BL Manga with Live-action Adaptations!
Manga
Live-action adaptations often leave a bad impression on anyone who has read or watched the source material. Many are even quick to say that they just should never exist. But I beg to differ—these kind of shows helps us look at things in another perspective. WILL your interpretation of [manga] be different if it is acted by people? I don't want to say live-actions are good, in fact I'm still cringing most of the time, but they give fresh air at least.
BL Manga with Live-action Adaptations! is exactly what it says. It specifically includes:
‣ Direct adaptations (said show has been adapted)
‣ Indirect adaptations (manga or novels that were created after the live-action).
‣ If both a manga and a novel are on MAL, the direct adaptation will be the only one added due to the interest stack limit.
‣ Upcoming adaptations
With the rise of BL manga/webtoon adaptations, the interest stack will be outdated at some point. Thus, I'll periodically be updating this during my free time. If I missed something, feel free to contact me here on MAL!

2gether is a Thai web novel that was later adapted into a Thai drama series. The series became a hit and had a large influence over Southeast Asian countries, particularly the Philippines. Its international success paved the way for it to have a manga--and a manhwa--adaptation.

SOTUS is a Thai web novel that is in the same case with 2gether--it's just that SOTUS came a bit earlier. Its drama series garnered a bit of controversy due to its portrayal of the SOTUS--a harsh system that is practically a rite of passage for freshmen.
