Upcoming BL Anime
Shin Yaranai ka
| Release Year | Genre | Type of BL |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Boys Love, Comedy | BL Yaoi |
This rom-com follows Masaki, a regular high schooler, who bumps into a super hot auto mechanic named Takakazu in a park. One thing leads to another (you gotta watch to find out!), and their unexpected meeting turns into something hilarious and sweet.
Shin Yaranai ka is actually based on a manga, but the anime adds in some fun stuff from the same author’s other works, plus its own original story. So basically, it’s a fresh take on a BL classic!
Ateuma Chara no Kuse sh1te, Super Darling Ouji ni Chouai sareteimasu.
| Release Year | Genre | Type of BL |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | BL, Romance, Comedy | Subverted Character Roles |
In the mood for a new BL anime with a unique twist? “Ateuma Chara no Kuse shite, Super Darling Ouji ni Chouai sareteimasu.” (I know, that title is a lot to handle!) just premiered in 2024 and is shaking things up in the BL world.
Here’s the deal: a super charming prince falls head over heels for the character who usually loses the girl (or guy) in the end. Yep, you read that right. Forget the main love interest, this prince only has eyes for the “loser rival.” This unexpected twist throws the whole story into a fun mess, and you won’t be able to predict what happens next.
If you’re looking for a fresh take on BL anime with a surprising romance, this is the show for you!
Twilight Out of Focus
| Release Year | Genre | Type of BL |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | BL, Drama, Romance | Complex Friendship and Love |
Looking for a new BL anime to add to your watchlist? Check out “Twilight Out of Focus,” premiering in 2024! This one follows two college roommates, Mao and Hisashi, who set some ground rules to keep the peace. No outing each other’s secrets (especially Hisashi’s love life!), staying respectful of boundaries, and the all-important knock before entering – you know, the usual roommate stuff.
Things get interesting when the film club, where Mao hangs out, wants Hisashi to star in their new movie. It’s a boys’ love story, with a bad boy and a student council prez falling for each other. Mao tries to talk Hisashi out of it because of their first promise, but surprisingly, Hisashi is totally down.
Seeing Hisashi act all tough like the movie character makes Mao realize something – his feelings for his roommate might be more than just “bros being bros.”
Babanbabanban Vampire
| Release Date | Genre | Type of BL |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 (TBA) | Supernatural, Comedy, Romance | Vampire BL, Age Gap BL |
Babanbabanban Vampire” is the wild ride we never knew we needed! Meet Mori Ranmaru, a 450-year-old vampire living his best life as a part-timer at a public bathhouse. But here’s the twist – he’s on a mission to protect the virginity of his boss’s 15-year-old son, Rihito, because apparently, the blood of an 18-year-old virgin is the ultimate delicacy.
Things get complicated when Rihito hits puberty and falls head over heels for a classmate, prompting Ranmaru to launch “Operation Virginity Loss Prevention” – aka the most dramatic and hilarious attempt to keep Rihito pure. Will Ranmaru succeed, or will love prevail? We’ll have to wait until (maybe) 2025 to find out!
