'Tunku': A New Era for BL Content

On June 23, 2026, Dwango Co., Ltd. will unveil 'Tunku', a state-of-the-art subscription platform dedicated to Boys Love (BL) visual and audio content, built upon its innovative fan community system, 'sheeta'. This launch follows an initial rollout started on April 23, showcasing the company's commitment to elevating the BL genre through exclusive channels and content.

Inspired by KADOKAWA's prominent BL drama label established in 2022, which has produced renowned titles such as 'Taikan Yobou' and 'Kou-kun and Amagi-kun', 'Tunku' is poised to deliver a diverse range of offerings that will capture the hearts of BL enthusiasts. With features including unlimited viewing of films, access to various audio content, and community engagement opportunities, 'Tunku' promises a multifaceted experience for fans.

The platform's central philosophy, 'Creating a space to enjoy BL more deeply,' is reflected in its wide-ranging content. Subscribers will have access to official channels, creator-led programming, live streaming, behind-the-scenes videos, radio shows, and other fun projects that foster interaction and experience sharing among fans.

Exclusive Content and Upcoming Events

In celebration of its official launch, Tunku has planned several engaging initiatives including an online screening of the popular TV drama 'Utsukushii Kare' (Beautiful Boy). Recognized for its excellence, the show won the Galaxy Award for Best TV Drama for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023. The screening event will feature both seasons, with Season 1 commencing on July 10 and Season 2 on July 17. This kind of immersive viewing experience is complemented by live commentaries, enhancing community interaction.

Additionally, Tunku will roll out its first exclusive content — the voice comic 'End Roll to Hell', scheduled to premiere in the summer of 2026. A notable highlight is the participation of voice actor Yuusuke Shirai in the lead role, with further casting announcements to follow on Tunku's official social media channels.

Furthermore, the platform will make its debut at the significant BL event 'Boys Love Tokyo 2026', happening from June 27 to 28. Visitors to the Tunku booth will enjoy exclusive offers such as free original clear files, fostering community connections.

A Commitment to BL Culture

Dwango is committed to reinvesting the revenue generated from Tunku back into new original content and media mix initiatives, thus contributing to the ongoing growth of BL culture. The evolving landscape of content creation is mirrored in Tunku's diverse catalog, set to expand with new genres and creators.

Fans can look forward to a variety of subscription options, with channels focused on unlimited video and audio content catering to BL, LGBTQ+, bromance, and more. Tunku's future expansions will also include channels highlighting unique content such as original voice works, behind-the-scenes coverage, and collaborations with popular creators in the YouTube space.

Tunku's user-friendly interface and dynamic programming ensure that it serves not just as a viewing platform, but as a vivid community where fans can engage in discussions, share perspectives, and connect more deeply with their favorite works and personalities.
