Queer manga I'd like to see adapted

So there's definitely a lack of queer anime out there, so I wanted to talk about three that I think would make good anime. (Note: I realized all these are mainly centered around mlm relationships, so... take that as you will!)

Blue Flag

Blue Flag is one of my favorite romance manga that hasn't been adapted into an anime, and I think it seriously deserves one. It's honestly a love triangle, but one of the only series I've seen that actually does a triangle instead of an angle and does it well. It follows Taichi, a high school third year who is growing apart from his childhood best friend, Touma. Things sort of change when Futaba approaches Taichi due to her crush on Touma. The two become closer, and unbeknownst to them, Touma is gay and in love with Taichi. And as a bonus, Futaba's (female) best friend Masumi is in love with her, too!

Blue Flag is ultimately about navigating those confusing feelings of love in that weird transition between childhood and adulthood. While it's not a complicated premise, it's a beautiful, full tale of romance and friendship that would make an incredible anime if adapted fully. This is one I truly hope will get an adaptation someday.

Go For It, Nakamura!

I know this is kind of a weird one to think would fare well as an anime, but with the success of Komi Can't Communicate and anime with similar structure, I think this one would do well! Go For It, Nakamura! follows Nakamura, a shy high school boy who is completely in love with his classmate, Hirose. It's an episodic comedy with many elements that parody BL, all while celebrating other elements of it.

Nakamura is such a lighthearted read, and if it were a bit longer (another volume, maybe?) it would make a great episodic comedy anime. I honestly think it may even open up the BL genre to people who would've never considered it before. (Such as my brother. He would like this one!)

I Hear the Sunspot

Okay, I know this one got a live-action movie adaptation, but when I read it I just kept thinking of how pretty it could be animated. It follows Taichi (I know), a cheerful college student, and Kohei, who struggles with hearing loss. Taichi is able to break through Kohei's shell, and the two of them start this more than friends less than lovers relationship.

Besides the fact that it's a great manga and it's always nice to have more disability representation in anime, I think it would just look so pretty as an anime. I kept imagining a softer color palate with lighter animation, similar to something like Sweet Blue Flowers. I just think it would be so pretty.

Bonus: They should adapt Harukaze no Etranger (continuation of Umibe no Etranger), especially since the best character doesn't get introduced in what was in the movie, and I want to see him.

So that's all I had on the top of my head. Please give any titles that come to mind that would make great anime! (I will use these as recommendations...)

so, i really enjoyed earthmix in moonlight chicken and i get the vibe gmmtv wanted to build on that and give them another 'mature gays' type series/ie at least sth non-school based. im all for that on principle but sadly ossan's love sounds like.. not my cup of tea at all (unless they go slice of life/serious on it i suppose). my question is: which jbl in the vein of older/messy queers would you have handed to earthmix instead (if forced lol)?

Which JBL IP should EarthMix have gotten?

Double Mints?

HA! I kill me.

Cherry Magic?

snerk.

Lemme think.

Fujimi Orchestra

Honestly? They's be fucking BRILLIANT in this one. OMG it suits them so well. But Thailand doesn't really have it in them to do a full orchestra BL so they'd need to move it into an office or something. Not sure if that would work for this IP.

But the personalities and the egos and the battle of wits and talent and ANGST = chef's kiss!

Candy and Kiss

This is a lot softer, but the setting is fun and Thailand (the land of malls) has yet to do a BL set in a mall.

Just take over Icon Siam... you know you wanna GMMTV.

The product placement opportunities ALONE.

However, you wanted messy?

Jack o'Frost

But it's not my style. Still EarthMix would have a ton of fun with it.

Can I pick a manga?

The Finder Series (#1 = Target in the Finder) by Ayano Yamane.

Kinky and graphic (so actually it's more Domundi's style than GMMTV but EarthMix could hack it)

Mafia boss with very questionable morals and lots of fetiches picks up a student photographer and for various reasons, a lot of them involving handcuffs and rope, they end up dating.

Honestly, you know what I'd REALLY love?

A Thai take, with a happy ending, staring EarthMix of Taiwan's brilliant but super flawed Dark Blue and Moonlight.

How's that for a long pull?

On a different note can I PLEASE hand over:

Silhouette of Your Voice AKA Hidamari ga Kikoeru

better known as:

I Hear the Sunspot

To Gem4?

Pretty please?

They would be utterly amazing and it would be brilliant and I am gutted that Mix-up was given to them when this BRILLIANT little IP is just LANGUISHING.

Who's with me?

#asked and answered #Target in the Finder #ABL gets obscure with bl #Japan failed give it to EarthMix #Fujimi Orchestra #Candy and Kiss #Ayano Yamane #GMMTV #Silhouette of Your Voice #gem4 #geminifourth #Hidamari ga Kikoeru #I Hear the Sunspot

Here's a collage of the 18 BL and BL-adjacent manga I reviewed for this small project! If you've read one of them or are at least familiar with them, I wholeheartedly recommend the other series - all of these tell very interesting stories, and they all feature such great characters in their own ways.

If you wanna read my reviews, here's an index featuring all 30 of them.

Wanna find similar titles? I made a Part 2 collage here!

I had a lot of fun writing them, and I feel like I haven't written that much in a month for a long time. It felt nice to finally let all my feelings out about these stories, and I'm honored that some of those reviews got some likes and even replies!

There were a bunch of titles I wanted to include, as well as later volumes of some of the series here, but in the end I went with the current roster as they were the ones I had the most to say about. Maybe down the line I'll revisit this project and add more entries, but for now, I do want to get through my current backlog - I've been busy rereading for this project that there are some titles that I haven't touched yet!

Once again, thank you very much for reading!
