So far, I only see love and support for boys-love donghua on the internet from donghua fans both local and international.Īs I have mentioned, I would love to share a list of boys-love Chinese anime for the yaoi fans to add to their plan-to-watch anime list or even to those who are simply fond of it or can tolerate it.
What’s even more amazing is that I hadn’t seen so many haters of Chinese bl anime or danmei among its local audiences compared to the Japanese animation where yaoi anime are often subject to the scrutiny of the highly masculine shounen-genre fans that is dominating the anime community in terms of numbers. To a culture where LGBT issues are still not openly accepted in the public, it is amazing that the boys-love story still thrives. So, such is the case too even in Chinese animation where censorship is rampant.
This is a sensitive topic for some, even fans of Japanese animation still have that boundary set between yaoi anime and the other genres. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian (Heaven Official’s Blessing)
