10 Best BL Anime on Funimation

Kicking off the list is The Betrayal Knows My Name, also known as Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru in Japanese.

It combines the Boys' Love and fantasy anime genres, with many superpowers, demons, and magical elements in its premise.

The anime follows Yuki Sakurai, an orphaned high schooler with the ability to read the deepest, darkest thoughts of anyone he touches. However, Yuki is plagued by strange dreams and even death threats!

Yuki tries to help a fellow student who is in danger one foggy night—until a truck nearly hits him!

Yuki is saved from certain death thanks to the quick actions of Zess, a mysterious yet beautiful man.

Before disappearing into the night, Zess warns Yuki not to go outside on Walpurgis Night, as the eve of the blood-red moon encourages death, particularly for Yuki.

A story about love and dreams, Gravitation is a BL and comedy anime with a music theme, so expect a lot of music in this anime.

It follows Shuichi Shindou and his band, Bad Luck, as they strive to be Japan's next musical sensation.

Shuichi meets a famous novelist named Eiri Yuki by chance and a gust of wind. He tells Shuichi that his songwriting skills are grade school level.

That's when Shuichi decides to look for Yuki again, unaware that he has experienced love at first sight despite the latter's rudeness.

As it turns out, Yuki is a cynical and heartless writer, which is why Shuichi must go above and beyond to earn his approval, and possibly his love.

Another must-see show on Funimation is Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed by the Sexiest Man of the Year, a BL anime with a story that can mirror the real world and its challenges for same-sex couples.

It revolves around Takato Saijo and Junta Azumaya's strange love story.

Both of them work in the idol industry, and tensions rise when Junta Azumaya's smile attracts Takato Saijo's admirers.

Takato has been named the industry's Most Huggable for the past five years, and it appears that Azumaya is out to dethrone him, despite the fact that he is still a rookie actor!

When Takato becomes overwhelmed by the whole situation, he turns to alcohol, and his actions attract the attention of Azumaya.

This BL anime delves into three intertwined relationships that happen in different timelines.

The first story is about a relationship between Misaki Takahashi, an incoming college student, and his private tutor, Akihiko Usami.

With college entrance exams looming, Misaki must concentrate on his studies, despite Usami's flirtatious attempts to distract him.

The second story follows Nowaki Kusama and Hiroki Kamijou's relationship.

After Nowaki insisted on Hiroki tutoring him for his upcoming high school proficiency exams, the two hit it off.

The final story features the relationship between literary professor Yoh Miyagi and high schooler Shinobu Takatsuki.

After Shinobu’s older sister divorces Miyagi, he flew all the way to Japan to confess and win his ex-brother-in-law’s heart.

The World's Greatest First Love, or Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi, is a Junjou Romantica spin-off that follows three different couples, the main couple being Ritsu Onodera and Takano Masamune.

Ritsu Onodera leaves his job as a literature editor at his father's publishing company to work in Takano Masamune's Shoujo Manga Department at Marukawa Publishing Company.

Takano was also Ritsu Onodera's old high school lover, who had previously broken his heart.

The anime also depicts the relationship between Hatori and Chiaki.

While Hatori has loved Chiaki since they were children, the latter is a complete airhead who ignores Hatori's romantic advances.

The anime's final couple is Kisa and Yukina. Kisa had never been in love before meeting the prince-like Yukina.

Despite his sexual experiences, Kisa realizes that he may never be good enough to win Yukina's heart.
