Well, to cut a long story short, I haven't had time to search for under 18 content to draw modern inspiration from for a story I'm working on.
(Since the main gay couple I wrote hardly even get to kiss once in the current revisions, much to my creative despair.)

I saw a comment on another website that the "forbidden love" aspect of BL (or Gay media if you prefer the term), is somehow cliché.

Now to cut another long summary short, the soon to be intergalactic mother in law to the MC in my story acts like this:

So yeah, that forbidden love aspect has to stay.
Even if that woman is the bane of my creative sanity to drive the plot.
(I hate her so much, and I hope the readers can hate her too.)

Is there any trending Shonen BL anime that I probably haven't watched yet?
(Aside from Yuri on Ice. I keep slacking on that.)
Any sort of anime inspiration besides what I can grasp from the comic industry's Marvel's Hulkling and Wiccan would help me understand the emotional additions I'll need to add to my list of plot edits and banter breaks.
