One day when a girl named Haruhi accidentally breaks an item of the club, she is forced to join the club as punishment and becomes the play toy of the group members.Įven though the anime focuses on the relationship of Hikaru with the boys of the school club, there are several moments where we get to see sweet and funny interactions between the boys. The story revolves around a high school club filled with handsome boys. And the other reason I have put it in is that I wanted to make this list longer. Whether you have watched this anime or not, I’ll say upfront that it is not a BL anime.
The demon, Sebastian, serves Ciel as his butler, justifying the title of the anime. To achieve his quest, he joins hands with a demon. Ciel’s sole purpose in life is to revenge his parent’s death.

Till then, you can watch these 4 BL animes.īut I have to state it beforehand that not every anime on this list has BL as the main plot. Hulu is a big streaming platform and hopefully, in the future, they’ll add some good BL animes to their catalog. But to my disappointment, there weren’t many BL animes available on Hulu.
