They usually explore complex relationships. It's not just about simple love, but also about dealing with family, society, and personal identity. For instance, some characters might struggle with coming out because of family pressure.
'Call Me by Your Name' by André Aciman can also be considered in this category. The novel vividly depicts the passionate summer love between Elio and Oliver. The Italian setting adds to the charm and the emotions are so raw and intense, making it a great 'bl passion novel'.
One popular Passion BL novel is 'Given'. It beautifully portrays the relationship between two boys in a music band. Their journey of self - discovery and falling in love is really engaging.
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.
