I think you will be interested in reading the manga on the basis of which this anime was made. The ending quite clearly teases at least one BL pairing. AdviŃe? Well, if you haven't watched it yet, Prince of Tennis, Saint Seiya and Hitman Reborn. These are the so-called shows of "bishonen JUMP syndrome", where the editors of Shonen Jump promoted the series of BL-bait-ish shonens to attract a female audience. The Prince of Tennis went so far that at one point the author began to parody himself by using yuri tropes in the dynamics of the male characters. Hitman Reborn was one of the first battle shonens with a dominant female audience. So much so that fandom destroyed any attempts by the author to add hot female characters and her next work, which you can see right now, is about two male detectives.
I don't know if you've watched this show, but there is a reverse harem about a desperate fujoshi that was written by an experienced BL author. And the anime gives some meta commentary on Japanese BL culture.
But getting back to your stack, at least 2-3 of the shows in it are completely canon BL but don't have a tag due to the writers not considering it a core or defining theme. For example, G-Witch doesn't have a yuri tag due to the writers' ridiculous attempts to make it a spoiler or secret. Because of which a lot of people were really deceived and decided that it was still an intrigue, lol.
