Im a bl fan and he is not (honestly it kinda like free without the abs), it about the love of skateboarding, friendship, some angst (but what do you except, its a sports manga), and wholesome shit. Anyway like most sports the prime focus is the love and passion toward the sport unless highlight otherwise.
But then again its how you interput it
It could be platonic love or romantic love. Its all base on how look at it and as long as your not threating anyone with your opinion (it has happen to me). Either way, its a good sports manga and anime.
TONS of gay subtext and hints (the way they look at each other and Langa’s conversation with his mother is obvious), but not an official BL.
langa definitely loves reki, but whether it's romantic is rlly just up to interpretation. to be fair, it is a sports anime- there's not meant to be a romantic subplot at all, so the relationship is always ambiguous in terms of categorization.
i forgot which episode when it happened but at one point langas mother asks him if he likes the person hes talking abt (using the romantic sort of 'like' in japanese
and theyre talking about reki) and langa blushes and says 'Yeah.' So it's either he really does love him or there was some sort of mistake on langa's part. The only logical explanation is that langa is not too familiar with japanese so he might've gotten it wrong but idk if bones thought of that..
I wanna know too tbh
I think it's just a regular shounen-ai anime or just a shounen anime, but it has been confirmed renga* langa x reiki is canon
If there is a season 2, they better up the ante ala Yuri on Ice style! We need more than loving glances lol
I just hope this doesn't turn into the bnha fnadom
Fandom*
yeah I'd be disappointed if it did
Yeah me too for many reasons.
in an interview with the creator or whatever they confirmed that Reki and Langa have feelings for each other
Can u send me a link to which one
and just the subtext of the show and the official art show that they like each other. skating is a metaphor for love and they realize they can only do it together or its no fun, they are each other's happiness. (also when Reki and Langa look at each other in later episodes their eyes have the same look as in episode 6 when they're practicing flirting)
Okay thanks lol
yuhh
We dont know if he is gay but he canonically has a crush on reki, we saw that in the show. So it's not queer baiting its queer coding
yo, idk who confirmed it or if this shit is official (likely not, for now?) but google "is Langa a gay character" and it pops up that he is, according to LGBT Wikia Fandom and that his crush is Reki. I know this story mad queerbaiting but Imma need some real answers on is Langa gay....
