Synopsis

Hikaru Kusakabe is a normal, carefree boy in a rock band who is always focused on the present. During the summer, his entire class is forced to participate in an upcoming chorus festival. By coincidence, he discovers his classmate Rihito Sajou—known for being an honor student with excellent grades—practicing his singing alone. Sajou just cannot seem to get their class' song right, and Kusakabe, delighted at seeing a new side of his straight-laced classmate, offers to help him prepare for the event.

Although their lives and personalities are total opposites, they begin to grow closer as time progresses. But with the pressure of an unknown future, what will become of them and their growing relationship?

A very touching story about first true love.
This anime delves into romance in a way I too rarely see in anime nowadays. It's pure and true, and remains for the most part free of sexualization which I can't say for many other BLs. It's realistic in its portrayals with its depictions of the struggles of relationships but the resolutions are always healthy and there is no "toxic yaoi" here...Also, its use of metaphors and allegories was really touching to me and it's something I really vallue in any type of media, it adds a depth to it and opens the door for analysis. Overall, it ...

Mixed Feelings
It's been a longstanding tradition for me to review terrible yaoi anime every June. However, I'm rapidly running out of hilariously bad ones. I can't really do anything to top Kimera: Gay Vampires from Outer Space. So, this year I'll break with tradition and review the highest rated LGBTQ anime on all of MAL! Why is it the highest rated? Honestly, I have no idea.

Doukyuusei is a direct adaptation of a yaoi manga written by a heterosexual woman. A lot of the hackneyed cliches you would expect show up here. There are clear cut "seme" and "Uke" roles. The Seme forcibly kisses the Uke ...

This movie sucks. I had high hopes going into as I see it recommended a lot and then was seriously let down, and had to froce myself into sitting through the whole thing. Lots of nonconsensual kissing and a pedophile teacher. If you want a cute gay high school romance watch sasaki and miyano. They have the most healthy relationship I have ever seen in anime, especially in BL which has an unfortunate history of controversial and often harmful tropes. Bro how long does this review need to be. I said everything I need to say. Let me publish. ffs
