| Studio Deen is good at these kinda slice of life anime, so, it won't be a disappointment. |
| OMG, I can't believe we're getting a BL anime and not a movie! I have recently added the manga which I will have to catch up on asap, and since it's highly rated, my expectations are rising. Really looking forward to this! RPC7778 said: Casting Yuuma Uchida is very expected. LMAO, that's what I thought too! He's already voiced Ue in Given. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Why is it always the super delinquent-ish boy x cute princess one ? |

I don't think we should be putting gender roles in gay couples, That is a very good thing you just said here, now go and tell that to the BL industry. Maybe theyll change and give us an actual gay characters and not fantasy characters. |

| Nice. TokenBoy8 said: He doesn't, dude just whines about BL and fujo all the time in every thread.Swagernator said: That is a very good thing you just said here, now go and tell that to the BL industry.

| is the top menu item on their website broken? it keeps taking you back to their home page. |
| Shirai Yuusuke and Saitou Souma? I was already excited for the anime, because I love the manga, but this makes it even better! Can't wait! |

memery said: From the director of 'Super Lovers' and 'Super Lovers 2' comes this sugar-sweet high school romance about two polar opposites finding each other. so they dumped this project off to the pedo incest guy. oof. |
Bernrika said: Nice. TokenBoy8 said: He doesn't, dude just whines about BL and fujo all the time in every thread.tell me you have not read sasaki to miyano without telling me you have not read sasaki to miyano Of course, personal attack is a very good argument, but you still haven't answered that this is another BL with seme and uke. |

RobertBobert said: Of course, personal attack is a very good argument, but you still haven't answered that this is another BL with seme and uke. What exactly do you want the response to be? We're living in a heteronormative world, and heteronormative stories involving people of the same gender will continue to exist for as long as that statement holds true. It's silly to pretend that these dynamics don't exist in a large portion of real-life gay couples as well, anyway. But to add to that, the orange-haired guy is far from being a delinquent, as @Swagernator implied above - he's very much a cinammon roll, even more so than the shorter one. And while the original manga does play into some BL stereotypes, I feel like it does so in a more self-aware way than its counterparts. It's a very cute slice of life, with no power imbalances or any form of abuse. There is no explicit content either, so you're really the one assigning the roles of seme and uke to them based on nothing but their physical appearance. |
| one my favourite bl manga! this will be fricking ✨ b e a u t i f u l ✨ |
| I don’t know why people who don’t read BL think they’re well-versed enough in the genre to have a legitimate conversation that doesn’t just go-around in circles. While it hasn’t exactly been made clear on MAL, Sasaki to Miyano isn’t even a BL, technically - the mangaka has made it perfectly clear that Sasamiya is a shoujo. People looking to buy the manga in Japanese bookstores are confused and surprised when they find it shelved in the shoujo section. So the entire discussion about it BEING BL and containing seme/uke tropes is naturally moot. Furthermore, the fact of the matter is that neither Sasaki nor Miyano fit these labels of seme and uke that people keep trying to pigeon-hole them into. It’s frankly laughable that people who haven’t even read it have already decided which one tops and which one bottoms based on their faces and height. Or at least I’m guessing that’s how they’ve judged them, considering . Either way, to make a snap judgment about something you haven’t read and likely have no intention of reading or watching without even being well-versed in the subject matter you’re trying to argue is a little pointless. That said, I’m looking forward to this adaptation and I’m glad the Drama CD cast is reprising their roles. I can’t imagine anyone else voicing Sasaki or Miyano if not Shirai-san and Souma-san 💕 |

While it hasn’t exactly been made clear on MAL, Sasaki to Miyano isn’t even a BL, technically - the mangaka has made it perfectly clear that Sasamiya is a shoujo. How exactly are shoujo and BL mutually exclusive? Shoujo refers to works that are aimed at younger women, while BL is an umbrella term that encompasses every genre whose main focus is the relationship between two men. BL (or, more specifically, shounen ai) literally started off as a subgenre of shoujo in the 70s, and while it has definitely evolved into its own thing and there are now BL-dedicated magazines that publish these titles, the target audience is still women, for the most part? It makes no sense to say that something isn't a BL because it is a shoujo. TokenBoy8 said: however straight women have the ability to write stories that can represent us due to their proximit to the lgbt community, something most straight men do not have, i didn't agree on them saying straight romance was unrealisitic i agreed on them with the fact that there is hypocrisy going on, also most female bl mangakas are bisexual women Lol, what? I have a hard time believing some of these BL mangakas have ever interacted with an LGBTQ+ person in their entire lives. Obviously, that's just speculation on my part based on the works and portrayals of gay men that I have read, but being a women doesn't automatically make you an ally. Also, considering how private the majority of mangakas are, you literally have no way of knowing whether or not most BL mangakas are bisexual women. I have no idea where you pulled that from. |

It makes no sense to say that something isn't a BL because it is a shoujo. Yes, I am well-aware of the history of BL and how it began as a subgenre of Shoujo. And I’m fully aware that in the west, practically any relationship between two men in a manga makes it BL. My point was that the AUTHOR HERSELF does not call it BL and therefore it is NOT a BL, hence why it is shelved in the Shoujo section and not the BL section. It is why, in this case, I said Sasamiya was a shoujo and not a BL, and clearly drew a line between them. In Harusono-san’s own words, it’s a Boy’s LIFE manga. It’s because of this distinction that people weren’t even sure a romantic relationship would develop between the two titular leads. BL manga is often laden with tropes that make it specific to BL and Sasamiya is free from most of them or inverts them instead. Why on EARTH does a manga that pertains to two boys possibly falling in love have to make it a BL. Shounen manga don’t have to have a romance tag to include romance in it - that’s just ridiculous. Would you consider Shimanami Tasogare, Ao no Flag or Koi to Uso BL just because they depict relationships between men? Well, surprise! They aren’t. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a manga not technically being a BL and still contains a relationship between two men. It normalizes the existence of LGBT+ relationships in spaces they haven’t traditionally existed in. |

Why on EARTH does a manga that pertains to two boys possibly falling in love have to make it a BL. Shounen manga don’t have to have a romance tag to include romance in it - that’s just ridiculous. Ok? Then you should have said from the start that the author chooses to refer to Sasaki to Miyano as a boys' life manga, and not a boys' love one. It's still a ridiculous statement, but it's not as ridiculous as saying that it is not BL because it is a shoujo. And I guess it's the author's wish. Still, Sasaki to Miyano is a manga in which the main focus is the growing relationship between two boys. There is hardly a consistent plot beyond that - aside from the growing relationship between (surprise, surprise!) two other boys. There's nothing about Sasaki to Miyano that warrants its separation from the BL genre. There is a shit ton of fluffy BL out there that don't adhere to the tropes that BL is so often associated with. Subverting a trope or two within a genre doesn't mean that a work suddenly stops belonging to that genre, either. It's not so ludicrous for someone to refer to it as a BL. jadedgalaxy said: Shounen manga don’t have to have a romance tag to include romance in it - that’s just ridiculous. Sure, but if that shounen manga is heavily focused on romance, then you best believe that it will be tagged as romance. But feel free to prove me wrong. I'll stand corrected. jadedgalaxy said: Would you consider Shimanami Tasogare, Ao no Flag or Koi to Uso BL just because they depict relationships between men? Well, surprise! They aren’t. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a manga not technically being a BL and still contains a relationship between two men. It normalizes the existence of LGBT+ relationships in spaces they haven’t traditionally existed in. Shimanami Tasogare is a coming of age story about a gay boy who learns to accept himself and finds comfort within a space where other LGBTQ+ people exist. Sure, he's in love with another boy, but they never get officially together and that is far from being the main focus of the manga. So, clearly, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to refer to it as a BL. It's an actual LGBTQ+ manga, and not a tale about two straight boys who happened to fall in love with each other - like Sasaki to Miyano. It makes no sense to compare the two. I haven't read the other two manga that you mentioned so I can't comment on them. I think normalizing the existence of LGBTQ+ relationships outside of BL would be a great thing. I just don't see how exactly Sasaki to Miyano is doing that. |
| Good. I want an amazing BL like Given. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| The teaser visual looks nice, I hope this anime will be good. |

I'm pretty sure I saw you in the re main fourm calling it bl bait because it had fanservice for women, like a whole ecchi section for men doesn't exist. It seems like you don't like bl, so why do you keep inputting your opinion on a gente you don't like?Of course, personal attack is a very good argument, but you still haven't answered that this is another BL with seme and uke. I like how you yourself came up with that I don’t like BL, so that later you’ll be indignant that I’m talking about shows that I don’t like. MAL doesn't write about BL that often, so "being on every topic" isn't a big deal lol. And I also don’t understand how fanservice in such shows denies fanservice in male-targeted shows? Did I say something about this somewhere? |

Is it that difficult considering how rarely BL anime is produced these days? |

TinaTunaTina said: RobertBobert said: fujo bait is an insult yes, the term itself it usually used by those who criticize female that like bl. So yes I do take it as an insult, because nobody uses it in a positive light. Also I'm not sure what you mean about bl anime not being made a lot, because we got three movies this year, a series next year, and given was just made a year ago, while I barely see any gl content being made. Most gl is hentai anyways so I guess that's good lol.Does calling something fujo bait mean to criticize anime? Could the person who praised several BL manga and calling Yuri on ICE! good anime, dislike BL? Is it that difficult considering how rarely BL anime is produced these days? I do not see anything offensive in this. For example, Moriarty is an absolute, shameless fujo bait, but I love this show, also because of the fact that its male characters are not afraid to be sexy and beautiful. I also don't see anything abhorrent about a woman's sexual interest in a man's body. Women also have libido and I am disgusted with attempts to turn women into innocent maidens, whose intimacy is considered pure even if they sleep with other women. |
