Last edited by otakubaybay at 5:02 am, Jun 16 I keep looking this list over, to see if I can take any of them out (so it won't be so long), but I just can't! All these stories are just so amazing!Īnyway, so yeah, anyone have a favorite or one they think is the best? What is the best yaoi you've read? I'm not really sure about my absolute favorite, but I have many that I just love!<3Īs you can see (sort of anyway), most of these manga come from the same authors: Takanaga Hinako, Minami Haruka, Sakuragi Yaya.If I like a manga's style and art I tend to check out other works done by the same author Kinniku Otoko (literally "Muscle Man") is one of the manga magazines that focuses on this genre.I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this! Just in case there is and I just didn't see it, please tell me The two major commercial publishers at the moment are Furukawa Shobu (a publisher of gay men's magazines) and Oakla Shuppan (a yaoi publisher that also has some bara manga magazines).

The term was popularized by a Japanese gay magazine called Barazoku (lit. It is generally considered a separate genre from yaoi many Japanese bara artists would be offended if their works were called yaoi. Bara also tends to be much more explicit than yaoi.īara evolved from illustrations and manga in gay men's general-interest (and/or pornographic) magazines, which partially accounts for the differences in style and tone, as well as the generally short story length.
It also, usually, tends to avert, subvert or invert the Uke and Seme dynamics e.g., frequently the Seme is someone younger and much "cuter" looking. Bara is more likely to feature manly and muscular (sometimes hairy) characters with varying degrees of body fat, as opposed to the androgynous and effeminate boys commonly found in Yaoi. Bara generally features mature and realistic(ish) relationships, rather than overly melodramatic soap opera plots. Note that, like most Manga Demographics, Bara is defined in terms of the target audience, not the authors or the subject matter there are women who write Bara and are published in Bara magazines, while the rare few stories by gay male authors about gay men which are intended for a general (presumptively heterosexual) audience are not usually classified as Bara.īara can cover any topic but most focuses on romance or sex. In Japan it's more commonly known as "gei comi", "gei manga", or "menslove". Bara is a Japanese genre of manga and art for gay and bisexual men, usually (but not exclusively) made by gay or bisexual men.
