Any BL recs with a gay character?

NotAPrinter February 18, 2024 11:59 am

i’m running out, do you guys have any recs for either an openly gay MC or one that knows he’s gay. Something like ‘My Abnormal Roommate’ or ‘My Gorgeous Fiance’

would like ones with neither of the characters looking like feminine, and instead either normal looking guys or masculine (like my abnormal roommate)

    mc definitely knows he's gay, however he is closeted

    i wasn’t going to reply until i read everyone’s recs, but this? i just have to say THANK YOU

    It’s exactly what i’m looking for! From the artstyle being my favourite, to the MC’s dialogues about him being gay and closeted and his perception on gay and straight men, OMFGGGG i hope you sleep with two cold pillows for the rest of your life

    NO I’M THE EXACT SAME. THE DIALOUGE IS SO SCARILY ACCURATE FOR THE DILEMMA I’M IN RIGHT NOW AS A CLOSETED GAY MAN BUT WANTING TO DATE. ALOT OF THE LINES RESONATED SO WELL.

    actually if i’m being honest, the ML is a type of character i don’t enjoy, but simply just for the MC and how beautifully well he was written. I’M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY I CANNOT THANK YOU SNOUGH

    WAH PLEASE SO REAL!!!! even without the romance, just by the characterization itself this would definitely be a hit huehue !! (●'◡'●)ノ i also have an recom if u like realistic queer media: our dreams at dusk/shimanami tasogare! but tw it has a lot of sensitive content including: attempted suicide, internalized homophobia, use of slurs.. other than that enjoy reading the insatiable man!!!

    i’ve actually read this! very interesting (and long!!) manga depicting a gay character without focusing on romance or the notion of romance heals all! very heart warming between the two main characters

    it’s so nice to read the recs of someone who’s on the same wavelength as me! i’ve just finished the insatiable man instead of sleeping last night (oops) and god it was so good, though ML didn’t get a proper redemption arc, his characterisation was just as beautiful as the MC’s. The coming out in S2? JUST WHAT I WANTED.
