RELATED: Wholesome BL Anime That Are Good for the Heart

  1. Yuri!!! on Ice

    Yuri!!! on Ice is one of the best-known contemporary BL anime. As such, it has, of course, been dubbed.

    It features Jerry Jewell (Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket) as Victor Nikiforov and Jessie James Grelle (Armin from Attack on Titan) in the role of Yuri Katsuki.

    Watch it for amazing ice sequences and a cute main couple.

  2. Love Stage!!

    Love Stage!! is a beloved BL anime that has been dubbed into English.

    It's a cute and fun comedy featuring a former child actor from a family of actors and TV producers who would prefer a quiet life as a manga artist.

    However, the anniversary project of a photoshoot in which he participated as a child thrusts him back into show business, and into the possibility of love.

  3. Given

    If you loved school band anime such as Bocchi the Rock! but would like to see a male cast and BL themes, check out Given.

    The main character Mafuyu Sato is an aspiring guitarist who joins a boy band, trying to master his instrument of choice while trying to understand the mysterious circumstances under which it was given to him.

  4. Sk8 the Infinity

    Sk8 the Infinity is an iconic sports anime about Reki Kyan, a passionate skateboarder.

    Unlike other entries in this list, Sk8 the Infinity doesn't officially hold the BL tag. As is the case with many queer-themed anime, its BL elements are very subtle.

    However, LGBTQ+ fans recognize Sk8 the Infinity as a queer-coded work.

    It has been dubbed with Matt Shipman (Chrome from Dr. Stone) as Reki Kyan and Howard Wang (Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin) as Langa Hasegawa.

  5. The Stranger by the Shore

    The Stranger by the Shore is a refreshing anime movie and one of the rare anime media to feature openly gay characters and the issues they experience.

    Shun Hashimoto is an openly gay writer whose family abandoned him. Now living in Okinawa, Shun falls in love with Mio Chibana, a reserved student.

    The relationship doesn't work out at the time, and Mio decides to leave for the mainland.

    So, what will happen when he returns three years later, ready to confess his love to Shun?

  6. No. 6

    No. 6 is a very special dystopian anime with a cute, openly gay couple.

    In a dystopian regime, the life of Shion changes forever when he meets and helps Nezumi, a resident of the wastelands outside of the main city.

    When they meet again years later, Shion and Nezumi team up to uncover the secrets of the deceptively perfect society.

  7. Sasaki and Miyano

    The story of Sasaki and Miyano starts when Yoshikazu Miyano's upperclassman, Shuumei Sasaki, saves him from a group of bullies.

    Not only is this a BL anime, but it also meta-textually engages with BL manga and boys who like reading them.

    Miyano is embarrassed about BL manga, a genre with a largely female demographic, but Sasaki, who is clueless about otaku culture, unexpectedly shares his interest.

    Some people don't like the anime due to the teasing aspect, but for others, the geek aspect makes it worth it.

  8. Heaven Official's Blessing

    Heaven Official's Blessing is a Chinese donghua that has been translated into both Japanese and English.

    The series features Xie Lian, a disgraced prince who ascended to the realms of heaven when young but was subsequently banished back to the mortal world.

    He ascends another time, only to be banished again. Returning for the third time in disgrace, he meets a demon who rules ghosts and terrifies heaven, and who has had an interest in him for quite some time.

  9. This Boy Can Fight Aliens

    While not as highly rated as other entries in this list, This Boy Can Fight Aliens is a fun option for those who don't have much time on their hands.

    With just one OVA episode, This Boy Can Fight Aliens combines romance and supernatural elements, as it follows Kakashi, a boy who is humanity's only hope against alien invaders.

  10. Gravitation

    Once again, Gravitation isn't the most highly-rated work on this list, but since it's quite hard to find dubbed BL anime, this one might apply to viewers looking for an older-style series.

    Like Love Stage!!, Gravitation features show business themes and a pair who is constantly annoyed with each other, with the main character denying that he may be falling in love.
