Does anyone know of some good Japanese BL/gay-themed media? I have a feeling Japan has been ahead of the curve compared to other Asian/East Asian countries, so I assume there must be some good stuff out there?

It's not really BL per se, but I recently watched Dangerous Drugs of Sex, which was hot but also disturbing. I'm personally interested in more cute, lighthearted stuff (like the gay version of straight romcoms lol).

Once you've watched the show, I'd be interested to hear what you guys think :)
For me it's good, but not good enough to be on par with other Japanese BL like His (2020), Ossan's Love or Boy's Love (2006) because the actors are still like fresh actors. Honestly, I'm still looking BL movies with more sense of realism, perhaps a better version of Bishonen (1998) or Your Name Engraved Herein (2020).

I hope this doesn't sound crass or whatever but can someone recommend some "sexy" and more 18+ bl with nudity in it? I'm so tired of the same old vanilla stuff...

BL is mostly written by straight women for straight women so it'd be rare for you to find any. If you want more 18+ stuff, consider Bara.

A lot of Japanese BL has dom/sub themes. My Beautiful Man on Viki would be an example, but you'll be disappointed with the lack of nudity.

The one-episode short The Ring Goes Missing has a nice butt shot in the first 90 seconds. It's a good story, but the ending is way rushed.

The Thai series TharnType has some very sexy non-nude moments. Their chemistry is terrific. Unfortunately, the first season is bloated and you should be ready to fast forward.
