Given

Sep 3, 2020

Given is that anime gem that nobody asked for but got instead AND IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED IN BL IN 2019 (like every man, coz most stories of BL suck and are really full of redflags). The story is so good. It legit broke all the tropes that most BL series had. It's consenual, refreshing, a nice change of scenery.

The common BL story tropes that we all know is the romanticizing of harrassment, mentally undressing the character and non-consensual angry sex (that we loved). Dokyuusei is one of the gems that actually do not follow the trope like this. The songs are really good and I just hope that I would be able to watch the movie already so I can share my thoughts about Akihiko and Haruki's relationship.

I really love anime shows with realistic stories and surprisingly Given touched on a subject that even people are uncomfortable about talking: Mental Health.
