Review Stay by My Side After the Rain Review: A Gentle Japanese BL About Coming Out, Family, and Growing Together

Stay by My Side After the Rain is a soft, emotionally sincere Japanese BL about reunited childhood friends learning how to love each other openly. Its pacing can be mild to a fault, but the series earns real warmth through honesty, healing, and quiet companionship.

The One You Feed

Not a single person in this movie is given a proper name. It seems the creators intended to strip away labels to make sexuality appear normal, though I am at a loss as to what they actually hoped to achieve with that approach.

My head and my gut...
Hello Love! (Cambodia Mini-Series)

Hello Love! (Cambodia Mini-Series)

Cambodia doesn’t produce much BL content, and if this is the standard for future releases, I am happy to pass. It sounds harsh, I realize, but the premise of everyday people finding love in mundane settings requires a compelling core to actually succeed.

MuTeLuv: Love Me if You Swear (Thai Mini-Series)

Spanning four episodes of approximately 45 to 50 minutes each, the plot utilizes an enemies to lovers setup that leans heavily into comedy to maintain a lighthearted tone. While...
