Seriously, while it sucks that BL Anime is 1 out of 100 I would still not recommend this. I can tell you how this is going to go, Number Two will resist and struggle with Number One for a bit before being wared down and giving in and just putting up with his advantage, a second later he will realize he is actually in 'love' with Number One and cue happy ending. Is it really that hard to have two grown men get into a relationship without the other being literally forced into it!? There is just SO MUCH of it in Yaoi Manga and even Yaoi Anime that it is scary. If a character says NO and another character ignores them and keeps touching them then that is Not Consensual. Now back to this Anime, it has RAPE in it. You will be entertained by the Sope Opera Drama that it has. At least that one is a little more mature and even has a sequel to it and an OVA. If you are new to BL are just go into it, then everything will be magical and new, BUT this plot has been done before and I would HIGHLY recommend Haru wo Daite Ita Manga instead of this Anime. If you are already familiar though, give it a shot! This show is geared more towards existing Yaoi fans who are looking for something spicy. I would recommend Gakuen Heaven or Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi first to see if you like it. Given the sexually-charged nature, this show may not be the best starting point if you are new to the genre. Yaoi tells gay love stories in a serious manner, and that is what makes it appealing. At the end of the day, Yaoi is appealing because there is virtually no depiction of gay romance in western media, and when there is, it is usually a campy joke character.
It is filled with unappealing and unrealistic recurring stereotypes/tropes, but if you can look past them, you will often see a sweet romance. The characters are fun and break the mold a bit-the angel-demon motif is unique and adds an interesting dynamic.Īs a gay guy, I am not the target demographic for the genre (mostly geared towards women), and will be the first to admit Yaoi is imperfect. Glad to see Crunchyroll adding a new Yaoi! This show is very sexual, but has plenty of cute and humorous moments to keep things lighthearted.
