Boys’ love, as a genre, has been getting rather popular in recent years. It seems there’s a new BL anime almost every season, and 2024 is already poised to begin bold with an omegaverse (if you know, you know) boys’ love story, Tadaima, Okaeri, coming out in the spring. It wasn’t very long ago, though, that it was incredibly rare to see a boys’ love anime in a seasonal lineup and even rarer to see one readily available on a mainstream anime platform like Crunchyroll. This is at least partially attributed to the fact that the boys’ love genre has a less-than-stellar reputation for being full of problematic tropes and stereotypes. However, series like Given and Sasaki and Miyano have found incredible success with anime fans and served as proof that there are plenty of fantastic stories that exist under the BL banner that don’t play into those negative aspects as much (or at all).
