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!

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!
