BL Franchises

Boys love titles with MAL—M⃣anga, A⃣nime and L⃣ive-action adaptations (TV series, movie, and/or stage play).

Note: Only titles adapted to all three mediums (and BLCD or audio drama) are included in this stack. Those with only 'manga and anime', 'manga and live-action', 'anime and live-action', or 'manga and BLCD' are excluded; more titles will eventually be included when they get adapted to all three mediums. Only the first anime for each franchise are included in this stack. However, reading order and watch order guides are listed per item. MAL, IMDb, MDL, Wikis are also noted.
