Ganbare Nakamura-san!! is a high school BL that feels surprisingly relatable (like the kind of awkward, clumsy crush you might have had back in school). It’s full of missteps, misunderstandings, and those embarrassing moments where you only can think is: "All I want is disappear". The plot revolves around a sweet and innocent boys’ friendship (for now i guess) premise, but what really makes it shine is its constant comedy and its focus on everyday situations. Nakamura’s struggles to get closer to his crush are both hilarious and endearing, making it easy to root for him despite all the chaos he creates. One of the standoutelements is the art design, inspired of the 80-90s aestheetic (and I LOVE it).

If you’re looking for an anime that focuses directly on an established relationship and follows a couple’s highschool-day life, this is not the right one! Instead, it shows how the characters gradually get to know each other and how their relationship slowly develops starting from friendship.
