As I've mentioned on my introduction thread, I am barely "getting started" on what it is to read Yaoi. But I was foolish enough to not take my co-worker's advice seriously as he instructed me to precisely avoid namely titles that he criticized as works not worthy of my time. I got into reading them anyways. Oh how much I regret my decision and my naivety.

 

So, instead to trying to search through "bad" titles, I will simply open this thread to let the genre connoiseurs share with me some good titles.

Also, I beg you to take into consideration that I am looking for quality, so I shall extend a list of certain requisites I'm looking for inside your recommendations, if so you have.

 

These are the things I'm not willing to accept:

- Romanticized abuse.

- Stockholm syndrome.

- Non-con or Dub-con.

- One sided characters.

- Strange anatomy.

- Restrictive roles.

- Fetishized homophobia.

- Tasteless rape jokes.

- Justified Sexism.

- Heterosexism

 

In case the story should have Rape and Abuse inside its content, it should be as the following:

- Rape should be seen as the terrible thing it is, not a fetish.

- Emotional abuse exists and it should be noted that it's not okay that it happens.

- The victim should at least be able to escape from it.

- Rape should not be sexy.

 

 

 

I hope that I'm not asking too much. In advance, thanks a lot for the recommendations.

Chara Cafe Relish is a pretty good one, as is the story Junjou Egoist. I will warn you though, a lot of yaoi has rape in it. If you want to stay away from rape being shown as a fetish, I would stick more so to Shonen-ai like No.6 and Gravitation (rape is in this story, but it's actually shown as a bad thing). I don't get turned on by rape either, but I'm having trouble thinking of other yaoi stories that don't show it in a good light. :cuteonion24:

I would suggest From Eroica with Love (very high quality manga that doesn't focus on romance. It is more comedy and intellectual), Yami no Matsuei, and Kaze to ki no uta.
