All we cannot forget is BL! There were many interesting BL Manga works!!!

 

 

 

 

So, this time let’s look back the BL Manga in 2016, with words of “Kono BL ga Yabai (This BL is Awesome) ! (´_ゝ`)ノ

Kono BL ga Yabai” presents the best 20 of BL(Boys Love, Yaoi) comics and novels! You can BL that you did not know and enjoy newly drawn anime and interview articles that you cannot see anywhere else♪ We cannot miss it because it has a special newly drawn anime works by Shimizu Yuki, Nakamura Asumiko, Koshino, Totempole, Takarai Rihito etc. for its 10th anniversary!

 

 

If you think like there are too many to follow… or I don’t know what to read…

you will see the BL trend of the whole year!٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

 

 

 

★1. Yuuutsu na Asa : Blue Morning / Hidaka Shoko (Volume 1~6)

http://amzn.asia/8z7UfsO

 

 

The worth-reading long BL became the top 1!

It sets in the Meiji era and is a master-servant classical romance by a young viscount and a beautiful butler. I wonder how the “life and love” in that time with the class system will be like! (# ^ω^ )

 

 

 

★2. Yarichin☆Bitch-bu / Ogeretsu Tanaka

http://amzn.asia/16UcLBd

 

 

It is about a club activity in a boys’ boarding school deep in the mountain…… It sounds vulgar but is a school story with full of clumsy yet pure love affairs!! Although you can enjoy and read this BL, it has a serious element as well as the characters are all unique and interesting! This is great in many ways!  

 

 

 

★3. Color Recipe / Harada

http://amzn.asia/1HipYwv

 

 

Shokichi is a stylist who is worried about being not popular because he is too serious and unfriendly. And a top stylist who is nasty and a clown, Fukusuke, is coming to a shop where Shokichi is working.

What will their emotions and deep attachment for something that they want to obtain will be like……What the last bomb is waiting for is Harada’s world!

 

 

 

★4. Zhen / Monzen Yayohi

http://amzn.asia/1OU3qWJ

 

 

This is a love story of a poisonous bird and a Shogun whose elderly brother was killed by the poison. The world of the story which was well built makes it worth reading. They used the Chinese legendary poisonous bird as a motif, so if you like Chinese fantasy, I highly recommend this! Zhen’s new work is also in “Kyokuya”! 

 

 

 

★5. Escape Journey / Ogeretsu Tanaka (Volume 1~2)

http://amzn.asia/06QOohC

 

 

Naoto accidentally met his ex-boyfriend Taichi in his university. Although they are going well as friends, they can’t go along with each other when it comes to “love” … Their student-like conflict and growth are so realistic and you may understand many things in this Manga, Escape Journey. You will definitely feel painful and sad!

 

 

 

★6. Jackass! / Scarlet Beriko

http://amzn.asia/emKeHKE

 

 

This is BL about best childhood friends! They are fresh and fetish to legs.

 

 

 

★7. VOID/ Zaria Ranmaru

http://amzn.asia/31T4b4W

 

 

This was selected after becoming a topic as an R18 comic of the first complete order production. The SF-like world of love by a humanoid and a human and the pictures are just so beautiful. There is also a ‘not’ R18 version.

 

 

 

★8. Hidamari ga Kikoeru: I Hear the Sunspot / Fumino Yuki

http://amzn.asia/dwiJXUL

 

 

This was adapted to a movie! There are a uni student Kohei, who cannot get along with others because he has a difficulty in hearing and tends to have misunderstandings , as well as a stupidly positive guy, Taichi. Like this cover, this is a soft BF manga which is fresh and pure. But it is not too fresh, and the mutual understanding that they feel difficult and happy is described well. Also, some awful emotions are described too.  

 

 

★9. Ten Count / Takarai Rihito (Volume 1~5)

http://amzn.asia/2kZ1XG4

 

 

It is such a strongly popular work. We don’t know where the two of them are heading!

 

 

 

★9. ROMEO / Watanabe Ajia

http://amzn.asia/8qDkvHx

 

 

This is a fantasy with an idea of ‘Omegaverse’! One way love is so bitter… and Kemonomimi (which means animal ears) ! (ΦωΦ)

 

 

 

★11. Kikoeru? / Hashimoto Aoi

http://amzn.asia/9QGGvOV

 

 

One day, a shy uni student who likes listening to the radio, Itsuki, and a radio DJ, Yuno, accidentally met in a local book store. This has their fresh love with a big age difference!!!

 

 

 

★12. Mother's Spirit / Enzou

http://amzn.asia/euJSZaB

 

 

This is a heartful BL with culture exchange. An exchange student, Qaltaqa’s pure and strong mentality as well as his beautiful body fascinates us. 

 

 

★13. Iberiko Buta to Koi no Dorei /SHOOWA

http://amzn.asia/gk4j62X

 

 

“Iberiko Buta” is an eco-friendly group picking rubbish in streets, although they look a little bit bad and dangerous. They grow apart, which is frustrating and makes us feel like supporting them! Please read “Iberiko Buta to Koi to Tsubaki” and “Iberiko Buta to Koi no Dorei” in order.

 

 

★14. Inu mo Kuwanai / Psyche Delico

http://amzn.asia/04bAPLZ

 

 

There are 3 persons in this story - one who runs away, one who chases, and one who cuts in them. The mysterious relationship makes this serious love story of adult (in the 50s).

 

 

 

★15. Caste Heaven: Heaven of School Caste / Ogawa Chise (Volume 1~2)

http://amzn.asia/6oSGnez

 

 

A secret game for students to decide the relationship in a classroom, “Caste Game”, may choose all the roles, including the one who becomes the top of the class as well as the one who is a target of bullies. This is a very dark work as we can hear kids’ heart crying out who want to protect themselves from being selected as the next target by hurting others.

 

 

 

★16. Motomrte Yamanai / Masao Mitsuki

 http://amzn.asia/0nW2cxe

 

 

The process how a socially unfit person and a cooking lover that naturally need each other gradually touches us!

 

 

 

★16. Isshou Tsuzukerarenai Shigoto: Work Can't Continue Forever / Yamada, Yugi (Volume 1~3)

http://amzn.asia/96NKhWB

 

 

Although their love is not strong yet, the trusted relationship between men excites us in this work-related BL. The character who is not cool a little bit but warm, kind and serious is just so good!

 

 

 

★18. MODS / Natsume Kazuki

http://amzn.asia/i1WJ3mR

 

 

This BL is unrefined but fresh, as a hopeless sprit knows love and will be saved!

 

 

 

★19. Mou Ichido, Nandodemo. 1st and 2nd / Aniya, Yuiji

http://amzn.asia/b0tg47l

 

 

This BL is drawn with a new style of ‘memory loss' which is often taken as a topic. You will see how he spends his daily life positively for someone he loves, without blaming someone negatively!

 

 

 

★19. Yuki no Shita no Qualia: Qualia Under the Snow / Kii Kanna

 http://amzn.asia/ddFDgBD

 

 

There are two persons - Aki, who is not good at socializing with someone, and Umi, who is always worried unless he touches someone. Their cold heart was warmed up little by little by each other’s existence, which gradually makes us feel relaxed!  

 

 

 

 

Was your favorite BL ranked in here??

Mine was not in this ranking!!! However, it is still good that I met a BL that I want to try to read!

 

The year of 2016 has a variety of BL, such as “Doukyusei (Classmate)” was adapted to anime movie, SUPER LOVERS was adapted to anime, a new cover of “Hidokushinaide(Don't Be Cruel)” by Nekota Yonezou who got 15th anniversary since debut was published, “Dakaretai Otoko Ichii ni Odosarete Imasu” which held a real mystery solving and escaping game at AGF, etc.! 

 

I hope we can meet wonderful BL in 2017 too! (´_ゝ`)ノ
