Shy gay anime boy
He shuns himself in his own world (aka room) to live a life that does not involve others which is where he feels most comfortable. Tatsuhiro is 22 years old and it has been close to four years since he confines himself in his room and depends on his parents’ allowance.ĭue to his extreme awkwardness and shyness, he cannot go with the flow of the society and do the normal things that regular people do. He is a NEET which means a young person who is not in education, employment and training.

Tatsuhiro Satou is a hikikomori which means a person who subjects himself to long periods of isolation. is an anime based on the hikikomori and NEET culture in Japan. Just don’t call it Boys’ Love when you do.Welcome to the N.H.K. It’s just not a Boys’ Love anime and that really is a shame as, if it had been, the anime would have been so much more. That being said, if you are looking for a decent sports anime (and don’t mind the annoying cartoon-like scenes that get shoved in, and the clunky animation when Yuri is skating), and a lovely art style, then Yuri on Ice!!! definitely offers that in spades. Then, when you also consider the exchange of rings in Yuri on Ice!!! in Episode 10 is dealt with in an almost homophobic way as Yuri starts shouting the rings don’t mean what you think they do and, no, this isn’t a Boys’ Love anime as it isn’t gay-positive at all.Įven when you consider that almost-last scene at the end of Episode 12 when Victor and Yuri are skating together.Īsk any number of gay men if they think Yuri on Ice!!! is a Boys’ Love anime, and I guarantee you most of them will say “No”. None of them were anime that were overtly sexual, as they skipped all the graphic scenes found in their respective manga, but they did manage to feature two men kissing - many times, in some of them. Nor would a BL anime shy away from showing viewers a kiss between two men, just like Yuri on Ice!!! did in Episode 7, with Victor and Yuri supposedly kissing as Yuri ends his main performance, but with the kiss hidden by Victor’s arm.Īnd before people jump to the anime’s defense by saying a kiss between two men wouldn’t be acceptable in Japan, try to remember all the other anime that have managed to include them - Junjou Romantica, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, Hitorijime My Hero, Dokyuusei, From the New World and Super Lovers - just to name a few.Īnd, in a couple of cases, over a decade before Yuri on Ice!!! was even released.

SHY GAY ANIME BOY SERIES
In fact, what Yuri on Ice!!! is for anyone hoping for a gay-positive anime or a Boys’ Love series is a whole lot of nothing and, in my opinion, a bit of a disappointment.

Neither can the anime be called yaoi or a shounen-ai.
