Top 10 Yaoi Manga [Updated Best Recommendations]
The word “yaoi” is an acronym to say that there's “no climax, no meaning, and no fall”, in Japanese. That's why, by using this word, one could think that yaoi genre is just some kind of hentai branch, directed towards a female audience. This definition, as years passed, lost its true meaning. While it's true that yaoi genre represents male homosexuality, it's even true that the genre evolved and turned out to actually have a meaning, a climax, and often a cliff-hanger. No matter how hard we try, it always seems like we’ve seen and read it all, right? Tired, with no one to guide us, we decide to set on an adventure just to find that one Yaoi manga that will make us feel like it’s worth being alive. We struck gold with these mangas that will definitely have you begging for more!
10. Sick
- Mangaka: Tomo Kurahashi
- Genre: Yaoi, Comedy
- Volumes: 1
- Published Date: December 2013 - December 2014
When you have everything that you can wish for, life can be pretty boring. That’s the case with Sudou: he’s good-looking, wealthy, and popular, so he has no trouble getting anything that he wants.... except for Kishi’s attention. No matter how hard Sudou tries, Kishi doesn’t seem to be that interested in becoming friends with him. Or is it something else that Sudou wants from him? The reason why Sudou decides to pick on Kishi is extremely petty, to say the least. Once, when he was in middle school, a girl who looked just like Kishi rejected him, something that left a scar for life in Sudou’s self-esteem. Don’t worry, the bullying is not harsh—just something a boy in middle school would do. Kishi doesn’t seem to mind, though, and that makes Sudou try even harder to get his attention. In the end, it all works out, and we get to see them enjoying their time together under the sheets.

After his last day at school, Kouichi comes back home, not knowing that it's also going to be his last day in that world. Soon, a voice starts calling out to him, and he’s transported to a realm where everyone is three times his size. Caius, a huge titan, is waiting for him on the other side, and Kouichi is about to become his bride. That has to be some kind of joke! Caius is not only big in height; he’s big down there too… if you know what we mean. It makes us wonder how they make it work, and we’re definitely praying that Kouichi’s ass can take all of that without ripping apart. The Titan’s Bride gives us raunchy sex with lots of details, but we can’t seem to get enough of it! Fortunately, steamy goodness is not the only thing this manga gives us. The story is angsty, and there are feels camouflaged under all the sexy stuff.

When Mine helps him with that issue, Hachikaku is surprised and confused, so he suggests they try a few things to see if Mine is the solution to all of his problems. Hachikaku’s problems have been interfering with his love life… or whatever little was left of it after the girl he was seeing found out that he couldn’t get it up! Mine really didn’t want to take any part in Hachikaku’s dick’s recovery process, but it seems that he’ll have to either way.

There are plenty of things Ryouichirou would rather be doing than looking after a native from a developing country who doesn’t even speak Japanese. But he doesn’t have much choice, since it was the chairman from the university he works at who asked him for the little favor. Qaltaqa is a skilled warrior and devilishly good looking, but he doesn’t know how technology—or anything modern—works, and it’s making Ryouichirou lose his mind! If only he didn’t start feeling weird after hearing Qaltaqa call his name… We all love a good enemies-to-lovers story, and if you make both of the characters good looking men, then that’s even better! Well, Ryouichirou and Qaltaqa are not exactly enemies, but they don’t start off with the right foot. It takes some time for Ryou to get used to his new guest’s presence, especially because Qaltaqa needs help and assistance to do the most basic things. Still, it’s really cute seeing that proud tribe man following Ryou around like a scared puppy. One thing’s for sure, though: Qaltaqa doesn’t need any help in the bedroom, as he knows exactly what to do.

A heartbreak can push people to try things they never would under other circumstances: in Hoizumi’s case, he decides to give dating men a go. He starts frequenting a gay bar and becomes acquainted with the master there, telling him about his problems and how he hates living in a noisy apartment building. After hearing him complain, the master offers to let Hoizumi live in one of his flats. What he doesn’t tell Hoizumi is that he’ll have to share the place with a man called Asahi. Put two guys living under the same room, sit back, and watch the magic happen. It’s not a big secret what happens when two men have to share a house, but it doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy seeing all that tension building between them. At first, Hoizumi and Asahi don’t see eye to eye, but it doesn’t take long for them to get into some other type of action in the bedroom. Yes, we enjoy the hot sex as much as the next person, but when you balance that with a well-written story… Perfection!
