Anime about making manga, writing novel etc

These are some of the BL anime I’ve seen and enjoyed! I hope you find some interesting ones in here. I have some older one’s in here and in some of those there are dubious consent so fair warning for that. Make sure to check which one’s are which so that you aren’t blindsided by it. These aren’t in any particular order either. I hope you enjoy these!

✿ ˚All Nakamura-sensei works adapted into anime until now! ࿐ ♡ ˚ .
꒰𓂅♡ I added all entries for Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica in order for anyone who wants to start watching any of those two! ֺ۪ ⭒ ݂ ✰

The BL anime included are labelled 'unproblematic', 'partly problematic', 'problematic', and 'fujoshi bait' to better help you find something to your liking. Those labels mainly refer to how healthy the relationships depicted are, and whether those relationships are explicitly romantic.

[Boys love, yaoi, shounen ai, male-male romance]

The Arts are made up of three types: Performing Arts (Music, Dance, Theater, Cosplaying, Acting, etc.), Visual Arts (Painting, Drawing, Film Making, Animation, Video Game Creation, Photography, etc.) and Literary Arts (Novel/Light Novel Writing, Manga/Doujin Writing, Lyric Writing, Journalism, Magazines, Editing, Dictionary Writing, Ghost Writing, etc.). While Performing Arts and Visual Arts have tags on MyAnimeList, Literary Arts do not, so this interest stack is rectifying that. Literary Arts have a long history with anime like the other two art forms, so this includes a wide variety of them. It may also include some that are about being passionate for literature rather than writing itself. Some series are excluded if they lean more towards Performing Arts or Visual Arts than Literary Arts, such as Kodocha, Saekano or The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. While some series may have major characters who are novelists, it needs to have Literary Arts be an important aspect of the plot in order for it to be included. Also, there will only be one series per franchise for the sake of variety.

Bisexual characters in anime. Some are headcanons.
