Yuri!!! on Ice: More Than Just Figure Skating
Okay, hear me out. Yuri!!! on Ice might seem like a sports anime, but it's also a deeply romantic story about self-acceptance and finding your passion. The relationship between Yuri and Victor is so heartwarming.
It's got that same "opposites attract" energy as The Stranger by the Shore, but with more glitter and jumps.
Finding Yourself, Finding Love
A big part of The Stranger by the Shore is about the characters figuring out who they are and what they want. It's about accepting yourself, flaws and all. What if you need another story like that?

This movie is pure sunshine and awkward first love. It follows two high school boys as they fall for each other. It is a story about the joy and uncertainty of young love.
The animation is gorgeous and the story is just so sweet. Get ready to swoon!
More Than Just Romance
It's not just romance, though; there's also the theme of finding a place where you belong, finding your chosen family. It’s also a movie about the fear of being an outcast. What else explores that?
Natsume's Book of Friends: A Touch of the Supernatural
While not strictly a BL (boy's love) anime, Natsume's Book of Friends has a similar gentle and heartwarming feel. It's about a boy who can see spirits and helps them find peace. It also highlights the importance of connections and found family.
It's episodic, so you can easily jump in and out. Just be prepared to cry a little (in a good way).
