This week the class dips into some good ole "Boys Love" or BL to celebrate Pride Month. Yes, we know this episode will air in July, we fucked up our release schedule, BUT back to the gay. This series was written and illustrated by Natsuki Kizu and aired during the summer of 2019 with a movie to follow in 2020. We mainly follow the story of Mafuyu and his journey to find his voice following the death of his boyfriend Yuki, whose guitar he carries with him every day. We meet the other band members Ritsuka, Haruki, and Akihiko who help Mafuyu on his journey. Kizu creates a world that feels lived in, and her characters seem real. It’s a slow burn, yes, but it’s also simple in a way that BL, or “Boys’ Love,” isn’t often depicted. Confessions aren’t always explosive or volatile; sometimes, they’re quiet realizations and clumsy kisses.
