed with it https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/first_of_summers/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/night_song_mgs/ just stunning

When it comes to Japanese ones I find less standouts but overall I still really like the Japanese art styles on average. Big fan of Scarlet Beriko's style, as well as Suzumaru Minta, Mamita and Yoriko. Though they don't stand out as much as the manhwa and manhua above due to lack of colour and less individual style
im sorry to describe this manga to you all, but i genuinely need to know if this was something i actually read on this site or if i imagined it.
it also mightve been removed but if yall could find the title that would be crazy
it was like a vintage manga, kind of 80s style or maybe older.
it was about some school girl whose mother(?) sells her to become a dog girl. like an actual dog girl with a snout and tail. she BECOMES a dog more or less. it was probably an ecchi. the manga was short. the girl hates it at first but i think by the end she enjoys being a dog or something.
this was something i probably clicked on when i was way younger while perusing this site and it changed me as a person.
i swear that every BL coming out recently is about some kind of debt. is it really that bad there rn.
YESSS LIKE NOTHING IS GOOD THESE DAYS
i swear it's just a way for authors to make it seem like characters have lots of depth ╥﹏╥ it happens but not the way manhwa portrays it^^ it's mostly household debt from expensive mortgages, deposits/jeonse. i think the debt we usually see comes from prestige and education standard. the whole loan-shark-will-find-you is really dated (▰˘◡˘▰)
It's true that they might have education loan but their country is rich and their pays are high. These writers might just want to write some drama and educate their reader about money maybe, since their society is all about wearing high-end brands and working hard to make their country become the top. They have USA as their standard afterall.
Hawon from “The foul” is 4 million won in debt.
Lee yoohan from Payback I believe his debt is 5 million
Yoohan worked 5 years to pay it back
Hawon sold himself and could only barely pass each deadline with his dead end job
MEANWHILE
Uke from the origin of species got 60 million from shoving 6 ice cubes in his asshole.
Uke from over the moon got 10 million by pouring a drink for some rich guy
they all start with like “im a poor student supporting myself/my entire family because my bum deadbeat father loaned billions for his gambling addiction and he put my name on the loan so now every friday night a group of gangsters come and play cornhole with my anus and a sharp rock but i met another gangster who is offering to get me out of my debt using the money he has accrued by scamming and torturing other poor students just like me ” so there’s genuinely no surprises in the plot possible at that point. maybe the only one with that storyline that gave me a run for my money was legs that wont walk because it was much grosser than the others usually are.
right like why not do a realistic debt story. show the bank repossess the lead’s car. show him complaining about the money automatically taken out of his paycheck. but sure, i’ll believe that these many people are taking millions of dollars from a guy in a leopard print shirt and a dragon tattoo on his neck.
id love to know the numbers for kim dan’s debt pre-PT job in jinx because dude was living in a condemned mold ridden shack, getting beat daily, and still had medical bills to cover for his grandma.
is “all for me” posted here? i cant find it by search.
You mean this one?
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/a_man_who_gives_it_all/
omg thank you. there were like 100 pages of results for “all for me” since it’s an alternate title. youre the goat.
