Hello, I’m Lys (she/her)! I’m library worker in the US and avid fan of BL manga. I completed my MLIS degree in December 2025. I’m also learning Japanese, and try to keep up with Japanese BL releases.

I started Stacks of BL to both practice writing reviews and also be another resource of information on BL manga! I primarily focus on writing about Japanese BL manga available in English, especially on titles that are available to libraries through certain vendors. I may occasionally review titles only available digitally and/or from smaller publishers as well. While I do have a bit of a library worker spin to the blog, I hope it can be of use to a variety of people, whether they’re new to BL or a long time fan.

You can find me at @stacksofbl on X (formerly Twitter), @stacksofbl.bsky.social, or email me at contact@stacksofbl.com!
