Chinese Anime Bromances: Unexpected Pairs We Love

As a gay man who loves Chinese animation or donghua, I’ve found myself drawn to certain bromance pairs that aren’t explicitly labeled as such, but still ignite a spark within me. While these characters may not be confirmed couples, their relationships and friendships have resonated deeply with me.

Chinese Anime Bromance Duo We Never Thought We Need

Here are a few Chinese anime bromance pairs that I believe deserve recognition:

Lan Sizhui & Lan Jingyi (Mo Dao Zu Shi)

This young duo of cultivators from Gusu Lan Sect share a unique bond. They’re partners in crime and in everything they do, and their dynamic is both heartwarming and intriguing.

Cheng Xiaoshi & Lu Guang (Link Click)

While the romantic relationship between Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang is not explicitly confirmed in Link Click, their genuine care for each other and their emotional connection transcend time and distance.

Feng Zuojun & Xue Yuling (Word of Honor)

These two characters from Word of Honor (Jun You Yun) have a playful banter, but their friendship is as endearing as their action-packed scenes.

Wang Chao & Zhang Tong (Dragon’s Disciple)

The camaraderie and friendship between Wang Chao and Zhang Tong is a highlight of Dragon’s Disciple. Their dynamic is both inspiring and heartwarming.

Han Fei & Wei Zhuang (Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens)

The relationship between Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, the founders of the infamous Quicksand organization, is shrouded in mystery. Their contrasting personalities and their shared journey create a compelling dynamic.

Wang Ye & Zhuge Qing (The Outcast)

From rivals to close friends, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing’s relationship in The Outcast is a testament to the power of unexpected connections.

These are just a few examples of the many Chinese anime bromance pairs that have captured my heart. While they may not be explicitly labeled as such, their relationships and friendships have resonated deeply with me as a gay man who loves donghua.
