Bl's of 2022

Censored Chinese BL (Tencent mini-drama). Heavily inspired by danmei transmigration tropes (master/disciple). The queer romance is clearly the core intention rather than queerbait, though explicit kisses are omitted due to censorship.Though this isn't a censored same-sex original adaption.

Censored Chinese BL short film (not based on an original explicit Danmei novel). Intended purely as a sweet high school queer romance between the two male leads rather than bromance/queerbait, though kisses and physical intimacy are omitted due to Chinese censorship.

Japanese live-action adapted from an original BL/Shounen-ai manga by Yoshie Kaoruhara. While the source manga and the "fake lovers" premise are genuinely BL, the TV network toned down the live-action adaptation into a crime bromance without kisses or explicit romance.
