So the closest admission we have is this still from the show’s ending theme where a rainbow appears between two characters who are often shipped together. And promotional material for the show put out by Sanrio, Sho-Comi (the manga publisher) or Pierrot (the animation studio) makes no hint toward the queer reading of the show. You can tell me many things but you cannot deny the fact that all the guys in Sanrio Boys are gay coded and also follow the seme/uke stereotypesĪndou Mai, the author of the manga on which the anime is based, has refused to speak to the media about Sanrio Boys, so we don’t know for certain. Ok so is anyone else seeing a deeper meaning to Sanrio Boys or am I just crazy? I feel like the boy's liking Sanrio characters is symbolic for being gay and the main character being scared to admit it is an allusion to the fear of coming out? #SANRIOBOYS #SanrioDanshi /EmnthFau0c Sanrio boys is literally a show about coming out and feeling welcome in a group of lgbtq friends but they replaced every mention of being queer with Sanrio products
