yeseo

+ I am not talking about stories that are clearly just focused on sex intentionally.

So sick of your constant blabber about how it has to be great literature in order for your crystal hiney to approve. Everything you're bltching about is what this genre IS. Get off the nagging, same old shlt that everyone of you puritan church ladies keep flapping about. Shut up about how you think bl/yaoi and yaoi should fit your expectations.

Yup I agree. BL specially since it has history on focusing on fanservice tends to be more about the sex and often is character driven rather than plot driven. I personally prefer plot heavy stories though.

Here are some of my favorites:

Shoujo. MC is forced to become the leader of a rebellion to overthrow the current monarchy. Unknowingly, she falls in love with her enemy http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/basara/

Josei. Multiple MCs wake up from cryogenic sleep in a post apocalyptic future they have to adapt to http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/7_seeds/?Mp37

Shoujo. MC is the reincarnation of one of several aliens that had been living in a research lab on the moon studying humanity. Some of them have special abilities. http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/please_save_my_earth/

Josei. Comedy. MC is a yakuza leader's daughter that is now a school teacher at a delinquents highschool while hiding her identity. http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/gokusen/

Shoujo. In a futuristic Japan, MC becomes the bodyguard of her classmate who is a yakuza lord http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tokyo_crazy_paradise/

Shounen Ai. MC is an angel who fights apparitions that attack humans http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/asterisk/

Shounen Ai. Character Driven. MC just lost his granny who was raising him and moves into the school dorm. Despite being cute, he's a firecracker http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/komatta_toki_ni_wa_hoshi_ni_kike/

Dang I got you that mad? I hope you get the resources to seek professional help someday

Thank you!

Here's also some yaoi with substance that I like

December Rain and Painter Behind the Curtain.

Thank you again! I’ll definitely check these out

I remember liking December rain! I’ll check painter behind the curtain out too

Oh wow! I think December Rain is really underrated. Did you see the last chapter that was added a couple of months ago?

I'm also sick and tired of people like you who trivialize the real life tragedy of mental illness and the true suffering of families and people who have this disease. You ought to be ashamed for pretending to play armchair psychologist while actually expressing hostility.

also, you talk about "recent" changes like you've been reading this genre for 20 years. There's no recent trend toward "porn without plot." That's an insult to yaoi authors and artists. This genre is what it always has been. The only difference is the people like you who endlessly bitch about it, so don't talk like you know. All this griping only started about three years ago when this new age group flooded onto this site with their unreasonable, spoiled brat demands as opposed to the longstanding, appreciative, grateful audience who were delighted with whatever the artists chose to express. Yes, this makes me angry, which is not a mental health issue but an appropriate response to your horrible attitude.

Maybe you should unclench your asshole instead of defending gay manga on the web.. when did I ever demand something out of anyone? Most stories are terrible on an intellectual level both at portraying LGBT relationships and portraying healthy relationships in general. You being a “longstanding, appreciative, and grateful” audience maybe should tell you something to do better with your life instead of bitching on the internet about how you know everything about this genre. I asked for some recommendations with plot heavy stories and got what I wanted. Take the sign and move on.
