I might like yaoi but that doesn't mean I'll accept just about anything that's being thrown at me.

I think the key visual caused a misunderstanding here. Both the normal and chibi form are actually the same character.

@Kuma @lolimancer @dany_elle1908 @Comic_sans @Jeongyeon



This is the real couple, if I'm not wrong, that babe is the uke himself (the one who is wearing the uniform is the Uke)

Anyway, I'm bit sad that the series is going to be 5 minute long :(
But the game is going to be in English so I wil try it. Oh and a remainder to some people here, this game is Shounen Ai, not Yaoi.

Why is everyone freaking out... LMAO.. CANT YOU TELL ITS THE SAME GUY LOOK AT THE HAIR AND CLOTHES.
no its not his son i assure you

I was really excited since weeks ago when they said there'd be a big announcement on the 21st (I was totally expecting an anime adaptation since the FD's already getting a vita) so I'm really happy about this news!

Sadly it'll only be 5 minutes long... It'll probably just be cute short extra stories with Kyouichirou and the rest (LOTS OF IORI PLEASE) and won't touch on the main story at all... Mm... That disappoints me T__T but I guess we're lucky we're getting an anime adaptation at all!

My sister doesn't have time to play the game, so we were all getting hyped up thinking it would be a full adaptation (so she wouldn't have to play it) but I don't think non-players would enjoy this LOL since they're not attached to the characters yet! Hopefully it brings new players to the game though-- it's definitely not just any ordinary BL game.

(silent whisper: i wonder if they'll be showing the character relationships in the main disk or the fandisk... since they're really quite different.) (i need to hear kyouichirou calling senge 'iori')

BTW WHY ISN'T IORI IN THE CAST LIST?!?!

But anyway, this looks pretty interesting, and at the same time I like Chibis as well so I will just watch it and see around. I want to see the staff cast though, honestly.

Thanks @yaoi-senpai for explaining to @Comic_sans @Kuma @dany_elle1908 and the others the real situation haha

It's always good to have new BL anime. I hope this will be good. ^^

I still can't believe that the next long running (if it isn't an OVA) will be that super cliché Hitorijime my Hero of Arii Memeco-sensei

I love her on twitter, but let's face it: it's the most clichéd BL manga ever made. hahaha

Meanwhile, successes like Ten Count, Saezuru, Hidoku Shinaide, no Entranger series (i would say Escape Journey too, but there's few chapters until now) don't have NOTHING! Is so sad.

Well, if Abe Miyuki waited decades to have one for her BL animated, I think Rihito, Tanaka, Yoneda and Scarlet one day receive.

If something positive about Hitorijime my Hero choice, is that a series with few sales like this won, other similar flops like the masterpieces Honto Yajuu and Itoshi no Nekokke may have chance.
Though I still find it impossible to Itoshi. Unfortunately Kumota-sensei is looking like Junko, seems to be avoiding her BL works and focusing on Josei.


Ten Count should absolutely get an anime. The only BL I have seen selling over 100k a volume is junjou romantica and Sekai ichi hatsukoi. And guess what they all got an anime!

I don't think Kumota sensei has stopped doing BL. I got the latest copy of Be Boy Gold and she has a new chapter of Itoshi no Nekokke in it.

@Queer_danshi93 You're welcome ^^ I logged in fast when I saw people thinking that this BL is a pedophile anime XD Anyway about Hitorijime my hero, I'm sure as hell that it's going to be TV series because it can, don't forget that the manga has 700k+ in print. Maybe it's going to be animated in 2018? I'm not sure but that's the rule of BL :(
About the other successful BL manga you mentioned, I hope we get ATLEAST 1 OVA of them, I won't be sad. From 2014 onward, I did tons of explanations to people for how BL manga can get animated but no one listed to me XD but yeah, I hope we get atleast 1 OVA.

@thebigofan Junjou Romantica is no longer selling from 100k since last year, it's decreasing every year. I think the fans in Japan are fed up from Shungiku Sensei, most of the dropped the manga and some of them said that she is trolling XD Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is selling great. About 10 count, some people mentioned in MAL and in Twitter that 10 count sold more than 203k+ (for volume 5 only) tho I didn't find any link, that's why I added it as 170k+ hope the next volume sell like that.
About "No, Thank you" there is no news till no :( I think they canceled it but I remember I read a tweet in the official account if No thank you saying that the anime is going to happen. Not sure why there is no news :(

@Queer_danshi93 Even if it's from J.C staff, it can get a TV series. They already did Love Stage! with 10 ep and an OVA.

Well, Let's wait for more news, I DYING I CANT WAIT T__T
Plus I don't really think it's a good thing for BL anime to get sequels like, look at Junjou Romantica 3, I was so happy when I saw the news but Shungiku sensei just played at my feeling T_T My favorite couple is Junjou Egoist and we didn't get anything from them. ONLY 1 EP. Instead of sequels, it's better if we get a new BL animation every year. Isn't that great?

Let's just not forget this. An DerCen animating Trick or Alice is a branch studio of PrimeTime. parAdI Ce animating No,Thank You!!! is another branch of PrimeTime also. We finally got news of ToA after years so I don't think the studio is abandoning their other anime project.

It's just my own speculation of the silence that went for years but if that's the case then more good news then. I'm not getting my hopes up too much though.

Wahh, am I right to assume that Hitorijime has really 700k in print? That's really awesome...
I would like to ask you a question you're the one regularly updating the sales figures... What are the chances of Ten Count getting an anime? I mean when I read SUper Lovers, it was the last thing I thought they'd animate. So I was hoping if it will have? Even Finder didn't have a proper anime which is sad..(a new chapter is coming in 2017, I heard)

Also, the Finder series, I read in one of the translated chapter, have sold over a million copies worldwide altogether? Is this true?

@Loyalty06 Yup, I'm glad there is a BL that has a really great sales. 10 Count can get animated into an OVA because Shinshokan (the company the own dear+) franchise is low :( They have few BL manga that has a great sales, not like Kadokawa. I knew that Super Lovers was going to get animated into a TV series from before because it was published in Kadokawa Shoten, and that company has a plenty of money, that's why we should not except everything when it's come to BL. And Ten count is a smutty manga, don't forget that.

ABOUT Finder, the newest chapter is going to be done on February 2017 (The mangaka announced it officially in her Twitter account) Nope, Finder sale is almost 50-60k copies, same things to the older volumes. The only BL manga that sold a millions of Copies is Junjou Romantica ( 3 Million copies worldwide) and I'm sure that Sekaiichi Hatsukoi sold more than 1 million copies, since most of the volumes sold more than 100k copies and it has 11 volumes. Ten count is going to reach 1 million soon ^^

Thought it's a narcissistic Bokunopico with time travel, a true deconstruction of BL, could've been a much more interesting synopsis.
