My favourite Japanese series

Romance within a relationship between two gay men in the 40s. Slice of life, centered around food and their idiosyncratic ways of expressing their feelings for each other. It's just perfect.

The World's Cutest Kid and Most Adorable Wingman, BL's best father, and two young men who've both been through a lot bond over simple homemade food, friendship and the kid.

Overflowing with love and warmth. It is absolutely worth seeking out.

Small gem with many facets; plot is simple enough but everything else intertwines.

Gentle love story between two women, emphasising how the support of another can help you find confidence in yourself. It's ultimately about taking risks, both in love and art. Beautiful, sensuous love scene too, befitting a story about a visual artist and a writer.

They did kiss. Ach, so what if we didn't see it? :)

The best I've seen for female friendships.

It took a wee while for me to get into it but I'm really glad I stuck with it.

Lovely little story of young love.

Cute comedy about high school crushes and friendship. Not sure how to read the comedy around the central character. Good girl characters too.
