The police and detective story will remind you of many BL anime out there that revolves around tough men being tough with each other while also being intimate as they pursue their own personal agenda.

The Defective Lovers is one of the previously announced new donghua from Tencent as part of their 2021-2022 Chinese anime lineup during their annual event that took place on August 8, 2021.

The upcoming donghua is adapted from a Chinese BL manhua called Bu Jianquan Guanxi, which is also known by various names such as Unsound Relationship, Imperfect Relationship, Defective Lovers – which refers to a rather peculiar duo that will drive us around and navigate the narrative of its plot.

Quite similar to those anime and donghua with supernatural plot and elements of cult and crime-mystery such as Link Click, Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire, Silent Reading, Midnight Occult Investigation, Twin Spirit Detectives, and The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window.

The manhua where the story had been adapted from is written and illustrated by Qiyan and Dengsha, and first published in February of 2020. The story involves a great combination of comedy, mystery, drama and supernatural elements.

Nonetheless, fans can expect that it will be a story driven by its plot instead of a fanservice or BL-baiting as it’ll revolved around the crime and mysteries indicated in the story with a bit of BL elements whenever its needed.
