Korean animation had been growing recently and it is amazing to see new inputs from them for the anime community to indulge themselves with. I have always admired the exciting and bold stories we got from Korean webtoons, specifically BL webtoons had been a fascinating experience for many of us. For example, my favorite Korean BL webtoons so far are BJ Alex, Semantic Error, and Killing Stalking; all of them had indulged me in one way or another, and sometimes, I think it’ll be amazing to see them as an anime, aren’t they?
This leads me to search for Korean boys-love anime and this is where I found these precious titles that I think many bl fans will surely enjoy watching even though the list is quite limited right now, in terms and quantity and duration. My first Korean BL anime is Semantic Error which was released on Laftel several months ago, March 1, 2021, to be specific. It left me craving for more bl anime from South Korea so I ended up discovering these titles and created this list here as a recommendation for my fellow bl fans.

Someone Else’s BL Cartoon
Here’s a cute and I think relatable Korean BL anime, it involves the common cliche like bullying, and it reminds me of Wandering Son, one of my favorite LGBTQ+-themed anime. It was released in 2018 with a total of 11 episodes which run for 3 minutes length each. It also received a 1-episode prologue which was released in the same year. If you wish to watch Someone Else’s BL Cartoon, you can check it on Bookcube’s YouTube channel, or its listing page on Anime-Planet.
Someone Else’s BL Cartoon bl anime was adapted from the bl manhwa Someone Else’s BL Comic by author and illustrator Bobari.
Semantic Error
An exciting story about a timid yet perfectionist geek and the campus heartthrob, this may look like our average bl story but it offers more than just the icing on top of the cake.
Semantic Error anime adaptation was produced and released by Laftel last March 2021 and it was slated to have 6 episodes with 4 minutes length each. I only wish we’ll get more from it since the webtoon where it was adapted from, was one of the best BL webtoons out there. You can watch Semantic Error anime at Laftel. The webtoons also received a live-action adaptation in 2022 starring Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan.
