BL or Boys Love is a genre that’s getting more popular by the day. The genre is self-explanatory, as it covers stories that feature a romantic relationship between two guys. There are also certain classifications within the BL genre.
The stories can either be “Yaoi” which usually contains explicit stories between two main leads that feature 18+ scenes or the stories can fall under “Shounen-ai” where the relationship between the main leads becomes secondary.
The best part about the BL storyline is that it may contain a sub-genre that shapes the whole plot. Supernatural BL is one of the most fascinating criteria.
Supernatural BL has diverse storylines, Ranging from Vampires to exorcists we have tons of BL stories with some classic supernatural factors. Thus today we’ll take a look at the 10 best Supernatural BL manhwa/manga to read. This list doesn’t follow any ranking thus the order has no significance.

4) Prince Bari
People have always been fascinated by events that they can not explain which include spirits and supernatural events. They look for other people who have a special connection with the world of Spirits and this is something that hasn’t stopped even in the 21st century.
This belief people have in Shamans still prevails. This yaoi manhwa shows the story of a Shaman named Yohan, who received fame for being the Prince among Shamans for 13 years. He has made several appearances on Television shows and has claimed to be the best Shaman in the entire Seoul but in reality, he is a con artist.
With the help of the information of his clients, he simply looks up their details on various social media and easily figures out their problems. However, he can also see some spiritual beings and has been living with one of them for a long time. Though Donga (the spiritual being) barely helps him do his job as a Shaman.
Just like every other day, he receives a new client, named Yoonsung Baek. Apart from his age, name, and occupation (he is the CEO of a company), Yohan couldn’t find any other information about him Since he isn’t available on any social media. Thus just for this one case, Donga agreed to help him.
Prince Bari
But as soon as he stepped into the building, Donga felt anxious and ran away leaving Yohan alone. When Yoonsung came inside the room Yohan saw another spiritual being beside him just like Donga.
This spiritual being told Yohan, that he is Chunho, a general that serves the great jade emperor in heaven. The only problem is that even though Yoonsung can also see Chunho, he pretends that he can’t see him. He claims that he hears voices all day long so he went to a doctor but found nothing.
Thus as a last resort, he decided to visit a Shaman. Now, the first order of business for Yohan is to get Yoonsung to agree that he can see Chunho. It’s slow-burn yaoi and it’s interesting to see how these two end up together in the future.
5) Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru
When we talk about Supernatural BL mentioning this manga is mandatory. Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru is a popular Shounen ai manga as it recently received an anime adaptation.
The main plot is quite similar to Prince Bari as the main character in this manga i.e., Mikado has the ability to see ghosts. He works at a bookstore and one day out of the blue he gets dragged out by Hiyakawa who claims that their meeting was destined.
Even though Mikado can see ghosts he is extremely scared of them on the other hand Hiyakawa is an exorcist and wants Mikado to work with him. In the end, Mikado agrees to work with Hiyakawa for specified pay and working hours.

7) MADK
A serious Gore alert on this one!! This Supernatural BL manga contains extreme acts of Cannibalism and weird fetishes. But it totally deserves to be in the top 10 Supernatural yaoi manga. The plot itself is extremely disturbing and unique.
Makoto is a high school boy who’s been reading several books about summoning a Demon. After trying things over and over again one day he successfully summons a high-ranking demon. The demon agrees to grant his request in exchange for his soul, but the request shocks the demon himself!! Makoto wants to trade his soul in exchange for eating the Demon’s Guts.
MADK
Makoto has always thought of eating animal and human flesh. But he doesn’t wish to take anyone’s life for his own pleasure. He used to collect the remains of animals that were run over. But he was still called a disgusting person and a sicko.
Thus he decided that before he goes out of control and ends up killing someone he needs to take his own life. For him, the best way to do so was by Offering his life to a demon and tasting his flesh before he dies. After feeding on him for about a month, Makoto felt satisfied and agreed to die.
But after observing him for a month the demon decided to take his head but, not his soul!! He took the responsibility to grow Makoto into a demon. This marked the beginning of Makoto’s journey to becoming a demon that surpasses the demon king himself.
8) Not for the Faint of Heart
Joo Sungwan is newly employed in a Hospital themed Haunted house of an amusement park. He dresses up like a doctor to scare off clients that walk in the room. However, unfortunately, he can barely do the job, he usually misses the time to come out and gets scared of the customers more than they get scared of him.

He accidentally broke his friend’s laptop beyond repair and as it turns out, the laptop belonged to his friend’s brother and he has to return it within a month. His friend recommended him the job at a haunted house that paid a lot of money for this particular position.
The reason was that there is an actual ghost in that haunted house due to which several people that worked here previously had to quit their job.

On the surface, Ethan Blackwell and Tristan Montgomery are both huge celebrities. While Ethan is a well-established actor, Tristan is a fairly new actor in showbiz but still managed to gain fame in a short period.
Additionally, they both were soon going to start working on a project together and this automatically started a rivalry between them. However, in reality, Ethan Blackwell is a mixed-blood vampire, which helps him in altering his looks.

What will happen when they find out each other’s identities?
10) Black Mirror
Black Mirror is a disturbing and a rather confusing yaoi manhwa but its premise keeps the reader engaged with the story. Tae Joon is a typical honor student looking for a place to rent. He has many friends but he still feels like something is missing in his life.
On the surface, he seems to have a great life without any distress but in reality, he has no memories of his childhood, he keeps hallucinating things and has a sinister fear of darkness.

Black Mirror
As soon as this man saw him, he yelled his name in excitement and invited him into the house. The man introduced himself as Yeon woo and claimed to be Tae Joon’s childhood friend. Yeon even had the same scars that Tae Joon had.
This meant that Yeon can tell him about his past, something that he’s always been eager to know about! However, after seeing that Tae Joon doesn’t remember anything about his past Yeon got anxious and turned around to get inside the house.
Unexpectedly Tae Joon stopped him and asked him if he could rent him a room in his house. What type of mysteries will Tae Joon uncover in this house of horrors?
When it comes to characters’ deaths in anime, it is not quite a moment that we would be proud to watch. But as we know, that makes things a bit realistic and creates a dire atmosphere, especially when the main characters have to realize that death is possible even to them. Even though we know that in most storylines, the main character has to survive through the end, otherwise, that would be just one bad piece of writing.
As the main character of the show survives difficult hardships, it then makes for good character development. And whenever they fall, we always know they will be coming back stronger, and that is what we look forward to the most. When the main character gets that instant boost in powers and they will just be mopping the floor all over with the villains.
Then we have strange franchises like The Seven Deadly Sins and Dragon Ball, where we would see the main characters dying multiple times because there are some strange abilities that would see them come back to life. Let’s look at some of the most impactful and saddest deaths in anime.
Ichimaru Gin: Bleach
We all knew Gin to be a mysterious person all over the series. This was until the very end when we got to know some truth, and he betrayed Aizen, to whom he seemed to be very loyal. He would always carry around his almost constant smile with slitted eyes and his heavy use of sarcasm with his mocking politeness. This makes him a very difficult character to discern, and many used to find his character unsettling.
Gin Ichimaru
Gin’s death has been one of the most impactful and sad in Bleach. Because he would seem to have figured out most things and was hardly inaccurate in his plans. In the end, we find out that Gin is playing along with Aizen, so he finds a way to defeat him. Even though he found one, it seemed as if Aizen was a step ahead. So if we look at what Bleach episode does Gin die, we can see all this unfold in Bleach Episode 307 when Gin finally dies after revealing his true nature.
Escanor: Seven Deadly Sins
As we look at another tragic moment in anime, we can see in Seven Deadly Sins that some of the main character’s deaths come not from the hands of the villains. Some anime have techniques that only happen after sacrifices. Or techniques that rely on the very life force of individuals meaning that for the extreme power boosts that they get, they have to pay the price with their lives. We saw this when Escanor official dies in Seven Deadly Sins Season 4 Episode 20.
Escanor
Escanor was not killed by any individual. Instead, Escanor died due to his own technique “Sunshine” which is a very powerful grace from the angels. He wanted to protect his loved ones and would later use these powers to defeat the demon king. But after the battle, all of his life force was drained away, and the Sunshine grace returned to the angels.
Sir Nighteye: MHA
My Hero Academia Season 4 takes things a bit more seriously and introduces the reality of life after running for a while. So towards the end, things got a bit intense when we came to the realization that every once in a while, we should expect death to visit even some of the main characters that we would not think about. Sir Nighteye was a phenomenal character in My Hero Academia season 4. And if we look at what episode Nighteye dies in, we can see what kind of a person he was.
Nighteye
Most fans would not believe this when they saw it and would frequently ask questions like “Did Sir Nighteye Survive?” and would later get to wonder what did Nighteye say before he died. All this happens in My Hero Academia Season 4 Episode 12. Sir Nighteye died due to a pointed rock that had punctured his stomach as he had received multiple injuries in a battle. His last words were to Midoriya as he told him that his death was near as he could see a bit into the future.
Askeladd: Vinland Saga
Being the mastermind of many evil schemes in Vinland Saga, Askeladd has managed to do almost everything he has planned for successfully. This would even remain true when faced with what appeared to be the strongest character in the series. So his battle tactics managed to let him get his way most of the time. He was a cunning Viking and used to travel around with a band of mercenaries and would lead them to various victories.
Askeladd
There were moments when we thought we would never see Askeladd’s death in the anime. So most fans also wonder what episode Askeladd dies in Vinland Saga. And after he is gone, we also wonder what happens in Vinland Saga after Askeladd dies. Before that, let’s look at how did Askeladd die in Vinland Saga, as he had some of the best moments despite his usual cunning personality. Askeladd died in a duel with Bjorn when he momentarily lost concentration to keep Thorfin out of the fight. So this was a moment of his defeat that saw him finally advise Thorfin instead of the usual taunts.
Chelsea: Akame Ga Kill
Chelsea appeared as a mischievous woman even though all this might have been an act. She used to have a cold and calculative side which would often lead to her making accurate but blunt analyses of people and situations. Towards the end, she displays good intentions when she tries to help the Night Raid members to become more realistic, and she cares dearly for them. This was driven by her desire not to lose them as she did with the previous team.
Chelsea
She was also shown to have a liking for lollipops and her Teigu was usually filled with them. This would explain why she would frequently carry one in her mouth. Her death was not explained in detail in the anime, as we only know that she died in the line of duty. One of the character’s trivia about her reveals that she was at the age of 20 at the time she died. So since she had an interesting character overall, this is one of the deaths in anime that was a bit sad.
Sasha Braus: Attack on Titan
Sasha was a member of the scouts and was a compulsive food hoarder who had a polite way of speech. She was also friendly and loving, and her local accent would easily identify her as being from Dauuper Village. She was timid at first and would make lots of mistakes when under stress. She is also simple-minded and eccentric, and her intuition is very sharp despite all of this.
Sasha Braus
Sasha died in one of the most unexpected ways. And this presents what the life of a survey corps would come with. Because by just being one, she ended up getting killed. We saw this when Gabi successfully infiltrated the survey corps airship. And this would mean that whoever Gabi comes across first, she will have to shoot as she was in enemy territory. So the first person Gabi saw on the ship was Sasha Braus, and she ended up shooting her. Sasha would later die from her wounds despite her innocence and cheerful character. Her death in anime came unexpected and has touched those who were really close to her.
Erwin Smith: Attack on Titan
Even though he was a complex character, who would always appear serious and calculative, Erwin Smith was always planning for the future and had a high degree of trust in his men. He also figured out that there was a spy in the survey corps very early and even ran it down to possible suspects with high accuracy as we look at the moments leading to his death. There was a bit of controversy on whether his men should save him. But Levi managed to make a decisive decision that even Erwin wanted.
Erwin Smith
Looking at what episode does Erwin die? We can see this in the anime as Erwin dies in peace in Attack on Titan Season 3 Episode 18, titled Midnight Sun. So this would also answer the question “Did Erwin die in Season 2?” and this is also the episode where Erwin Smith gets hit badly.
Caesar: Jojo’s Bizzare Adventures
As we look into the final moments that led to Caesar’s death in Jojo, it was during the pursuit of Kars when he went ahead of his group as he had had an argument with Joseph about waiting any longer to launch their attack. When Messina tries to help him out, they are ambushed by Wamuu. And even though Caesar managed to wound him fatally, Wamuu moved to take his shadow and ended up hiding from the sunlight, only for the Holy Sandstorm to deal him a death blow.
Caesar
This would usually happen and lead to death in anime as in the knick of a moment when one individual is on the brink of winning a fight. Then something happens that turns the table around instantly, like we saw when Caesar died. His death was instant and unexpected. So this is all that happened, and in case you were wondering who kills Caesar in Jojo. Then you should know that it was the Holy Sandstorm and a few events that would follow to make his death certain.
Ebisu: Norogami
Ebisu appeared as one of the humorless gods of Fishing and Commerce with a stoic character and always bore near-emotionless facial expressions. He speaks in a reserved and polite manner but with an aloof tone. He can be highly pragmatic and useful as he would constantly progress towards his goals and would go to great lengths for that.
Ebisu Norogami
There are some differences between the manga and the name when it comes to Ebisu’s death. Because in the manga, we see that Ebisu dies a bit after leaving the underworld, and he is then held by Bishamonte. But in the anime, he ended up losing consciousness and died later when Yato and Bishamon were retrieved from the underworld when he was held by Yato instead. The anime also changed a scene from the manga when Yato found out about Ebisu’s death and reincarnated. So this was one death in anime that we should also look into.
L Lawliet: Death Note
Death Note has been a phenomenal anime as it has revolved around the concept of death throughout. The notebook itself is actually the notebook of death, and whoever carries it has a lot of control over what happens. We have seen amazing characters like L Lawliet, whose rival Yagami was also a genius. So we should also look at more interesting details like who killed L Lawliet and what episode does Lawliet die in Death Note.
L Lawlet
Lawliet was planning to test the legitimacy of the notebook’s rule of 13 days. But when Watari died, he noticed that all of the information Kira was deleted. And as soon as L found out that Rem must be the one who killed Watari. Rem ended up writing L’s name in the notebook, which resulted in his death.
Twelve & Nine: Terror In Resonance
Twelve & Nine had died in the same scene while in the line of duty. So if we are to look into how Twelve and Nine died in Zankyo no Terror, then we will not have to look any further. In Zankyo no Terror Episode 11, during the atomic bomb incident, Nine threatened the US helicopters with another possible explosion that he had planned and would detonate at just the press of a button.
Twelve and Nine
These events then lead to a bullet being shot and ending up killing Twelve right away. Seeing this, Nine is shocked and screams in rage and agony as he has just lost his partner and friend. Nine is determined to press the detonation button, but Shibazaki promises to fix things. So Nine ended up giving the detonation button to Shibazani and told him to remember the life that he and 12 lived before succumbing to one of his frequent headaches and ended up dead as well. So these types of death in anime also carry with them a different degree of sadness.
Igneel: Fairy Tail
Igneel has supported Natsu from a young age up until he finds a family in the Fairy Tail Guild. And even though we know that Igneel ends up passing on at some time, we should look at what episode does Igneed die in Fairy Tail and also see if Igneel did defeat Acnologia. He appeared as a caring father, and he was also incredibly protective of him.
Igneel
Igneel dies in his fight against Acnologia when he is overwhelmed, and after seeing this, Acnologia berates his weakness. As the ruler of the fire dragon, Igneel could not put much of a fight before the seemingly invincible Acnologia, and we later got to know the truth behind dragons and Dragon Slayers. So Acnologia had fatally wounded Igneel ripping him in half, and would later move to sever his head.
Shirou: Blue Exorcist
Shirou has expressed a protective personality and is a kind-hearted man who is also mysterious. He is a paladin and does not show any mercy towards demons and ends up befriending a Cat sith known as Kuro. He is also an adopted father of Rin, and this has made him one of the few people who are able to calm Rin down when he loses control. Even though Rin was born the twin son of Satan, Shirou raided Rin with Yukio and showed them love as if they were his children.
Shirou
As he was an Exorcist, Shirou was always in danger whenever he would fight demons. He was issued a fitting uniform consisting of a black coat and a heart-shaped rosary which made him look like a priest as he grew older. He has also turned his Exorcist pin into a very long necklace that he always wears. The necklace has been modified into a Stilleto type weapon, and it is the one he has used to stab himself in the chest, and this would eventually lead to his death. Shirou’s death in anime proved how dedicated he was to his role as a priest.
Zabuza and Haku: Naruto
Zabuza and Haku
When Gato finally reveals his true self, it seems as if he was betrayed just like he expected it. So this did not change much from his perspective, so when he was in the land of waves and was fatally wounded, he requested that Kakashi place him next to Haku. This was a few moments before he died as he wanted to get to the same place that Haku would go. So, in the end, they were buried in a peaceful place, leaving Zabuza’s sword as the grave marker.
Kamina: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Kamina appears as a tall individual who is well built, and he takes pride in himself as he considers himself manly and tough. We usually see him wearing his trademark red sunglasses that would cover his red eyes. At first glance, he appears to be a boisterous and hotheaded individual. He would usually demand recognition and is always looking for ways to become a greater individual.
Kamina
Gurren Lagann seemed to be an anime where individuals would hardly die at first. Because of the humor that the anime usually carries. We never expected one of the main characters to end up dying. So looking at which episode does Kamina die in Gurren Lagann, we can get further details about what really happened that would put his passing away as one of the death in anime that most would remember. One thing to note was what Kamna managed to achieve. Because his goal was to make the surface habitable for humans, he also managed to motivate Simon to acknowledge his greatness.
Neji Hyuga: Naruto Shippuden
Every Naruto fan knows that Neji’s death was one of the most touching in the series. And this was inspired by the character development that he has shown throughout the series. Because from the beginning, Naruto wanted to change the Hyuga clan, especially when it comes to the way that Neji used to think. And seeing this final act from Neji in the midst of war was quite surprising.
Neji
So if we look at what episode Neji dies or how did Neji die in Naruto Shippuden, we will be able to see that it was an act of courage for him. When Naruto and Obito’s battle raged on, Obito tried all he could to prove to Naruto that he was right. So this was followed by a focused attack that Obito had aimed at Naruto. But upon seeing this, Hinata moved to shield him, and this was followed by Neji, who moved to protect Hinata. Taking the blow ended up as a sacrifice so that Naruto and Hinata lived. Neji dies in Naruto Shippuden Episode 364, and that is where you will be able to see everything in detail.
Jonathan Joestar: Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure
As the Son of a wealthy businessman, Jonathan appears as an honest man who is kind and positive. But as we know, bad things mostly happen to good people, and he is no exception. In the anime, he was also the protagonist of Phantom Blood, and his life started to become a mystery when Dio Brando was adopted by George, which would later result in his father’s death.
Jonathan Joestar
Dio wanted to kill both Jonathan and his father, and this was what motivated Jonathan to learn to use Hamon’s energy from Zeppeli as he wanted to settle the score with him. Zepelli then transferred all his remaining Hamon into Jonathan, and even when Jonathan managed to defeat Dio. He was fatally wounded by Dio’s severed head when he attempted to take his body. This would ultimately lead to Jonathan dying from the injuries resulting in one of the death in anime that made the list.
Asuma Sarutobi: Naruto Shippuden
Naruto Shippuden came in as a continuation to the original Naruto anime, but after a time skip. So this is where we saw more deaths of the main characters as Akatsuki made its move to capture all tailed beasts. Asuma’s death played an important role in Shikamaru’s character development up until he avenged his teacher. So looking at how did Asuma Sarutobi die in Naruto will carry more answers and clarity on what really happened.
Asuma Sarutobi
This means that we should look at what episode did Asmua Sarutobi die and also who killed Asuma in Naruto Shippuden. Asuma Sarutobi dies in Naruto Shippuden Episode 80 when facing the immortal Hidan, who performed a strange ritual-like Jutsu that would kill his opponents through the damage he inflicts on himself. Asuma, without knowing this trick, would later fall prey to Hidan’s antiques that would later cost him his life.
Rengoku: Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer returned this year with its second season that introduced the Fire Hashira Rengoku Kyojuro. He was a happy-go-lucky individual, and we all expected things to go well for him. But the early episodes of Demon Slayer Season 2 explored the weaknesses of the Demon Slayers against the recovering demons, which were exhaustion and injuries.
Rengoku Kyojuro
While Rengoku managed to hold off his own against the upper rank three, he was unable to heal from the damage that he would occasionally receive throughout their exchange of blows. The anime also clearly shows how does Kyojuro Rengoku die and why was Rengoku killed off. We also got to see who killed Kyojuro Rengoku and what episode does Rengoku die. Rengoku dies in Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 8 during the infinite train arc when it reaches its end. This was also one death in anime that most fans had a difficult time coming to terms with.
Meruem & Komugi: Hunter X Hunter
One of the very sad and touching death we have seen in the series. Meruem and Komugi died through poisoning, in case you were wondering how did Meruem and Komugi die in Hunter X Hunter. Meruem was poisoned by Netero with a very contagious poison which also affected Komugi because he wanted to be by her side as she succumbed to the effects of the poison.
Meruem and Komugi
Since Netero had a nuclear bomb implanted in his heart, it was also set to explode the moment he died. So the explosion is likely to have killed both of them before the slow effects of the poison do.

Kaori Miyazono: Your Lie In April
Your Lie In April came as a soft anime when it comes to events like death. Because it is a slice-of-life anime, we would hardly expect any individuals to kill each other, let alone be involved in fights. Because for such anime, we have no villains but antagonists.
Kaori Miyazono
Sadly, Kaori Miyazono died on the day of Kousei’s piano competition when she underwent medical surgery. Even though she was in the care of skilled doctors, she ended up passing away and for anime like this one, this comes as one of the most touching deaths in anime, as we had already connected well with the character.

Setsuko: Grave OF The Fireflies

Setsuko dies of starvation, and as Seita watches over his lifeless body, she decides that she will cremate her and use the supplies donated to him by a farmer and place Setsuko in a wicker basket which she sets on fire.

Lelouch: Code Geass
Even though Rolo managed to safely rescue Lelouch, the overuse of his geass would later lead to his death as this overtaxes his heart. He died shortly after he just got to safety which was a bit sad because Rolo was excited over saving him.
