Dramas featuring LGBT characters?

Yeah, I wish there were more dramas out there that portrayed it, but it seems that there aren't that many. I guess it's easier to do movies, since they won't have to worry about censors banning it.

I've seen Antique. Good movie, but some parts were so sad.

http://mydramalist.com/japanese-drama/481/dare-yori-mo-mama-wo-aisu One of the characters in this is gay if I remember correctly. I agree with everyone else, there just isn't enough of this type of drama..

I'm kinda surprised Hana Kimi isn't mentioned yet :D There was one gay guy who was in love with Nanba-senpai, though it was portrayed in a comic manner, so if you're looking for a seriously portrayed relationship, that doesn't fit.

Love Shuffle was already mentioned, but sadly, the fact that one of the characters is gay, is actually a spoiler, and rather important one...

And then there's Japanese movie called Boys Love, the main plot line is about two gay guys struggling with a relationship. And it's pretty much not explicit to be shocking, it has only one or two sex scenes, and the most you can see is a naked butt.

[That's it from the ones I watched]

Oh! I forgot about Hana Kimi! Although it was 'I'm not gay, I'm only gay for senpai!' lol.

What about the Takumi-kun movies? The first one is Soshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite.

You know, I didn't really care too much for Soshite, Harukaze ni Sasyaite, but I'm so totally in love with Yanagishita Tomo I would seriously watch the guy do taxes for two hours if they taped it!
Ha ha, thanks for the recs though.

There's the Takumi kun Series of movies = 1. Soshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite 2. Nijiiro no Garasu 3. Bibou No Diteiru 4. Pure 5. Ano, Hareta Aozora I haven't seen them so I can say one way or the other - just search for Takumi kun on here and they come up - but not in order. Hope that helps

No worries, I was looking more for dramas, but movies are good too. Thanks for the rec, I appreciate it. :)
