Boys Kissing Boys

Anime

Guys kissing each other for any of the following reasons: love, revenge, heroism, attention-seeking, boredom (it was just something to do), etc. What counts as a kiss? Any manly body-to-mouth or mouth-to mouth physical contact...even if accidental.

List includes some variations of friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, enemies to lovers trope. And some canon romance as well as gay, gayness, or queer subtext.

All anime are either non BL or not tagged as boys' love, shounen ai, or yaoi. Some have content warnings so look em up if you're unfamiliar.

Blue Lock

TV, 2022, 24 eps Me:- Author:9

An unaspiring monk puts his finger in the MC's mouth in the first episode. On the list for that alone. Tho the subtext (text?) leads me to believe some of these boys are kissing off screen...

Fairy Ranmaru: Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu

TV, 2021, 12 eps Me:- Author:10

This one is backloaded with men kissing each other. Takes awhile to get there, but eventually they start and don't stop. I lost count how many times they do it. And even when I was expecting it, they somehow still surprise me with the execution.

Migi to Dali

TV, 2023, 13 eps Me:- Author:10

One kiss. This show is a weird one (in a good way). Something like an absurdist mystery with twins.

Golden Kamuy

TV, 2018, 12 eps Me:- Author:9

The MC puts his lips on another man at some point. But before and after that, there's a ton of overt, unhinged homoeroticism that'll probably overshadow the actual reason this anime made the list.

Banana Fish

TV, 2018, 24 eps Me:- Author:10

One kiss (I think?). At least only one kiss I cared about. Due to the content covered in the anime, I probably didn't count anything violent.

Promare

Movie, 2019, 1 ep Me:- Author:9

One kiss... possibly the longest onscreen kiss on this list.

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze

TV, 2018, 39 eps Me:- Author:10

One unsolicited face lick (but maybe not unwanted??)

idk, it's JoJo. It's homoerotic. There's probably other things that happen that also qualify it for this list. And honestly maybe even all the parts qualify. The face lick just sticks out the most to me.

Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

TV, 2010, 25 eps Me:- Author:8

One censored kiss. But watch this one for the sassy posing mech in heels and a missile skirt, and the enchanting maiden songs playing before each battle.

Tian Guan Cifu

ONA, 2020, 11 eps Me:- Author:10

He's a gentleman so he only kisses his crush's hand. But they share a bed and a haystack. And tbh whatever they were doing on that haystack was way more intimate than most things on this list.

Yuri!!! on Ice

TV, 2016, 12 eps Me:- Author:10

One censored kiss... but you definitely know they kissed, right?

Sarazanmai

TV, 2019, 11 eps Me:- Author:10

One or two boy-kisses from the younger cast. And some adult interactions between grown men (I think they were maybe kissing...)

Beastars

TV, 2019, 12 eps Me:- Author:9

One pretty descriptive kiss.

Shoujo Kakumei Utena

TV, 1997, 39 eps Me:- Author:10

This one guy kisses (licks?) this other guy's finger and talks about how he wants to make him his bride. There's also imagery of shirtless boys having serious conversations while they pose or flop around in bed. It's subtext for something.
