BL with good female characters
I love women and I love BL dramas, and it's sad how most of the time women in the shows are either villains, fetishizers, or just not there at all. So here are some with good female characters (that aren't just parental figures). Preferably women who are main characters or very important to the story, but sometimes I might just love them so much that i include them anyways

1. Bad Buddy

Pa and Ink. Genuinely enough said. As individual characters I completely love them, together I completely love them

2. Kieta Hatsukoi

Hashimoto is one of my favorite characters from anything, but especially a woman from a BL. She's perfect, adorable, sweet, but tough. I love her.
