Papa Datte, Shitai: I'm a Father, But I Want to Do it.

Category: Series/ Movie (Depends on where you watch)

Asumi Kouya is a fourth-year college student who works as a housekeeper. Kouya starts working for single father Naruse Keiichi, and a relationship develops between the two.

Mori no Kuma-san Toumin-chuu: Caressing the Nipples of My Hibernating Bear

Category: Series/ Movie (Depends on where you watch)

Nowa the bear lives in the forest and adopts a puppy named Airi. Before going into hibernation, Nowa was worried that Airi wouldn't wean. A few months after starting his hibernation, Nowa wakes up with a pleasant sensation from Airi, now an adult looking dog, licking his nipple saying, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Sensitive Por**graph

Category: OVA

For four young men, love and intimacy are in the air, even though they may not be aware of it. Sensitive Pornograph holds within it two tales of sexual romance for two different couples of men. The first is a tale between two manga artists, Seiji Yamada and Sono Hanasaki. Both are familiar with each other's work, though upon meeting each other, Seiji is shocked to find out that Sono is actually a man, ten years his senior. Love quickly blossoms between the two, but will soon be tested when Seiji begins to hear rumors about Sono's past sexual exploits.

In the second tale, Koji Ueno is a part-time pet sitter, hired to take care of a rabbit named Aki for a new client. To Koji's complete surprise though, not only is there no rabbit in the house, but the only thing in the apartment is a bound and gagged man in the closet who says that he is Aki. More troubling than this is that Aki informs Koji that they are both in danger of upsetting the client, and the only way for Koji to get out safely is for them to make love together.

Two stories, four men, and the one emotion of love that unites them all in the new twists their lives have taken.

These are essentially *orn with plot, they don't have much substance to them though, they focus more on the... aesthetics. This "Recommendation" is more of just information, I'm letting you guys know these exists and are available for anyone who is interested. Be warned though these are very explicit.

Recommendation # 13

Hyperventilation

Category: Series, Animated

18+: yes

Lee Myeongyi has lived his whole life with pneumothorax—a collapsed lung. He despises the attention he draws at school with his bouts of loud hyperventilating, extended coughing fits, and exemption from physical education as well as military service. Whether suffering through the curiosity or ire of his classmates, Myeongyi is left feeling like a complete outcast. However, the class president Han Seonho often shows Myeongyi kindness and understanding. With his friendly gestures and handsome looks, he becomes Myeongyi's first crush.

Nine years later, Myeongyi attends his high school reunion for only one reason: to see Han Seonho once again. He holds a tiny glimmer of hope about the other man's feelings for him—but after seeing the bright gold ring on Seonho's left hand and listening to their classmates' prying questions, that hope is quickly dashed. Excusing himself to go take a smoke, regardless of the state of his lungs, Myeongyi is followed outside by Seonho. Unexpectedly, that marks the beginning of their illicit love affair.

It's a really short series the whole thing lasts about 20ish minutes, but I never said I was a child of God, so I enjoy it for... other reasons.

Personal Rating: 7.8/10

Recommendation # 12

Bronze Zetsuai 1989

Category: OVA, Animated

18+: No

Koji Nanjo, a young rock star, falls in love with soccer player Takuto Izumi. Koji eventually learns that Izumi's mother killed his father out of severe and intense love. Izumi took all the guilt for his father's murder and refuses to go pro because of fear that his past will be discovered by the media. Izumi detests Koji's company and encouragement and severely dislikes the attention from the press, but Koji cannot stay away for he soon realizes that his love for Izumi is very similar to the love that Izumi's mother felt for his father.

This is my definitely favorite old obscure yaoi anime, although the story is ok, I would say what really pulls me in into this anime is the character Nanjo Koji, he is an outstanding character in terms of him being the greatest possessive/obsessive seme of all times, and I will die on this hill! It's not everyone's cup of tea, but Bronze is certainly mine.

Recommendation # 11

Ai no Kusabi: The Space Between

Category: OVA, Animated

18+: No

On the planet Amoi, a person's status is primarily dictated by the color of their hair. This society is run by the AI supercomputer known as Jupiter and its governing board of perfect blondes, referred to as Blondies, living in the capital city of Tanagura. However, the darker-haired humans live out their lives in the golden "pleasure city" of Midas and its outlying slum Ceres. They are known as "mongrels," and most cannot progress out of the slums.

Three years ago, a boy named Riki disappeared from the slums of Ceres. Once the revered leader of the gang Bison, a sudden encounter with an elite Blondie, Iason Mink, forced Riki to abandon everything he had cultivated. The boy was snatched from his home and forced to become Iason's pet. Riki has spent the past three years enduring numerous blows to his pride, his time in Tanagura nothing but a form of torture.

Now that Riki has returned, Bison once again rallies behind him. The risk he finds himself in, however, is much greater than ever before there is always someone ready to sell him out.

This is one of my favorite old obscure yaoi anime's, it starts out really toxic at first, but the character development is everything! The world is really interesting, and the romance is... complicated but God dammit does it deliver on the angst. I've tried finding a manga that's been translated to English but I've had no luck, let me know if any of you can find anything.

Recommendation # 10

Given

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

Tightly clutching his Gibson guitar, Mafuyu Satou steps out of his dark apartment to begin another day of his high school life. While taking a nap in a quiet spot on the gymnasium staircase, he has a chance encounter with fellow student Ritsuka Uenoyama, who berates him for letting his guitar's strings rust and break. Noticing Uenoyama's knowledge of the instrument, Satou pleads for him to fix it and to teach him how to play. Uenoyama eventually agrees and invites him to sit in on a jam session with his two band mates: bassist Haruki Nakayama and drummer Akihiko Kaji.

Satou's voice is strikingly beautiful, filling Uenoyama with the determination to make Satou the lead singer of the band. Though reticent at first, Satou takes the offer after an emotional meeting with an old friend. With the support of his new friends, Satou must not only learn how to play guitar, but also come to terms with the mysterious circumstances that led him to be its owner.

Absolute masterpiece of an anime not only is the romance swoon worthy, but the music is so good, I would give anything to see that iconic singing scene again, never sobbed so hard.

Note: There is a live action version of this too!

Recommendation # 9

Sasaki to Miyano: Sasaki and Miyano

Category: Series. Animated

18+: No

Shy and easily flustered Miyano harbors an embarrassing secret - he is a "fudanshi", a boy who likes boys' love manga. Intrigued, the clueless delinquent Sasaki requests to borrow one, marking a shift in their strange dynamic.

This is a really cute and wholesome series, it's definitely one of my recent favorites, they are super cute together and whomever voiced Sasaki deserves a raise cause gawd damn!

Personal Rating: 9/10

Recommendation # 8

Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu: I'm being harassed by the sexiest man of the year

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

Takato Saijou has held the title of "Sexiest Man of the Year" for five years running. He is an accomplished actor, with 20 years of experience under his belt, and is aware his good looks are well above average. Proud of his career, Takato regards the title as an appropriate indicator of his success.

But when his reign is ended by acting newbie Junta Azumaya, who debuted only three years ago, Takato's initial shock gives way to jealous hostility. Even in the new drama that he has been cast in, Junta seems to have suddenly surpassed him; snatching Takato's usual spot of lead actor, Junta continually manages to get on his nerves. Most infuriating of all are the bright smile and kind words that accompany everything Junta does.

All this animosity comes to a head, however, when Junta catches Takato in a rather vulnerable drunken state. Endangering his own public image, Takato confronts the junior actor with harsh words and angry comments—an opportunity Junta takes every advantage of. With the famous actor Takato Saijou now on video picking a fight with a co-star, Junta has the perfect means to blackmail him.

Asking the price of his enemy's silence, Takato is shocked to find that his motivation lies far from advancing his career; instead, Junta's terms are those that can only be realized in the bedroom!

Although it's not 18+ it's still really spicy, they are not my favorite dynamic, however the anime was still fun to watch.

Recommendation # 7

Hitorijime My Hero: My Very Own Hero

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

High schooler Masahiro Setagawa is a fairly helpless delinquent, so much so that the neighborhood bullies use him to run their errands. His life changes when he meets high school teacher Kosuke Oshiba.

A fair warning, there is an age gap but if you can look past that it's a cute story and the side couple is really cute too!

Personal Rating: 8.6/10

[itsfujoshibitch]

Recommendation # 6

Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru: The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

Kousuke Mikado has been able to see spirits for as long as he can remember. Extremely terrified of them, he tries to suppress his ability by wearing glasses. One day, while working at a bookstore, he catches the attention of Rihito Hiyakawa, an eccentric medium who is convinced that they were destined to meet each other. Thanks to Hiyakawa's antics, Mikado is thrust into the world of the paranormal, with the former promising that he will shed his fears if Mikado stays with him. As they continue to work together, the two discover a series of malicious curses that all point to the same name—"Erika Hiura." What is this person's goal, and how do they connect with Mikado and Hiyakawa?

This anime is definitely VERY fruity however it does the "will they, won't they" trope, which makes it seem like a bromance more than a romance, but the plot is really interesting and the chemistry between the main leads is really good. I suggest reading manga, it's way more obvious with the pining.

Note: There is a live action version of this too!

Personal Rating: 8.5/10

Where to watch Yaoi or BL? (Live Action)

Bilibili (Free!, Hosts many Thai BL's, you can find BL's from other counties here but it's mostly Thai BL's that you'll find here.)

Recommendation # 5

Love Stage!!

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

With a father who's a singer, a mother who's a movie star, and an older brother Shougo who's the lead vocalist for the super-popular band "The Crusherz," Sena Izumi-an otaku college student-is the only dull one born into this super-famous and talented family. He loves "Magical Girl LalaLulu" and is working hard to become a mangaka, but one day he winds up appearing in a TV commercial he just can't turn down. There, he's reunited with Ichijou Ryouma, the super-popular young actor he costarred with on a project ten years prior.

This is such a good and wholesome anime and it's funny sometimes too! I love the relationship between the two main leads, I would say it's a good BL to start with if you are a baby Fujoshi.

Personal Rating: 7.9/10

Recommendation # 4

Hybrid Child

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

A collection of three romance stories depicting the relationship between Hybrid Children - androids that grow depending on the love and care given to them, and their owners.

Prepare to grab tissue paper because these episodes are really heartbreaking. There are four episodes in total and each is just as sad as the one before. The world building is really interesting, and the romance hurts so good.

Personal Rating: 7.5/10

Recommendation # 3

Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto desu: This Boy is a Professional Wizard

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

Chiharu is the wizard in charge of the magical crisis counter-measure division. His days are stressful until he meets Toyohi at his favorite bar, and the two hit it off. The two begin a budding relationship, until an accident at work causes Chiharu to devote more time to his work and begin to push Toyohi away.

This is the fourth episode in the same series as "This Boy Caught a Merman", Though I find this couple's story way better and combined with the amazing animation, it's got to be my favorite episode. There are two more episodes I haven't mentioned, however I won't be recommending them. I'll list them below if you want to check them out though.

Personal Rating: 7.9/10

Kono Danshi, Sekka ni Nayandemasu: This Boy Suffers from Crystallization

Kono Danshi, Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu: This Boy Can Fight Aliens!

[itsfujoshibitch]

Recommendation # 2

Kono Danshi, Ningyo Hiroimashita: This Boy Caught A Merman

Category: Series, Animated

18+: No

Shima Kawauchi was taken in by his kind grandfather following the divorce of his unloving parents. His grandfather passes away in due time, leaving Shima all alone. Consumed by grief, he cries by the oceanside at night when an accident causes him to fall into the water. Unable to swim, Shima nearly drowns but is saved by an incredibly handsome merman. Seeing Shima's emotional state, the merman—who Shima names Isaki—insists that Shima take him home until he fully recovers. However, as they settle into their space together, the two start to form a bond that transcends both species and gender.

This is the first episode in the series, each episode in the series is different and focuses on different couples, the art style is so unique and beautiful! The story is a bit cheesy and cliche.

Personal Rating: 7/10

[itsfujoshibitch]

Recommendation # 1

Dou Kyu Sei: Classmates

Category: Movie, Animated

18+: No

A relationship between two high school second years, Licht Sajo, who is an honor student, and Hikaru Kusakabe, who plays in a rock band.

I loved this movie, the animation is so expressive and fluid, however the pacing is a bit slow sometimes. The anime portrays their relationship so well, I wish it was an animated series! If you wish to see more of these two there is a manga you can read by the same name!

Personal Rating: 9.2/10

Where to read Yaoi or BL?

Want something with only words?

Wattpad (Good place for beginners, however most books and fanfictions won't be that good, although you can find some hidden gems.)

AO3 (Holy grail of fanfiction and Originals, 8 times out of 10 the story will be immaculate.)

Want something with pictures and words?

Webtoon (Some of the webtoon's you find may be locked behind a "coin wall" where you have to pay for coins or wait until it's unlocked, you won't find anything 18+, however you can find amazing and wholesome BL's on there.)

Tapas (Same coin system as webtoon, different types of comics.)

Lezhin (Also has a coin system with most of its comics, however Lezhin includes 18+ content.)

Tappytoon (Very similar to Tapas)

**Unofficial Manga Sites**

Mangago (Completely free! includes 18+ content uncensored)

BATO.to (Also free but has a lot of annoying ads, 18+ included.)

Novelcool (Free, 18+included, however unreliable.)

Yaoimangaonline.com (Free, 18+ included, you can find many obscure BL manga's on here, you can also watch BL anime's here!)

There are so many more, but these are the main ones I know about, if you have any questions, I am more than willing to answer them.
