Many english bl novels focus on the emotional journey of the male - male relationships. They often explore themes like love, acceptance, and self - discovery. For example, in 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe', the two main characters grow and learn about themselves as they fall in love.
One characteristic is the exploration of same - sex relationships. They often focus on the emotional and physical aspects of love between male characters.
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.
