1. 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
A classic heartwarming show. It's very sweet (sometimes a little sickly so) but that's really the whole point. No forced chemistry, awkwardness, or toxic relationship tropes here - just cute fluff. Sometimes that's just what you need!

2. Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko
Japanese Special - 2021, 1 episode
Hilarious! It's nice to see the BL genre making fun of itself (especially in a way that isn't putting down fans or calling out the industry). It's lighthearted, with good comedy (and good comedic timing) and the characters all stand out in their own way! Overall, a very uplifting and silly (in a self aware type of way) show. Great fun!

3. Kieta Hatsukoi
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
This is currently still airing but it's so sweet and goofy and lovely - I'm obsessed! It's really a classic, heartwarming high school romance with fun and relatable characters (I'm rooting for all of them!). It feels very reminiscent of classic Japanese shounen-ai which, in my opinion, is unbeatable. I highly recommend!
