Hello, for some time know I've been a fan of shonen-ai, BUT I've never watched any anime (I just read fanfictions) so I would like to know what anime I should start this 'new' genre with? Something light, with a good plot, character development, and can put me hooked from the beggining to the end.

Thanks :3

Let's see if you want something light try death Note Mc is named light.

Steins gate is good serious with light jokes to place off humor.

GTO is funny a bike gang leader becomes a teacher.

Really check the top anime series lis on site and just go down and read about them and try them if you want.

Not sure if joking or srs.

Start with the OVA Kono Danshi, Ningyo Hiroimashita. It's really sweet. Loveless is brilliant too, but the story is quite dark (particularly the manga).

In my opinion you should avoid Junjou Romantica like the plague. It basically gives forced sex and affection a great big thumbs up, which is never OK, and the characters are really quite detestable.

Kono Danshi, Ningyo Hiroimashita.
Kono Danshi, Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu.


nb : you should also add Doukyuusei on your plan to wach list. It has yet to be release but trust me.


edit : i totally agree with what Kuromii just said about Junjou Romantica.

I dont know if that is supposed to be a joke or not, but I had a very good laugh. If you were serious, well that means you dont know what Shonen-ai is and I would gladly tell you ;)
Thanks anyway!

Thanks again!

... How can I say, I already watched Pandora Hearts, Black Butler, Seraph of The End and Hakkenden, and I can say that none of those are Shounen-ai, though they surely have a feeling to it, but well, Thanks anyway!

Tight-rope is short and sweet. Everything else "light"has already been recommended.

yeah tbh Idk what I was thinking when I made that post( other than death notes Mc is named light and he wanted light) I must've not read the request well because I was tired or sething...none of those are even shounen... Try Kenichi the mightiest disciple. OK now that is made up for.
