Recs if you like 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40...

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.

yaoi with a physical english publication (includes manhwas and manhuas)

series only show first volume, i add books as a i read them

While mainly manga, also includes manwha and manhua

Mostly picked popular ones that are available on PB, and a few that are less known. Just a point to jump off from.

Some are ongoing. Some are smutty. No black or red flags.

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.

A depressingly short list of old man yaoi. Both characters need to be 40+, or at least darn close to 40 - not just one old man x one younger man age gap romance (not that I don't love that too, but it's not old man yaoi imho). No, 40+ isn't "old" by any objective measure, but even finding stories like that is hard, if we make it actual old man yaoi, it'll be even harder.

I asked for some manga recs that were adults (18+) and lgbt+ so I am putting them in this list to share the recs to the world. Thank you to all who helped give so many recs!
