  • Old Fashion Cupcake

    1. Old Fashion Cupcake

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes

    9.0

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

  • My Beautiful Man

    2. My Beautiful Man

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    8.5

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

  • My Personal Weatherman

    3. My Personal Weatherman

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.5

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

  • Love Is Better the Second Time Around

    4. Love Is Better the Second Time Around

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes

    8.0

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

  • Love Is a Poison

    5. Love Is a Poison

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    8.0

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

  • Our Youth

    6. Our Youth

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    8.0

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

  • Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!
    8.0

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

  • BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen

    8. BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen

    Japanese Special - 2023, 3 episodes

    8.0

    Cute and funny.

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

  • When It Rains, It Pours

    10. When It Rains, It Pours

    Japanese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes

    8.0

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

  • Eternal Yesterday

    11. Eternal Yesterday

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    8.0

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

  • Perfect Propose

    12. Perfect Propose

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes

    8.0

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

  • I Hear the Sunspot

    13. I Hear the Sunspot

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    8.0

    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.

  • A Man Who Defies the World of BL

    14. A Man Who Defies the World of BL

    Japanese Special - 2021, 1 episode

    8.0

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

  • My Love Mix-Up!

    15. My Love Mix-Up!

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    7.5

    Harmless fluff.

  • Cosmetic Playlover

    16. Cosmetic Playlover

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    7.5

    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.

  • At 25:00 in Akasaka

    17. At 25:00 in Akasaka

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    7.5

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

  • Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo

    18. Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes

    7.5

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

  • Depth of Field

    19. Depth of Field

    Japanese Drama - 2025, 6 episodes

    7.0

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

  • Candy Color Paradox

    20. Candy Color Paradox

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    7.0

    A few nice scenes, overall eh.

  • Kabe-Koji-Nekoyashiki-kun Desires to Be Recognized

    21. Kabe-Koji-Nekoyashiki-kun Desires to Be Recognized

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    Borderline bromance but wack in a good way.

  • Minato's Laundromat

    22. Minato's Laundromat

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    7.0

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

  • Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!

    23. Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

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

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

  • Naked Dining: Love, Life and Liberation

    26. Naked Dining: Love, Life and Liberation

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    7.0

    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. 

  • Takara's Treasure

    27. Takara's Treasure

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    7.0

    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.

  • Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave

    28. Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

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

  • In Kyana Aitsu ga Giri no Ani?!

    29. In Kyana Aitsu ga Giri no Ani?!

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

    6.5

    Unoriginal plot, okay acting, non-existent kiss.

  • Senpai, This Can’t Be Love!

    30. Senpai, This Can’t Be Love!

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

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

  • Sugar Dog Life

    31. Sugar Dog Life

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 9 episodes

    6.0

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

  • Mr. Sahara & Toki-kun

    32. Mr. Sahara & Toki-kun

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    5.5

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

  • Given

  • Love in the Air: Koi no Yokan

    34. Love in the Air: Koi no Yokan

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    4.5

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

  • Takara-kun & Amagi-kun

    35. Takara-kun & Amagi-kun

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    4.0

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

  • Blue Sky Complex

    36. Blue Sky Complex

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes

    3.5

    ... Who?
