Last year, this project was held on Valentine's Day, and in 2020, it was held for two weeks from March 14 to March 27, 2020.

Since logging in to Akiba Research Institute is now required for official voting, the total number of votes cast is smaller than in previous official voting projects, but the accuracy of the voting has increased, so please pay attention to the results.

The results of this year's poll were similar to the previous year's poll in the way the votes were split.

The results were as follows: " Haru wo Hataiteita" came in first place, followed by its derivative work "Fuyu no Semi ~Edo Koi Uta~" in second place, making for a brilliant one-two finish, as in the previous year.
Haru wo Muketa Ita" and its derivative work "Fuyutsu no Semi - Edo Koi Uta" were both popular works in this year's poll, which was also held last year, with "Haru Muketa" initially ranked 26th with 5 votes and "Fuyutsu no Semi - Edo Koi Uta" 33rd with 3 votes, but they gradually caught up and eventually won first and second place with overwhelming votes. The original story was serialized in "MAGAZINE BE × BOY" (Libre Publishing) from 1999, and once ended in 2009 with 14 volumes, but with the enthusiastic support of fans, the serialization was resumed in April 2012 with a new chapter, "Haru wo Hagitaita ALIVE. Finally, the story of Iwaki and Kato reached its final installment in the April 2020 issue of "Be Boy Gold," which was released in February 2020. Coincidentally, the poll was held from March 14, after the magazine went on sale, and the result was the culmination of the passion of the fans who have been watching over the two "husband-and-wife" duo for many years.

Next in third place was the "World's First Love" series, which came in fifth the previous year. As in the previous year, "World's First Love the Movie: Takashi Yokozawa's Case," a derivative work, came in at 6th place, followed by "Junjo Romantica" at 7th place, which is also linked to the "World's First Love" series, and "Hybrid Child" at 8th place, making a total of four works related to Shungiku Nakamura this year, This ranking shows the popularity of Shungiku Nakamura in the BL anime industry.

The most notable work in this year's BL Anime Poll, with such regular works at the top of the list, is the theater anime "Tsubiru Tori ha Hatabatanai The clouds gather," which was announced as a theater anime last April and finally screened in theaters in February of this year. This work is based on "Tsubaru Tori ha Habatanai", a very popular BL comic series serialized in "ihr HertZ" (Taiyo Publishing) by Kou Yoneda, which has sold over 1.4 million copies in total. Like the comic, the drama CD has been released up to its sixth volume, but the cast was not changed for the anime adaptation, and fans were delighted to hear the voice of this work, and it was a convincing 4th place winner, showing its popularity.

Given," which also made its first appearance at this year's festival, also did very well, coming in at No. 8. This work "Given" and the previous "Tsutsuuru Tori ha Hatabanakana" are both works of "BLUE LYNX," a new anime label established by Fuji Television Network that specializes in BL (boys' love) and produces mainly theater anime. Following the TV anime adaptation, a theater anime production is also in the works, and the title is expected to make further progress.

The fifth-place finisher, "I'm Being Threatened by the Man I Want to Be Embraced, No. 1. is a popular work that has sold more than 3 million copies, an astonishing feat in the BL manga world, and was adapted into a TV anime in October 2018. The popular work, which had a fierce dead heat with "Haru wo Hataiteita" and "Fuyu no Semi: Edo Koi Uta" in the previous poll, was naturally ranked in the Top 10 from the start of this year as well, showing a comfortable result.

Although the cast of "SUPER LOVERS," which ranked 10th, was changed from the drama CD to the TV anime adaptation, the gap between the age-appropriate cuteness of Ren Kaido, played by Junko Minagawa, and the masculinity that she sometimes shows due to her straightforward and pure character, may have made many viewers fall in love with her. The gap between the cuteness of Ren Kaido, played by Junko Minagawa, and the masculinity that he sometimes shows because he is so straight and pure, probably made many viewers fall in love with him.

In addition to the top 10 most popular titles, we also have "Gravitation" and "Papa de tete a tete," among others, so be sure to check out the rankings below.
