I’ll be honest, very few Japanese BLs disappoint me. They tend to range from slow, comforting stories to narratives that either touch on important topics or border on the controversial. But no matter what story you get, there is almost always a deeper meaning woven into the series, one that may stand out in the moment or may hit you later after the series has aired.
So, it isn’t easy narrowing down a list of favorites. Rather than focus on what makes one drama better than another for me, I’ll list the dramas from 2024 I find myself recommending the most to others.
