Started out as fanworks the mangas and other works grew so popular that now it has become one of the most popular anime and manga genres of all time! The genre also attracts the male audience, don’t get me wrong but it is catered more to the female audience, it has good-looking boys, dynamic relationships which cross all societal norms and some sexual tension, and in some cases even more than just tension.īL, or sometimes referred to as the Yaoi genre has a rich history but it took to the audience in the 1980s when several female mangakas finally got their works published.

The BL genre has become quite popular in recent years with some great attention from big-time anime studios like MAPPA, Lerche, and many more.

Boy’s Love has taken over all the female anime watchers like a tsunami.
