31 Yaoi, Danmei, and BL titles available in English
Every month Book Club for Masochists: A Readers’ Advisory Podcasts chooses a genre at random and we read and discuss books from that genre. We also put together book lists for each episode/genre that feature works by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Colour) authors. All of the lists can be found here.
Many thanks to our guest Kyuu for contributing most of these titles.

Korean language origin
Many Korean language novels and comics are available in English via a subscription or pay-per-chapter model and may not be available to library systems, but we did not want to exclude the breadth of Korean series when so many are legally available in English. Some of these require creating accounts to view.
