10 BL Boys I Want Carnally

Upon making this list I have discovered I do not want carnally a lot ot people. I want a lot of boys to be wanted carnally by other people instead xD

But I somehow managed. I am certainly weak to pretty faces.

Here goes @waitmyturtles!

He has a je ne sais quoi that is SO attractive

Is it the mask? Is it the face? Is it both? Idk, but he does things to me

His whole face. Also crime is attractive

I might have a type

Tinn, my beloved

His whole vibe in Moonlight Chicken was *chef's kiss*

Korn from Cupid's Last Wish is the Earth I'd like to know carnally

Togawa, Togawa. Oh, Togawa

Hira might be a weirdo but his faces, damn (particularly in this gif)

Hello there, cute sir who makes me feel things

This list has made me wonder is there's a penchant for voyeurism in me since, in the end, I want most of those people to want their significant other carnally while I watch from under the blanket hiding myself. Being human is weird.

Since so many people have been tagged in this I'm only gonna put a few here @emotionallychargedtowel @xagan @ranchthoughts @wanderlust-in-my-soul @takeadeepbreathandexist

If it's with you 君となら恋をしてみても Ep 1

Just watched the first episode of If It's With You, and even while watching, I had a moment of "oh, this is different."

Amane is a very different protagonist from what we usually get, in his seemingly blithe pursuit of men and disregard for actual relationships. We don't get that a lot, particularly not in highschool stories. I'm not sure what to think about him quite yet, but he's interesting, very much so. Also him being so open about his likes and dislikes and all that, in a small town at that, gave me anxiety like whoa, but that's definitely more of a reflection on me than on the show. For the other characters … Yamasuge is so polite and so buttoned up but not at all closed off? He's polite, not standoffish, I really enjoy this. The Grandma seems lovely.

I'm looking forward to getting more backstory; the things they teased at were intriguing. Excited to see where they take it.

Unless is focused on Shoma' and Usa's character, I refuse to accept we are getting a 25-ji sequel before I Became The Main Role of a BL Drama...

[usertoxicyaoi]

also what a time to be alive where higuchi kouhei and kentaro maeda and wataru hyuga are all really good friends who all have their bl dramas (taikan yohou, kimi ni wa todokanai and narakoi) all airing and killing it at the same timeeeee.

[pothame]

amane! there you are.

[jimmysea]

I never thought of dating, or being in a relationship like lovers or something like that with you. The truth is I can't imagine it, but..

First episode of NaraKoi was really nice! We're off to a good start. Amane is adorable, Ryuuji is adorable. This is full of Seishun and, taking @bengiyo's words, Knowing (do correct me if I'm wrong). I am really really interested in what you thought's are on this one Ben. I really wanna see how they are going to reveal how Amane has dealt with his past.

My expectations were low, since I was a little let down with the general quality of Kimi ni wa Todokanai and I thought this one might also falter a little. But so far it seems to be going strong, and Enoshima is a beautiful place. I am gonna be looking forward to this one very week now xD

Today's MVP in NaraKoi

If it's with you 君となら恋をしてみても Ep 2

This episode started fairly abruptly – right into the flashback, no holds barred, and now we're off to the baths together! I love how straightforward Amane is, and how Ryuuji isn't holding back at all, either. I like that they're not teasing us about the backstory too much, just letting it come out little by little. And oh, I hurt for Amane – mustering the courage to come out to someone and not having the other person believe you … that's the worst. I love that they addressed Ryuuji's speech patterns — the contrast between the "ore" and the desu/masu thing was so noticable! Ah, of course — get caught in the rain, catch a fever. These kids are so cute.

This story moves fast, but I guess if they only get five episodes they have to, and it doesn't feel rushed at any rate. I'm excited to see where this goes.

literal ass quality gif but they cute and high quality, so it’s still a win
