The last shounen-ai themed anime series we have for this year is Given. That incredible show is down to its last three episodes. And after that, we're left with nothing. We will have to wait again for months without seeing any two 2D guys being sweet all over each other. How long? Well, there are currently three BL anime in production, one movie, one sequel, and one new series. The earliest to be released among the three will be the movie called Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai: The Clouds Gather. It's the first project under the new label Blue Lynx from Fuji TV.
Watch the PV below:
Synopsis: The sexually masochistic yakuza boss, Yashiro, isn't the type to warm up to others easily. But when Chikara Doumeki, his newly hired bodyguard, catches his interest, he reconsiders his "hands-off" policy with subordinates. As Yashiro's invitations fail, the yakuza boss finds out his bodyguard has a very personal reason for staying at arm's length.
Release Date: December, 2019 (Unofficial)
(For updates on the film, you may visit its official site.)
For the remaining two titles, both will be released in 2020, but I think the new series will be released first. Its title is Ten Count, and it's adapted from the manga with the same name.
Synopsis: Corporate secretary Shirotani suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. One day he meets Kurose, a therapist who offers to take him through a ten-step program to cure him of his compulsion. As the two go through each of the ten steps, Shirotani 's attraction to his counselor grows.
Release Date: 2020
Last but not the least, is the sequel from the popular Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi series, titled Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi ~Propose-Hen~. Kadokawa didn't announce its format, but hopefully, it would be a whole new season. (And to be honest I would like to see more Shouta Kisa x Kou Yukina scenes.. so yeah, give us a third season! lol) Unfortunately, there's no synopsis and PV yet, but we're treated with an official art:
Such a tease, I know. For now, we all just have to be patient and wait for further details.
