Note: Included are dramas made of the manga 'Hanazakari no kimitachi e'. People, there are a whole lot of numbers between 1 and 10. A stupid romcom can be a 10 just as well as a Kurosawa flick, can.ītw A '5' means 'mediocre'. My ratings are pretty harsh at times, but I judge by quality, not by how much I like/dislike it. 'Gay theme' and BL are two different things.īut as long as one can tell fantasy from reality-it's a convenient word.
Note To make it simple I'll just call BL, even if it would be more correct to say stories about guys who are attracted to guys. ***(Titles with (only) Trans characters not included-a Trans woman who loves men is straight, not gay.Ĭrossdressing has nothing to do with gender identity so titles with cross-dressing guys who like guys included.īromance if there is an implication that it is/will go beyond friendship)***
List will only contain titles in which BL/Gay/Male Bi couples/characters/themes, have at least a somewhat prominent role. If you'd like recs about non-Asian BL, just ask. China (+ Taiwan and Hong Kong), Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.) Or, more like, 'BL from some Asian countries'. Asian BL from the 1980's to 2021: A comprehensive Guide for lazy Fangirls (and Boys)
