Delinquent x Artist BL Anime? Cure Jie Yao Donghua Review
6One day while scrolling through Viki, I landed upon the Chinese animation, donghua, Cure. On Viki, there was no romance or BL tag, but I knew in my heart of hearts, this was a BL story. Based on a popular web novel turned manhua, Cure/ Jie Yao is a story about two unlikely guys growing closer and forging a new future together.
In this video, I discuss why Cure can't outright call itself a BL story due to censorship but how the story conveys the love all the same.
