The key criteria is that these are BL manga titles that aren’t packaged in shrink-wrap. Now, wholesome here means suitable for teenaged readers and up. So, I’ve taken the time to put together a list of wholesome Shounen Ai manga that are accessible. This is especially true because reading stories about queer love is important, and many of these choices feature queer joy, even if it’s only found after some hardship.
Whether you’re not in the mature reading group for the plastic-wrapped content, or you just don’t want to read it, knowing there are shounen-ai options is important. That said, it’s important to share wholesome Shounen Ai that can be picked up by anyone. In the same way, we wouldn’t exclude a movie from having a sex scene, I also don’t exclude romance manga. As an editor here at But Why Tho?, I’ve made it one of my missions to cover BL that spans the entire spectrum. However, BL is an overarching genre of MLM romance fiction that can include 18+ explicit content that features sexual intimacy and it can also be shounen-ai, which is more akin to shojo wholesome romances that maybe have a hand-hold or a cutaway scene. When it comes to BL manga, it’s often dismissed as only being adult titles.
