Hello everyone! This is Saori from Otaku Republic!

Today, I’d like to feature a certain BL work that’s been confirmed for an anime adaptation in 2025! This work is pretty famous, right? When I heard the news about the anime adaptation, I was like, ‘Wow!’ and really surprised!
【BL × Anime Adaptation】Set for an Anime Adaptation in 2025! An Easy-to-Read, Classic School BL Love Comedy with a Touch of Retro - What Kind of Story is Ganbare Nakamura-kun?

Is this feeling...... love!? You’ll want to cheer on this shy high school boy’s sweet and adorable crush! Ganbare Nakamura-kun!


Just from the PV, it looks like it’s going to be a really fun adaptation, which makes me super happy! Ganbare Nakamura-kun has an 80s–90s style illustration, and it’s a lighthearted story that humorously and refreshingly depicts the ‘crush’ of a shy boy!

The protagonist, Okuto Nakamura, is an ordinary but somewhat shy high school boy.
In front of him appears his classmate, Aiki Hirose.
When Nakamura sees Hirose, he feels a strange sensation.
Even though they’ve never spoken, his heart starts pounding whenever he sees him......!?
Nakamura’s “fantasies and wild antics” around his crush on Hirose are comically depicted in an 80s–90s style!
This is Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!, a classic BL rom-com by the well-known and popular author Shundei-sensei.

So it’s like this — shy Nakamura, who struggles even with making friends, suddenly falls for a boy in his class! From there, the story is a clumsy, bittersweet...... or rather, frustratingly subtle depiction of a one-sided crush in a slapstick comedy!


The story itself is really simple, and the art is cute. Most of all, it’s heartwarming! So it’s often recommended as a ‘this is what BL manga is like!’ starter for people who’ve never read BL before. Rather than incorporating the latest trends, it has a nostalgic charm, making it a cute and funny BL manga.

I’m really looking forward to the 2025 anime adaptation! It’s a pretty famous work in Japan, so definitely check it out!
