Recs if you like The Metalhead Next Door...

They're here. This is a list of manga about adults in contemporary, non-fantasy settings. BL and GL are included here. SPOILERS: Actually some of them are unemployed as a plot point.

Will have you kicking your feet while you read and feeling butterflies through the pages 🫧 honorable mention to Yuri On Ice, Sk8 Infinity, & all the one shots and independent BL authors I couldn’t add

List inspired by @Lady_of_the_Library's club post. Recommendations provided by the PB community! These stories are intended for adult readers (18+) and often feature realistic, mature romantic relationships, complex emotional situations, and sometimes explicit content.

Manga that I feel in my soul is subtextually or explicitly queer.

Getting further into BL means this time there are a few red/black flags, some also feature…..dubious or questionable consent since that is a very common and popular trope in the genre.

Most feature smut

Tread with caution!

Sweet, heartwarming, cozy, uplifting stories with romance as both the main genre or as a side. Includes manga, graphic novels, and light novels, clean and spicy stories.

BL, romance, fantasy, and everything in between - manga, manhwa, light novels, graphic novels, and comics. All my favourite stories and ones on my TBR. A mix of clean and spicy (only adding the first vol for each series)
