You were attacked with affection the minute you had stepped foot in the house, but you werenât complaining. It was like James had appeared from thin air to help you shuck your coat off and hang it up for you.Â
âChrist, babe. It didnât know how freezing it was out there. Youâve got like, bits of ice on you.â He fussed, scrutinizing your shaking body and wind-pinched face.Â
âIt wasnât that bad, the walk was pretty.â You thought that would be reassuring, but James just looked more aghast.Â
âYou walked the whole way here?â
âI mean, yeah. I didnât have money for the bus.â You admitted shamefully. It seemed like Sirius had appeared in the room to give you a (loving) talking to as well.Â
âThen in that case, you call one of us, yeah?â He grabbed your face gently, turning you away from James to look at him. He had his whole intimidation thing going on that made you want to melt into the floor. âYou donât get to put yourself in danger walking in this.â He gave your chin an affectionate squeeze before dropping his hand from your face, you let your gaze fall to the floor.
âI will,â You muttered, barely intelligible. This time it was James who tilted your face up.Â
âSpeak up baby, and look Pads in the eye when you talk to him.â He was gentle but still assertive. You quickly corrected.Â
âI will call you next time.â Still mousy, but at a discernible volume, and now you could see when Siriusâ usual grin overtook his concerned features. He pulled you into him, giving you a tight squeeze.Â
âYouâre okay, babydoll. Youâre not in trouble.â He kissed your neck, making it hard for you to breathe.Â
âWhoâs not in trouble?â You heard Remusâ even tone from the kitchen. You tugged the two men next to you over to where Remus was. He was sitting at the counter, doing some work on his laptop.
âWell it seems like Y/N was determined to give us the fright of our life this afternoon.â James joked (rather dramatically in your opinion), but itâs all good now.Â
âThey will be requiring some hot chocolate, though.â Sirius pinched at your nose, making an awful cooing sound. âBaby, your face is still all cold.âÂ
Remus stood up to rummage through the box of hot drink mixes. âPads love, could you run upstairs and grab the sweater off the end of the bed?â his voice turned more serious as he looked at you. âIt doesnât surprise me that youâre still cold, that shirt likely isnât doing much to keep you warm.âÂ
âActually,â You spoke up, ignoring his comment. âCould I have some coffee instead?â James scoffed and Remus rolled his eyes.Â
âItâs half past five, baby dove. Youâll be up all night if you have caffeine right now.â Remus clearly wasnât in the mood to be argued with, but you pressed in.
âIâll be fine! Besides, my head hurts and I need to get some work done.âÂ
âYeah, well, get that idea out of your head.â James shook your shoulders affectionately. âYouâve been burning the candle at both ends lately, you need a rest.âÂ
âWho needs a rest?â Sirius trotted over to you, manhandling you to get Remusâ sweater over your head.Â
âY/N,â James tattled. âThey think theyâre getting coffee at this hour.â He laughed like you were being obviously ridiculous. âThey also have a headache and didnât tell us.â You mustâve looked absolutely appalled and quickly floundered to control the damages.Â
âI didnât think it was important! Itâs not bad anyway.âÂ
âWell, letâs try to keep it from getting bad.â Remus handed you a steaming cup of hot cocoa, along with a packet of biscuits. âHere, eat these so you can take some pain pills.â He glanced over to James, making the bespectacled boy rummage through the medicine box while Sirius set on getting a glass of water for you.Â
âI donât need any medicine, it will go away on its own.â You pleaded, covering your mouth full of biscoff and feeling flustered from all the attention. Sirius clearly disagreed, because the comment earned you a hard pinch on your bum.Â
âDo what Moons saidâ He punctuated the order with a kiss to your forehead, letting you know he wasnât really upset with you. Sirius may play stern, but he was really just silly and enjoyed ordering you around a bit, knowing that it made you heated and blushy.Â
You set down your hot drink and half-eaten snack to take the pills and water, swallowing your pills and finishing the whole glass before you handed it back.Â
âThere you go,â James cooed, pulling you into his side. âThatâs a good girlâÂ
You groaned, earning a dark chuckle from Remus.
"Poor baby," He teased, clearly not feeling very sorry for you.
It was going to be a trying night.

Japanese BL Starter Pack

Itâs been awhile since I dropped a rec list, so I am here today to share one that is very near and dear to my heartâa Japanese bl primer for those who are new to the jbl game. I created this for @neuroticbookworm to help her on her journey when she decided she wanted to start getting into Japanese works. The fandom (on Tumblr and generally) tends to focus primarily on Thai shows because they are the easiest to access for international fans, since Thailand is working its way toward world domination via ql media and wants us all to be able to watch. But there is a lot of great stuff to watch beyond the easy access Thai channels, and Japan is the country where this genre originated, so its shows are important for anyone who considers themselves a bl fan. Japan doesnât cater nearly as much to the international audience so tracking down the shows sometimes takes some ingenuity and can-do spirit, but thatâs part of the fun!
And so, the list! Bookworm is about halfway through it and having a ball, so I figured it was time to stop hoarding it and share it with anyone else who would like to dip their toes into jbl and isnât quite sure where to start. A few notes:Â
I am not here to teach you about the deep roots of the jbl genre or give you a primer on yaoi manga. I am by no means an expert and there are other places to find that information. Start here with this great post by @nieves-de-sugui and then maybe wander over to @absolutebl to read up more on the evolution of the genre.
This list is by no means an exhaustive accounting of every important Japanese bl ever made; it is simply a nice sampler platter of the cream of the crop among various styles you will find in jbl. Watching through this whole list will not only expose you to some fantastic shows, but also give you a sense of what makes jbl unique and how the countryâs style differs from others, and point you toward the types of jbl youâll like most (they tend to put shows in pretty specific style and tone lanes and once you find the ones you like there are lots more where that came from).Â
If youâre coming to this post as a jbl lover and you donât see your favorite here, I promise itâs not because I donât love it very much; I simply had to make some choices to get this down to a reasonable shortlist. Feel free to leave extra recs for others to find!Â
Iâm putting these in a loose suggested watch order that will take you through the various jbl lanes in a kind of popcorn style, because I always think itâs good to change it up so you donât get too stuck in one mode, and it works its way up to most of the extremely Japanese stuff (you will know what that means by the time you finish). But do whatâs in your heart and change up the order if you want, friends, I am not the boss of you!Â
Cherry Magic (Crunchyroll or grey)

gif by @liyazaki
I believe everyone on Tumblr is pretty familiar with this one, which is not a coincidenceâthis is one of the most accessible jbls. Not in terms of actual access to watch it, mind you (weâve all jumped through shady internet hoops to watch it) but in terms of its content and style. Cherry Magic is a classic workplace romcom with a magical twist, and it is charming af. Itâs a great exemplar of Japanâs light and zippy comedy lane for blâa lane in which, importantly, the romances stay chaste even when the actual plot is about sex, or lack thereof. My friend @waitmyturtles would kill me if I didnât make sure you know that Cherry Magic also has a lovely follow up film. And bonus: there is now a Thai remake airing so if you watch the original you can get in on the discussion about the different adaptations between countries. This is pretty easy to find these days in all the usual places, but I strongly recommend watching it here.
Old Fashion Cupcake (Viki)

gif by @liyazaki
Moving on to a slightly more mature workplace romcom. Old Fashion Cupcake, another Tumblr favorite, is an age gap boss-subordinate romance, and itâs both very adult and somehow wholesome af at the same time. Sure, there is a lot of carnal desire going on here, but there is also a lot of wooing via fluffy pancakes. Itâs a tight five episodes and a fantastic example of what Japan, with its extreme technical precision in writing, directing, editing, pacing, and acting firing on all cylinders, can do in two hours. Thereâs not an ounce of flab on this thing and youâll want to watch it over and over again.
Utsukushii Kare (Viki)

gif by @wanderlust-in-my-soul
Time to get a little weird! Weird is a key feature of Japanese media, and lots of jbls explore unusual relationship dynamics rooted in complex psychology. This is the first show on the list that will likely feel very Japanese if youâre new around hereâmy advice is to lean into it and finish the show, even if you get uncomfortable along the way. In Japanese media, discomfort always serves a purpose. This is a high school story with a twisted relationship at its center, and Iâm not saying any more than that. Donât spoil yourself and go watch it! This one also comes with two sequelsâone short second season and one movieâthat continue from the original story. They are less essential but still excellent.
I Cannot Reach You (Netflix)

gif by @my-rose-tinted-glasses
Next up, another high school tale, but with a totally different vibe. This show is kind of a revelation in its willingness to tell a story about overwhelming desireâincluding sexual desireâwith young protagonists. Itâs rooted in a classic but often misunderstood trope, friends to lovers, and takes the angst of it seriously, giving us a low stakes story that feels extremely high stakes to our leads. Itâs also gorgeous and uses a classic Japanese visual style (bokeh) that youâll be dying to learn more about.Â
His (Viki)

gif by @gabrielokun
Time for a break from high school, and weâll sprinkle in a movie for some added flavor. His is a jbl film featuring a second chance romance between a stoic, introverted man who moves to a remote town to start over, and his ex-boyfriend who follows him there unexpectedly, adorable child in tow. Importantly, this movie does not take place in what we often refer to as the âbl bubbleâ where homophobia doesnât exist; the leadsâ experiences of being gay men in a homophobic society are hugely important to the plot and themes of the story. Itâs a beautiful film and Iâve lost count of how many times Iâve watched it. @bengiyo would surely also like me to tell you that this film follows a brief prequel show called His: I Didnât Mean to Fall in Love about the characters originally meeting in high school; I do not think itâs really necessary to watch it but completists can start there.
The Pornographer series (Gaga)
By now you should be ready to get into some classic Japanese fucked up psychosexual material, right? Right! The Pornographer series is told in five installments in this order:
The Novelist, a six episode miniseries
Mood Indigo, a six episode prequel series
Spring Life, a 15 minute short
Pornographer: Playback, a two hour film
Spring Life Continued, a 15 minute short
Confused by that distribution model? So say we all; sometimes Japan likes to make us work for it to make sure we really appreciate its many gifts to us. The story across these installments is about a very difficult to love protagonist, what makes him the way he is, and the also-unhinged-but-in-a-different-way man who finally gets through to him. Itâs an extremely satisfying love story and one of the best character arcs I have ever seen, full stop. For this one, youâll want to just pull the word problematic out of your pocket and store it in a drawer; nearly everything that happens in this story is problematic and thatâs the point. Lean in! All of these installments except for the film are on Gaga, if you get that far hmu and I will supply you with the final puzzle piece.
Our Dining Table (Gaga)

You could probably use a break after those last two, so itâs time to shift over to a heart-tugging twofer: family trauma mixed with the cutest shit youâve ever seen. ODT is an example of another classic type of Japanese show: the food drama (you will see the GOAT in this category at the end of this list). In Japanese culture, food is love, and the act of preparing food for your loved ones is a common path to romance. Youâll love this story about an isolated office worker who meets a pair of brothers, learns to cook as a way of connecting with them, and begins to heal from his own trauma as a result. The image above is a scan from the manga, which @troubled-mind curates to make extremely cool comparison sets like this one. Many jbls are faithful adaptations of yaoi manga source material, so itâs good to have a bit of familiarity with them.
Minatoâs Laundromat (Gaga)

gif by @liyazaki
Japanese media loves to explore taboo, and often manages to do it in a way that is surprisingly light and chaste. This is an age gap romance between a teenager and his adult neighbor that explores internalized homophobia, emotional repression, and falling in love across seemingly impossible social chasms. Itâs also a great example of old school yaoi seme-uke dynamics that still show up across the bl genre. Also, take my advice: end your journey with this one with the first season and just pretend season 2 doesnât exist.
Eternal Yesterday (Viki)

gif by @wanderlust-in-my-soul
Remember what I said about weird? Time to do that again, but with a heaping dose of grief and pain on top. Itâs not a spoiler to tell you this show involves a major character death; a major character death is, in fact, the root of the entire story. This is a magic realist tale of first love turned tragic, and it will hurt and heal you. It is one of my favorite dramas of all time.
Restart After Come Back Home (Gaga)
And now for a break for your poor exhausted brain. This film is basically the jbl version of a Hallmark original movie, about a city boy who goes back home to the country and falls in love with a total sweetheart while working together on a farm. Enjoy it, bestie, youâve earned it!Â
Tokyo in April Is⌠(Gaga)

gif by @wanderlust-in-my-soul
Youâve probably noticed by now that emotional repression and failed communication are big themes in Japanese works. This second chance romance has plenty of both, and itâs a great example of a kind of muted emotional style that Japan does so well, where the surface of the story seems almost placid and calm even as deep emotion roils underneath. This one (and Eternal Yesterday above) are part of a special line up of jbls on Japanese channel MBS called Tonku (Drama) Shower. The shows air one after another in the same time slot on Fridays (in Japan, perhaps Thursdays for you depending on where you live) and you truly never know what youâre gonna get, but theyâre all interesting. Warnings on this one for sexual assault and trauma.Â
The End of the World With You (Viki)
Time for sexy and weird again, but even more so! This has to be one of the most unique bls ever made; it goes to some truly divine and strange places, and it feels incredibly queer while doing it. Made by the same screenwriter/director of the Pornographer series with a lot of the same sensibilities, but in a more heightened apocalyptic setting. This one has existential angst, a road trip, a redemption tale, and a variety of interesting side characters in the mix.
What Did You Eat Yesterday? (Gaga)

gif by @my-rose-tinted-glasses
Congratulations, youâve reached the end of the list and your reward is watching one of the best bls of all time, and a perfect slice of life food drama to boot. WDYEY now has two seasons (along with a couple specials and a movie that fall in between) because the universe clearly loves us. You can now get it on Gaga for easy access but Iâm partial to the versions over at @kinounaniresource for better subs. Wherever you watch, settle in to get cozy with Shiro and Kenji and make sure to always eat before you hit play.
