The 5 Best Yaoi Anime of All Time, Ranked by Fans

BL or Yaoi is one of the most sensitive topics that can cause a lot of controversy as well as disagreement among the readers. However, as the LGBTQ+ community is finally being accepted into society, people’s desire to watch such things has also increased, leading to many movies, shows and anime adaptations under that category.

Nowadays, genres like echi, shjo, yaoi, and harem have gained immense popularity, and it’s nice to see people generalizing these anime styles. So let’s take a look at one of the most popular yaoi anime that has been loved by the audience.

1. Hey, Class President!  

Description of love during high school in student council. It revolves around the character of Chiga who is the vice president and always tries his best to save the student council president from getting into trouble.

but in the end he is attracted to the power and strength of the student council president. He finds it impossible to accept because Chiga is a smart man, but he is imbued with the power of a president who is actually an ordinary man.

2. Betrayal Knows My Name

This series is not just about relationship drama. Unlike many series, it has plenty of action with characters fighting monsters. However, you get your dose of dramatics as a main character who can see people’s troubled pasts just by touching them.

As an orphan, he sets out to discover his purpose in life and the mystery behind his power. However, the series makes its purpose clear – it’s about cute boys in pain, connecting with each other emotionally and physically. The story is rather generic, but it is full of eye candy.

3. Sensitive Pronograph

Part of this yaoi anime is a sexy love story between manga artists. Part Two is a strange BDSM story that turns into something else. Featuring two short stories, the first is about two manga writers/artists with a ten-year age difference.

Seiji Yamada and Sono Hanasaki, and their intimate love lives and problems. The second story is about the strange events that happen to pet keeper Ueno when he goes to care for a pet rabbit named Aki, who learns that he is actually a human.

4. Okane Ga Nai

Anime is kind of sweet if you watch full episodes. It is about a man named Kano who buys Ayase from an auction, rapes Ayase after buying it and then regrets it. Kano buys Ayase because he remembers her from a few years ago.

Ayase is indebted to Kano and has to sell her body to him every time. The anime is a bit confusing at first and so you have to pay attention. There are only four OVA anime episodes, but there are plenty of volumes for light novels and manga.

5. Gakuen Heaven

Gakuen Heaven revolves around the story of Keita Ito. A high school boy who doesn’t want to stand out and prefers a normal high school life. While searching for his high school, Keita receives a letter of acceptance from the prestigious boarding school, Bell Liberty Academy.

What he considers his new life as a high school boy turns into a nightmare when he uncovers the social structure of his dream school. Will Keita be able to escape this Yaoi school or will it make the best use of him? There’s only one to find out!
