Have you ever been unsure about which series to watch and scroll through your apps looking for one? I do this all the time and coincidentally I found these three shorts on Gagaoolala. They are all love stories, with a definitive plot. I wish there was more to it, but I am happy with the short format as well. Let me share my thoughts with you.

Adapted from the manga of the same name, Me no Doku Sugiru No Futari or Two Office Workers Who Are Too Poisonous For One’s Eyes is a series with each episode having only 5 minutes runtime. It focuses on the thoughts, fantasies and shipping life of a Fujoshi. Oto Todoroki (Usuda Asami), our protagonist is hardworking and reserved, though very adorable if you get to know her better.
A shy young man bumps into a complete stranger who experiences love at first sight. The object of his affection is someone experiencing years of pain and disappointment of the most callous kind. Maybe it’s time for a Seme (who seems like a dinosaur) to step in and shake things up. That’s the premise for “Dinosaur Love”, a BL based on the novel of the same name by Scriper; created by Ultimate Troop as Part One of their compilation stories in “Buddy Line Y Animal”.

Apologies for being four months late to this. Also, this is not exactly a spoiler-free zone.
The latest queer show on Netflix is a fun, cute, supposedly comfort show that takes you through a whirlwind of very superficial emotions but, as with any Netflix show, you’re left bracing yourself for its cancellation. Netflix has a history of setting up queer shows for failure, so I will not begrudge the cast or writers (to some extent) for putting out what they put out and will review the show on its merits. (WGA strong and pay the writers). I, however, cannot stand love triangles, and I will not apologize for that.
Wishes are acts of entitlement manifested by our desire to achieve something. A person wants something so much, to the point they feel it should be theirs. They pour their blood and sweat into attaining the impossible.

Life is easy to get lost inside. The aspirations in our youth and the path we choose don’t always go hand in hand. And while walking those paths, it can be easy to lose sight of where we started.
Two men meeting by happenstance would be an ordinary thing to happen, if not for the whipsmart writing and amazing chemistry between characters Joshua (Ellis Gage) and Andre (Sebastian Castro) in “Stay The Series”. The show is 7 episodes long and details Andre’s time in America. The bilingual Sebastian Castro articulates Andre’s naïveté quite well as the series focuses on him. Beside him is the cynical Joshua, who can be described as prickly. Andre navigates the city of Los Angeles, debuting his powerful short film and winning an award for it. The set for the award ceremony was shot using clever angles, so it gives the impression that there is more to it, as well as more people in attendance. Attention to details like that make or break the image before the viewer’s eye and fortunately that is taken into account in every scene of this show.
