I grew up on a stable diet on monotonous Indian dramas, which stretch for a decade or so. As such, boredom made me seek new avenues and I started exploring Asian Dramas. My search for new content finally lead me to the “Boy’s Love” Universe and so far, it has been an overwhelming experience. After having worked as the Content Manager of popular BL website, Psychomilk, “The BL Xpress” is my attempt at spreading my wings. Follow me on this amazing journey as we explore the different genres of Asian BL!

Starting a decade ago with “Bangkok Love Story” I fell in love with the depictions of gay romance presented from other countries. In America where I live, I feel there is a mold most are cut from. But with the BL from other countries there seems to be limitless possibilities for how gay men and women can be portrayed. I quickly learned that the manga I read often had gay characters, specifically tailored for American audience translations. With that I fell head first into this interesting and diverse fandom and never looked back. Shows like “Love By Chance” and “What The Duck” hold special place in my heart because of their unique stories and characters that I just enjoy. Through them I discovered there were also BL novels which often act as the inspiration for later adaptations, so I’m often reading fan translations or buying books from MEB. “Blue Kiss” & “Dark Blue Kiss” are two of my favorites.

I am Dee and of course, love to read and watch BL. In 2018, I accidentally stumbled upon a Sotus fanfiction and from there I started my BL journey, since then I am in love with BL. I am so thankful for that fanfiction that introduced me to this beautiful world. My all-time fav. ships are Kornknock and KongpopArthit. When I am not watching or Reading BL, I usually watch Kdrama or Cdrama, or Anime. I love reading Chinese BL (Wangxian forever) and Japanese manga. Books are my first and forever love and Someday I wish to publish a book of mine. I am a huge supporter of the LGBTQ Community and I stand by the phrase Love is Love.

Writer/ReviewerI got into BL at a time when I was struggling to accept my own sexuality, and I never could’ve known that reading manga/manhwa at the time would lead to BL being such a big part of my life now. Just starting to traverse the world of acafandom and hoping to get to study the rise of BL fandoms full time!

Hello everybody! “I never thought I’d end up becoming a fan of the BL!” I was extremely impacted by the global crisis at that time (the time of pandemic), feeling isolated and alone, until I came across the Boys Love genre. I’m already employed, and BL is where I feel most at ease. I enjoy writing reviews and coming up with arbitrary responses to the various Boys Love episodes I’ve seen. I am a multi-fandom, and you are welcome to be my friend. BL series or movies from PH? TH? JPN? SKR? VIETNAM? USA? Name it! WOW! HAHA! Kidding aside, I am enjoying my life being a BL fan and I love to share my thoughts and positive energy with everyone I encounter.

I’m such a big fan of BL dramas. I started back in 2015 with Takumi-kun the series 5. Then I continued with Love sick the series season one and two. That’s how I fell in love with these dramas and this industry. I opened my instagram page in 2016 to share bl edits. In 2020, during the COVID-19 I opened my tiktok account to share my opinion about BL series and to share any news I could see on social media. In 2021, I turned my instagram page into a BL news account named industryb.b. And in 2023, I formed a team with these two girls below with whom I’m currently building BLSECRETS, our final project.

In 2022 I was introduced to BL drama, first by Semantic error, then by KinnPorsche, and since then, my passion for this genre and the industry itself has grown stronger. My curiosity drives me to be a real encyclopedia, I like to look at everything and learn everything so I started following many accounts on various platforms. This is how I was able to meet my colleagues and friends, and put together our dreams and ambitions for our BLSECRETS project.

I’m Vanessa, my love for BL started when I watched “Innocence: Bangkok Love Stories”, was immediately smitten by Max, went and found the rest of his work which included BL’s and then just discovered this whole new world of queer stories that I never imagined existed. Getting into the fandom, I thought it would all be casual viewing, however I soon realised that queer stories are extremely important especially now that there seems to be a rise in puritanical “thought leaders” who push back against queer stories and how people have chosen to tell these stories. I would like to keep my content mostly light-hearted though, a little escape from the doom scrolling we do on a daily basis and occasionally tackle controversial themes in a compassionate and graceful way. I’m quite fierce so I will thwart any trolls. Don’t do it. Love is Love is Love is Love and Protect Trans Lives.

I am in the sunset of my years with a treasure-trove of reflections about life. Experiencing BLs in a sense gives me an opportunity to relive what might have been, could have been, or perhaps wished it were. Writing about them is like taking a journey through my mind to what the infinite possibilities of love are like. While I cannot physically experience them all, I can still feel them all and write about how they impact me through my own journey to life’s natural conclusion. What a fun ride for me!

Always curious and never stop seeking, combining my favourite BL and my love for research into one. Interviewing authors, producers, actors has been a dream, and a dream to find out more. Learning about the story behind the storytellers, why, what, how. BL is more than just a fad, but it’s life, and it helps me explore my who I am as a person. Welcome to the fantastic world of BL.

I started my BL journey in 2019 when I watched History Trapped then in January of 2022 I created “BL Can’t Save You” a podcast dedicated to the BL community. Then I created my YouTube channel where I had been doing reactions to now creating content BL edits on TikTok and small recaps. There’s been a lot of changes in my life but I am grateful that I am able to still do what I love.Kristen

I was introduced to the BL genre through my daughter who recommenced the series Bad Buddy. From there, I found a whole new world of media to dive into and explore. Getting lost in stories from around the world is a beautiful and special thing to be able to experience. As an international fan, it has been a pleasure to be able to engage with fans from different parts of the world through my social media channels.

I’ve been into BL for quite a while, reading novels on Wattpad and all. Then, in 2016, I really delved into the world of BL Series because I was confused about my sexuality. I swear, back then, I was searching for ‘Gay Films’ on YouTube, and Love Sick The Series was the first one that got me hooked. Since 2017, I’ve been more and more into watching BL, even though there weren’t as many shows back then. Then, in 2018, I started a website called ‘BL ADDICT’ because I was seriously addicted to BL, but unfortunately, it only lasted a year. But in December 2020, I launched ‘CAFE BL,’ which is still running until
