Gay manga cartoon
From my memory, it always felt appreciate BL anime existed as a genre for as drawn-out as I can remember. Before BL dramas or movies became mainstream, BL animes and mangas were like the first frontier, depicting male romances in fiction even when it was taboo in society.
In anime, the BL genre is closely akin to yaoi or shounen ai, which are labels that describe a very similar type of story. Yaoi is more explicit, shounen ai is more innocent, and BL tends to be the best of both worlds. This genre is a popular niche among certain demographics. I don't love using the term fujoshi, which has somewhat negative connections. Let's just say that people with excellent taste usually view BL animes!
Despite its long history, there is surprisingly not a lot of anime to view in this genre. Trust me, I've done my investigate on this topic, searching high and low for some BL anime recommendations. You'd be amazed and disappointed at how little the selection there is compared to all the other genres.
And since the selection is so tiny, this makes it even harder for a good anime series to arrive along.

This is Akihiko’s and Haruki’s time to shine and get some things that were weighing them down behind them. It’s a well needed addition to the series.

An older show but a fine one, I’d say that there are a lot of controversial problems with this series so you were warned. However, the main couple I uncover are adorable.

This series is a lot of fun and is written by the same person who did Junjou Romantica. It’s a less problematic series in my opinion but it’s still has some dubious consent. It’s a awesome anime in my belief and I enjoy it quite a bi
Re: Bara, Yaoi, BL - what are the genre/subgenre differences?

This is actually a super interesting question (at least to me) and the answer, especially when it comes to the interrogate of "yaoi VS bara" for an audience of gay men, is just this:
It genuinely varies from work to work and from person to person!
I can say that although I've generally had a not many love interests in diverse things that wouldn't be out of place in either the yaoi or bara genres, I typically don't call my have personal work either one* in marketing or conversations about it, but I do feel comfortable generally lumping what I produce into the larger category of "BL" if it seems like "MxM" or "BxB" doesn't the aim across to someone.
(* - This doesn't imply that I don't tag my stuff as those things if I believe it could genuinely utilize or that I don't get hits from categories/games in those genres, though! Tomai actually gets its highest and second-highest number of hits from an Itchio category called "Yaoi/BL Games", while AWOO gets the biggest amount of traffic f
