Spirit Pact is a funny BL donghua that had made waves when it first came out. The two main leads have so much chemistry and the animation was pretty dang good too. I think my favorite part though is the world building in all of it. It’s just a great BL story and that’s the good bit. Definitely watch this.

This adorable series is about a guy who has cat characteristics and a guy who makes sure to help him keep it a secret. It’s probably the sweetest slice of life I’ve ever seen. With the little hints of BL here and there it’s just a sickeningly adorable show. Definitely a must watch!

This series is a pretty fun magical story about a man who everyone thinks is weak. It’s fun to watch him prove everyone wrong in thinking that he’s weak and it’s also fun to watch him slowly grow strength. It’s a pretty good series if you’re interested in weak to strong power dynamics in the series.

This series is something I’ve found rather interesting although it’s not something that I’ve watched yet. It’s only ten episodes so it won’t really take long to watch and the romance tag interests me too.
Liang Bu Yi
No Doubt In Us
ONA, 2021,
24 eps
Me:-
Author:-
The cover photo and the fact that the male lead looks soft is really appealing me to this series. It’s seems rather fluffy instead of one of those more sadistic love stories. It’s seems cute and it even has twenty-four episodes and a second season instead of just the regular twelve and one season. I’m planning to watch this as soon as possible.
Wu Dong Qian Kun

This series is based on a novel in the same universe as Doupo Cangqiong. I had read a bit of the manhua years back and so because I finished the novel for Doupo Cangqiong a year or so ago, I plan to watch this instead of reading this series’ novel. It seems like a good time.
Meng Qi Shi Shen
Cinderella Chef
ONA, 2018,
12 eps

This cute donghua is another romance like Tong Ling Fei. It’s a silly and sweet story donghua about a woman who was a talented chef transported to imperial China inside the body of a woman they call useless. She’s kidnapped and more shenanigans ensue. It’s pretty funny and it’s also really adorable. I prefer Tong Ling Fei but it’s still worth the watch.

Of course I’m going to watch this someday, I mean just look at it. The long black-haired male lead and the whimsical, definitely a romance, atmosphere surrounding them is an immediate must for me as well. I need all of the romance my grubby little hands can get on.

20 eps

Author:-
This BL is one that I’ve been planning to watch for a long time. One day, I’m actually going to sit down and watch it and I’m sure I’ll love every minute of it. It seems to be a more political series instead of an action packed one or a fantasy filled one which doesn’t seem too bad to me. It’s gonna be great I’m sure. Well… we’ll see later.
