This a prequel which could be watched before or after His (2020). Both of this could be a stand alone feature. However, I recommend them as to familiarize with the characters.

Both are BL, Japanese, fairly short series, and really great romances. Love on the line was way more raw and emotional whereas His was more soft and cute, but I really enjoyed them both and I feel like if you liked one you would definitely like the other. The beginning of Love on the line has the sort of coming of age and first love vibe that His has throughout.

Nagisa is 17 years old and attends 2nd grade in high school. Shun is the same age as Nagisa and visits Fujisawa for spring break. They meet and develop a relationship more than friendship.

He is passionate about surfing and works at a bathhouse in a hostel on the island Enoshima linked to Fujisawa. Shun is the same age as Nagisa and visits Fujisawa for spring break. They meet and develop a relationship more than friendship. However, the surfing equipment store owner’s daughter Chika has been secretly in love with Nagisa.

Innocent BL without explicit content

Both feature adolescent boys falling in love, family life, of "normal" families.

Excellent work from all the young actors.

Recommended by Yizhanisreal
Both shows deal with two teenage boys finding love and developing a relationship, moving from friends to lovers while dealing with issues such as identity and one's past. There are some differences of course - in "His" there are two major female characters who advance the story, and "Given"'s backstory is a more tragic, but overall - those who like Given and Japanese BLs in general should give "His" a try. Also, watch the sequel movie (titled "His").

Slice of life, an unlikely match and a whole lot of fluff! Perfect to binge and get immersed in the vast enviroments and beauitful cinematography

Surfing is the common theme between both stories, since both of them have main characters who are surfers. Both of them are also beautiful LGBTQ+ stories about love between two young men and the complications of falling in love with someone from the same gender.
Recommended by Sunfreeze
Both are short japanese dramas about a romance between two boys. The story starts when the characters are 17 and then later continues when theyre adults meeting again (his movie). Theres a sequel movie for both and funny enough the actors have similar haistyles.

The same actor plays in here (Kura Yuki) and the atmosphare feels very similar :) You will definitely like this if you enjoyed Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai.

Both of these are very subtle and not in your face when it comes to homoeroticism. Showing characters gradually develop feelings, as well as having a girl in the mix to complicate things. The endings are both bittersweet and there are internal doubts in characters in both of these dramas.

In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide
Recommended by Mae
Both dramas are short and tackle the societal denial of what it is to be in a same-sex relationship sensibly and realistically. I love that they both did not exaggerate the idea with campy tropes. Very unlike most BLs. In fact, BL is a hard genre to put these in when they're fully just lovely stories about queer life in spaces that make queerness a non-option.
