| So, I'm planning to watch this show. However, I found out that it does not have Boys Love tag in Myanimelist. I won't watch it if it's straight or even if it's suggestive. |

it's not straight
the focus also isnt on romantic progression tho so them being gay doesnt really matter that much in the grand scheme of things
unless youre a homophobe and people being gay blinds you so much that you cant appreciate everything else this animanga has to offer
| @mobxmentality bro read his post he wants it to be not straight lol |
| Not really into BL, still gonna watch it tho 🤷♂️ I personally think the visuals are stunning. |
| I think a lot of people here must’ve read the manga with their eyes closed, what the hell do you mean the gay love of the main two guys isn’t important? The whole plot is a big fucking metaphor for internalised homophobia and social conformity, and the themes of forbidden love and what people will ‘stoop down’ to do in the name of love. Hell, “Hikaru” is a big metaphor just by itself for how we treat those who ‘come out’. Sure there’s no kissing or other ‘typical’ romance stuff and it likes to use a lot of horror imagery in place of typical depictions, but the gay crushes each of the main boys have are directly linked to the progression of the story. |
| Characters are canonically gay, but the focus is not romance but the supernatural and horror. |

| @VoidDaddy We are saying that it is not the focus to make people watch and convert to fujodanshism. |
| People dropping it because there's something queer in it as if it was a full on yaoi erotica. But if one boy was a girl it would be fine. |
 |
 I am confused about this sht rn. alright, gonna drop this anime because all i want is only waifus. |
| Looks like a fujoshi bait anime. |

| It's so hilarious that an Anime that is potentially about shapeshifting Aliens is talked about mainly because there might be some gay stuff in it... People are concerned... 2 Threads. Over a hundred people. Noone cares about the Aliens or the Summertime Render Vibes.... We truly are living in an open minded and tolerant society, aren't we folks? 😅😂 |

Merve2Love said: Noone cares about Summertime Render Vibes Me! Summertime Render is awesome, and the Kansai-ben + backwater village + supernatural mystery gives me a lot of similar vibes which I look forward to 🙂 True as a general point though. MAL hasn't changed much when you think about it from the time Shinsekai Yori was airing, and so many cared about the brief gay scenes over substantial criticism. |

| People dropping this anime because there are gay characters is hilarious I mean, hilarious in a sad way but at least we won't be bothered by homophobic weeds (targeting both people who are plain homophobic and the simple-minded that think a story involving gays obviously implies sex and graphic content) |
Reply to gamibo
At the end of ep 1 they say that they "like" each other. Its definitely gay,dont listen to people who say otherwise.I am not against gay but when i see two male friends given angle of gay love it hurts bcoz it will make true friendship b/w men cringe and man will stop making bestfriends with man due to gay angle.Till now men were hugely famous for being bros before h@es but these kinda animes,movies will make such relationships cringe and given color of gay
| @gamibo This is such a weird response LOL. Men can be friends and not be gay. And the opposite can also be said. There's many types of people in this world, and one single show about one type of relationship doesn't account for every single guy out there. That's just really weird mentality. This is a queer story, as such, there are queer characters. There are PLENTY of other anime you can watch that guys are simply just friends with each other with no romantic context. If this isn't for you, that's fine. But your comment is extremely weird and maybe you need to focus on content more suited for you than trying to tear down content that is clearly not made for your demographic. |

| @Damuzen 100% with you on that. |

| There are only slight undertones and one guy having feelings on other heavily implied, though I doubt anything will come out of it. Banana Fish had similar situation. gamibo said: At the end of ep 1 they say that they "like" each other.
