THE END OF THE WORLD, WITH YOU – Futatabi – HIROBA (w/ai otsuka)
The End of the World, With You was such a beautiful surprise. I absolutely loved this series. Everything from the story to the acting to, of course, the music was just top-notch and amazing
2023 has been a banner year of for BL Dramas. With so many great dramas to choose from (and there are a LOT) I figured I would make a short list of my favorites so far.
There is something charming and irresistible when two people are in a “are they or aren’t they in love?” charade. Bromances sell this tantalizing notion and bank on the slow burn chemistry between their main characters. We are led to believe that there is more to their so-called brotherhood while their actual relationship status is kept under wraps. In today’s feature, we will be talking about some of the best mentioned Bromances in the Boys’ Love industry, the ones that kept you invested in their unpredictable love lives!
Brotherhood. Love. Friendship. Loyalty. All these are synonymous with bromance, a genre that develops an intricate relationship between its leads, full of tension and undeniable chemistry. It’s a beautiful thing to watch on screen. Whether the creators behind them mean to express the depth of love between friends or whether they need to veil true romance behind a protective wall to avoid censorship and traditional expectation, the truth remains that bromances are still about love.
2022 was a GREAT year for the BL Drama. From the supernaturally sweet Vice Versa to the rough and tumble trouble of KinnPorsche there was a plethora of series to choose from. While this list is far from complete, these are my top 10 favorite series in no particular order, except for the top 3 spots, which also have no particular order but are my three most favorite series of the last year.
