The reason why most of the BL you encounter is so horny is because you're looking at "Yaoi" Categorizing Hikaru ga shinda natsu as a Yaoi is a bit incorrect as Yaoi refers to BL that has explicit sexual themes. If you want more wholesome BLs then I suggest you look into the shounen ai genre instead!!! Your reaction on the manga is good though! I highly suggest Sasaki to Miyano, and yes stay off of Killing Stalking for now lmao (Edit: I commend you for reading BL by the way! Don't be put off with boys kissing, it is a diverse genre just like any other. Explore and have fun!)
Eyooo read Heaven Official’s Blessing (aka Tian Guan Ci Fu) it’s BL but with a masterpiece story, and the Manhua has GOD TIER art. There’s also a novel series, and a Donghua for it, so lots of content. Plus the relationship is slow burn but also… not? And entirely wholesome. Like… the otp invented love I stg. It’s Chinese not Japanese so there’s a big culture shift, but personally I find it really refreshing and fascinating. I get the appreciation for some boink boink here and there, but this one doesn’t actually have any - and tbh it doesn’t even need it. It’s even better without it somehow. The tension is unreallll between the otp tho 👌✨
@@PurpleFlameYT if you do and post any videos about it I’ll watch every single one ✌️ the fandom for it is phenomenal too, but full of spoilers so watch out 😂
This isn't targeted at you specifically, but I've seen lots of people mistaking Yaoi and Shounen Ai for being the same thing. It's actually not the same. Yaoi is a genre specifically used for BLs with inherently more sex than actual plot. While Shounen Ais are plot driven. Yaoi can be basically summed up as the smut of the BL genre. While Shounen Ai is the wholesome, pure, fluff version of the genre. Under shounen ai, you can find the generic hetero manga tropes such as childhood friend becoming lovers, office workers who were initially rivals but grew to care for each other, etc. It's honestly similar to hetero mangas with the exception being the gender. My first introductory to BL or any sort of gay media was a shounen ai manga, so I was not at all put off by the relationship. Yaoi on the other hand gave me the shock of my life(when I mistook it for shounen ai in my "newbie" days). "WHY ARE THEY HAVING SEX IN THE FIRST CHAPTER? WAIT THINGS ARE MOVING A LITTLE TOO FAST DON'T YOU THINK?!? HOLD ON BACK UP A BIT" It felt like riding on a roller coaster of emotions. After a quick research, turns out yaoi and shounen ai are not the same after all...
Such a mood, first BL I've enjoyed (as a aero/ace person) mainly cause man... It's just amazing, the horror, mental health issues, everything. (And yes I'm just a TAD bit mad that I have to keep waiting for new chapters) sobs
Man the second this video started I saw 'Global Examination' on the screen. Highly recommend that manhua. If you like yourself a nice action / suspense / shounen ai manhua, way to go.
BL = with story.
Yaoi = No story pure boink-boink.
Ohhhhhh that makes sense
@@ironeggsandham yeah, I totally forgot Shounen Ai LOL. I got to used to BL = Sounen Ai XD
@@TsubasaYureiactually yaoi has stories.
I mean I don’t know about mangas but there’s a lot yaoi manwhas (Korean webtoons) that are pretty good
That's what people mean when they say they want more bl stories@@PurpleFlameYT

Thanks for the clarification!!! I thought they meant the same thing but now I know
@@PurpleFlameYT No problem! Happy to share some knowledge, I enjoyed watching your video ☺️
Killing stalking isn’t really considered a bl manwhua though.
Is it?
@@Mialikesthings Same reason why I did not classify it as such, it's psychological horror that happens to have some gays in it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@youbetterstanloona6717 Yeah,hence why it is quite annoying that some consider it yaoi.
is this why people were scared of boy kisser?

Grandmaster of Demonic cultivation and Heaven official's blessing aren't bad.

2:35 is absolute gold my friend
Sad BL are best BL, trust
I definitely recommend reading TGCF :)
Do not read killing stalking dude pls
i dont want to be that person, but I have to be that person… killing stalking isn’t a bl. It’s a psychological horror, not a romance 😭
That's good to know! all my friends have told it was a bl so I believed them ;-;
Nah it's 100% a romance
Can you make a series out of this? I need more yaoi recommendations ong
Man the second this video started I saw 'Global Examination' on the screen. Highly recommend that manhua. If you like yourself a nice action / suspense / shounen ai manhua, way to go.
Rightt it’s so good😭😭
sasaki and miano is one of the most holesom and well written. That or BL I’ve ever watched/ read
i love this series so much the whole thing is one big metaphor
Well well well I'm listening
this hited harder than a metal pipe
Read global examination! It’s very plot driven 🙏
Try Shounen ai next time😭it’s much better imo
Boku no pico is peak. Change my mind
Ok
🤔🪨
4:56 I recognize this. 8.5/10
