"The second Shounen Ai manga ever published"
Alternate Story: Thomas no Shinzou
Thomas no Shinzou (1974) - It was so beautifully written, so deep and full of all kinds of emotions. It's really a masterpiece! An essential, must-read classic!
> I also want to recommend the film "Les amitiés particulières" (based on the homonymous novel by Roger Peyrefitte), which, together with some great literary works, also inspired Hagio Moto to write Thomas no Shinzou.
The live-action "Summer Vacation 1999" (1988) is loosely based on Thomas no Shinzou - Note: A female cast was used to
A Cruel God Rules in Heaven - MASTERPIECE, an Award-winning work by Hagio Moto, one of the pioneers of BL. In fact, this deep and mature story is a valuable icon of psychological BL for me.
Content: Child Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Rape, Drugs, Dark Ambience, Mind Break, Sadistic Pedophile, PTSD, Murder, Prostitution -
Maybe not everyone can take such a heavy story, it could be disturbing for someone, but I think it depicts, in an exemplary way, those harsh aspects (more in my comment)
BL || Step-brothers || Tragedy
୧୨ Fate was cruel...I cried my eyes out. But this story is tragically beautiful, a masterpiece for me, and this is actually Takaguchi Satosumi's first BL work~
1985
//Dropped// - I hope it'll be picked up again...
Ova (1992): https://kissanime.ru/Anime/Boyfriend
One of the best BL stories •♡• So many emotions...such a passionate story!
Released in 1989, Zetsuai is one of the greatest icons of BL and for me it's a masterpiece in this category. Such a desperate, absolute and everlasting love indeed. Great psychological BL!
-Sequel: Bronze
-Side Story: Bad Blood
This is actually a long music-themed series...I'd love to read the whole story!
