Often, the 'Seven Days BL Novel' has a short - time - frame focus, like the name implies, centered around seven days. This allows for a concentrated development of the relationship between the male characters.
In a 'Salad Days BL novel', there could be themes of first love. This often involves the intense emotions, the nervousness, and the pure joy that comes with falling in love for the first time. There may also be themes of friendship evolving into something more. As the characters are likely young, themes of growing up, facing family expectations, and dealing with school or career choices while in a relationship could also be present. It's about the journey of two male characters exploring their feelings for each other during this special, often transient and exciting time of their lives.
I think 'Sasaki and Miyano' is also among the best. The story is set in a school environment. Miyano is a fudanshi (a boy who likes BL) and Sasaki is a popular boy in school. Their relationship starts from Sasaki's interest in Miyano and slowly blossoms into a deeper connection. It has a lot of cute and heart - warming moments, and the way their relationship progresses feels very genuine. It also touches on the insecurities and self - acceptance that the characters go through.
Another is 'Yuri!!! on Ice'. Although it's more sports - centered, the relationship between Yuuri and Victor is really well - developed. It shows how they support each other, grow together, and their love story unfolds in a very natural and heart - warming way. The plot also has a lot of depth with Yuuri's journey to regain his confidence in skating.
Well, I am addicted. The beautiful art, diverse plotlines, and the exploration of emotions in BL manga make it hard for me to resist. Also, it offers a unique perspective on relationships that I find fascinating.
BL in manga refers to Boys' Love. It's a genre that focuses on romantic and emotional relationships between male characters. Usually, it shows deep affection, sometimes with a touch of drama and passion.
