Japanese BL ranked

The way Togawa switches from proper to intense, ugh. This BL even affords the luxury of having a beautiful message.

Finally, a BL that doesn't explain everything to me like I'm 5.

Tsundere x tsundere miscommunication, borderline toxic possessiveness, dom/sub undertones... but done right.

Cute parallels between the first and second romance. Also shows how people express their love differently and can be misinterpreted.

It's silly, (not overly) dramatic, romantic and full of dead fish kisses. The quintessence of BL. The only hallmark missing is bad acting.

What Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo should have been (minus the for-no-reason breakup drama).

Last minute OOC drama, baited kiss and second couple made me dock 2 stars.

Cute and funny.

Yeah we got dead fish kisses again but, I'm sorry, this was so funny??

They sold it. I was sold. Everything was on sale.

Oh yay, emotionally constipated people hurting each other, my favourite! (Jk, it was worth the pain.)

Best 4-episode long series I've ever watched and nothing bad happened at the end, nope, only happy feelings and cute moments hehe~ ⋆✧☆

The way the main character slowly got healthier thanks to his man tickled my maternal instinct just right.

The same miscommunication over and over again,  only to reach an anticlimactic ending where we’re directly back to square one, do not pass ‘Kiss’. It still made me ugly-cry over a burger patty so it did some things right, notably the casting of the loud half of the couple.

The crack turning into fluff at the end was the twist of the year.

Old Fashion Cupcake’s less subtle cousin (but with an actual kiss). Good acting, especially from the older half of the couple, and adorable at first but unfortunately fell prey to the shy-characater-overthinks-on-their-own-then-unilaterally-breaks-up-then-regrets-it-and-runs-to-the-love-interest-for-a-last-minute-confession Japanese BL trope.

Harmless fluff.

The son of the Old Fashion Cupcake couple and the son of the Cherry Magic couple have a cliché drama together with the best kissing scenes I've seen in a Japanese BL that thEY FILMED FROM 50 METERS AWAY OR IN THE FUCKING DARK FROM SOME REASON.

It's got good acting and okay production, but miscommunication as a plot device got old 10 years ago.

I liked it but something bothered me. Didn't care enough about it to remember what.

It tries to be wistful and deep and shit but idk, I just didn't buy it.

A few nice scenes, overall eh.

Borderline bromance but wack in a good way.

Not bad, but more coming of age than BL, which is unfortunately not what I’m looking for.

A bit cliché, a bit repetitive. I liked the young, brazen main character though.

"Uke" character was a bit annoying and needed a better haircut.

Just more of the same.

Adults dating like teenagers, if that's your thing.

Very good first few episodes then it sinks into a swamp of "girl rival", "jealous of the best friend", "jealous of the ex-boyfriend" and unrealistic miscommunication. 

Half the runtime of this series is that unrealistically innocent, infuriatingly infantilised, helpless blob of a  main character slowly mumbling his lines with 5 second pauses between each word, just to repeat the line another character just said but with an interrogation mark at the end. 

...

Still 7/10 for the other main character's gorgeous face.

You've got those cute actors and that cute premise and you do what with it?

Unoriginal plot, okay acting, non-existent kiss.

I'm sorry, I just really don't like that blond actor.

The only point of interest was the 4-5 gag moments.

Main characters have mismatched personalities (not in a good way) and literal instalove. Some scenes were very aesthetically pleasing though, good job filming crew.

/shrug

The exact same storyline crammed into a third of the runtime. The second couple gave me PTSD.

If they crank up the blur filter one % more that tiny main character might disappear in the background.

... Who?
