Movies!

A modern classic. Doukyusei is a sweet and beautifully done film which I would reccomend to anyone wishing to taste the genre. The artstyle has always been unconventional but it looks so damn good animated. Sajou and Kusakabe are the most perfect couple to touch BL

Commentary on the manga as well - The manga is also superb. The later volumes do such a great job at fleshing out the twos relationship and the side characters. Nakamura-sensei has a strong focus on teacher-student relationships in these volumes which some might not enjoy. Regardless both works are 10/10

Stranger by the shore is one of the most important works in my life. I watched this film when I was young, before I had figured out anything about my identity and it set me upon the path you find me on today. It served as the greatest introduction to bl I could ask for.

Speaking on the actual subject matter: Its gorgeous. Shun and Mio are flawed but kind individuals and the movies slow pacing suits the building of their relationship perfectly. The animation is incredibly charming and displays the beauty of their home (and them) so well. I find it incredibly hard to put my love for Seaside Stranger into words. How do you express the way you love your blood, your bones, your tissue? It serves as such a foundational element its hard to do. Please do go watch it 10/10
