I am on date with the episodes and think that it’s a really wholesome show, the art style is a bit wired, but overall I love it so far (btw I think most of the people watching this are straight)

Hello fellow straight boi here. I think the show in it self is pretty good, the opening in my opinion slaps and there is nothing annoying or bad with the characters so far. I’m currently on episode 4 and am still enjoying it.

That's just like saying there are no gay people watching "straight" romance anime. I'm straight and I'm enjoying this one

Why would it be shameful to enjoy a romance between two boys? You don’t have to state your sexuality it’s ok to enjoy a bl stop being weird.

If you are from South East Asia, then I request you, when you will start an anime, you search if it is available on Muse Asia and Ani-one Asia, before looking through piracy websites

Non-straight person here, he’s not being weird. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, sure, and it can be frustrating when someone thinks there is. But liking something out of your comfort zone is where you start to realise that there might not be anything wrong with liking the stuff you like. Telling someone they’re being weird when they’re still learning can be alienating rather than progressive.

Anyway, I think people vastly underestimate the amount of non-straight people watching the show. Almost no one in the fan community I’m part of for the manga is straight. Lots of different kinds of people can like the same thing. I’m glad SasaMiya is helping people branch out more.

I've watched a couple BL anime and they are all so refreshing. I kinda like them more than opposite gender romance anime and with each of these I keep loving them even more. Sasaki to miyani is also a light BL and I'm loving it. Till now it's regressive but dk about upcoming episodes since I haven't read it's manga.

Overall I'll recommend for light hearted entertainment for all genders.
Like many others here, even my guess is that most fans are staright and female to be specific me (included). Also I don't think straight males are into BL anyway.

Straight men do watch BL.... It may not be a huge thing (perhaps it is but they hide it) but BL is just a romance genre... Just because it's two guys doesn't mean you're into guys.

I'm a straight female and I enjoy romance of all kinds ( bl, gl, & straight) as long as it's not rapey or weird I'm for it. So in my opinion it's not weird for men to be straight and enjoy bl, if anything it's amazing. To be secure with your sexuality is great.

Me, im very straight. So straight that sometimes my classmates used me as a ruler in art and craft class.

Its pretty cool. If u shut off the whole "thats gay" or whatever its a pretty wholesome show, im definitely enjoying it. Its cute how they get all flustered n shit. Honestly i don't care if its a love story btw two guys, or two girls or a straight couple for that matter. Something about two people slowly falling for each other, its just adorable.

Why is it that we have this argument that straight guys/girls can't enjoy something like BL or even Yuri for that matter.

If the material is good, then despite the BL or Yuri, it's good and vice versa. It's the same reason why we have a lot of Yuri shows than most.

A good romance is enjoyable no matter if it's straight, a yuri or a yaoi

Despite being gay I enjoy a lot of straight romances (like the currently airing Dress-Up Darling) and even yuri like Bloom Into You
Gay romance are more relatable to me than the straight ones tho, that's logical

I'm heterosexual male and I've been enjoying this anime. I think anyone who thinks that only gay dudes could enjoy Sasaki to Miyano, or is embarrassed that they're watching it, is insecure about their own masculinity or sexuality. I've watched a lot of typical romcom and SoL anime and it's refreshing to see one that examines the relationship between two male characters instead of a male character and a female character, or two female characters. I will also say however that doing psychedelics kind of destroyed my notion of gender and sexuality so that might be influencing my opinion.

Ironically, a gay YouTuber I've seen is NOT watching this show because it's not raunchy enough.

This is the one of the few BL anime that straight men will watch (after Doukyusei).

Ngl, it's super boring to me, I don't feel anything when watching it. And all those flowers everywhere, what's up with them lol However, I recognize the fact that the community needs such anime, I just now know for myself that I am definitely not the intended audience for them.

There's no reason for any straight person to watch a BL
Other than having curiosity about this kind of shows , there's absolutely no interest to watch it

The show felt more like a PG rating rather than a PG-13 rating for me. Besides the kids between two guys, there was no violence, bad language or fan service. I don’t know, maybe because same sex couples are still taboo unfortunately.

Well, my straight male friend really enjoyed full-fledged yaoi, and had to hide this from his girlfriend, and that was lo-ong after his short and un-enthusiastic bi-curious phase (he just wanted to be sure what exactly his orientation is by the time he was an adult, no matter the outcome). At least I could be aroused by raunchy stuff and/or relate to characters, but I never understood what he found in it.
During that time we didn't have more tame BL, and now we aren't on speaking terms, but I think he'd like this too.

Actually, I'm gay and I'm not sure I'll watch this. Not because of lack of smut, but because it's a slice of life, and I find the whole genre boring and frustrating. Shame on me, but can't do anything about it.

As a straight man who's never watched BL before, I loved Sasaki to Miyano. Seems like it did rather well, especially considering it's getting a movie and spin-offs; hopefully this success opens people's eyes to genres like BL that tend to be considered taboo. 8/10 and I'll definitely be watching the movie and spin-offs.
