What Is “Tamaranaikoi wa Koi nanoka”?
Tamaranaikoi wa Koi nanoka (Is This Unbearable Feeling… Love?) is a special TV anime adaptation of a boys’ love (BL) manga that aired during Japan’s “Agaru BL Night!” programming block. The anime tells a touching and intimate one-episode story about connection, emotional walls, and unexpected feelings between two high school boys.
Meet the Characters: Misuzu and Kitahara
Misuzu is a high school student who never wanted to be a delinquent—but after one incident, he found himself constantly fighting and isolated. One day, he sees Kitahara, a smart and quiet honor student, being harassed and steps in to help. That one act sparks an unlikely bond.
Despite his tough exterior, Misuzu warns Kitahara, “People around me tend to drift away.” But Kitahara doesn’t back down. As the two grow closer, Misuzu’s defenses begin to crack, revealing a much softer heart. The result is a gentle yet bittersweet emotional ride packed into just one episode.
