actually, banana fish doesn't count as bl
Yh and there’s quite a few coming out next year as well
You do know that banana fish is a manga released in 1985, right? I don't watch yaoi anime but I do understand what you mean. Compared to older works, a bunch of bl mangas nowadays are getting less cliche or they play around the old stereotypical plot. I hope they get more and more progressive in the coming years. Nothing too outrageous, just less rape and more sweet fluff.
Is anyone else noticing the growth of the yaoi anime genre? In just two years we got shows like Banana Fish, Dakeretai, and now Given. I remember when yaoi anime used to be just porn and now they’re becoming real stories with actually gay characters and interesting plots to go with it(side note: Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakenai is getting a movie this winter and I’m so excited!!!!!)
