Buddy daddies gay

Buddy Daddies has earned the reputation as the BL version of Spy x Family. Both stories contain similar themes around crime and parenting. They also incorporate quirky comedy, endearing characters, and heartwarming interactions. However, a notable difference is that Buddy Daddies features a male pairing who shares fatherhood responsibilities. The series challenges the tradition that a family must consist of one male and one woman. Instead, it showcases a infant raised in a loving home with two homosexual guardians.

Buddy Daddies focuses on the joys, challenges, and chaos of parenthood. Raising a child can be a stressful experience, which the anime depicts comically. The plots are typically mundane, like a field trip to the zoo or the first morning of preschool. Yet, the series injects its signature lighthearted humour to transport these everyday scenarios to life with hilarity. Each zany episode contains cheerful jokes, silly mischief, and entertaining mishaps. Beyond the playful antics, Buddy Daddies emphasizes sentimental ideas about nurturing family bonds.

The anime's force lies in its endearing protagonists. Every character has a well-defined personality marked by cha

Spoilers for Buddy Daddies

When Buddy Daddies first aired, many anime fans described it as “the queer version of Spy X Family” for its similarities in depicting two adults (in this case, two male assassins) adopting a youngster for practical reasons to create an unconventional, but unexpectedly loving family. These comparisons largely dried up when it became clear that the show was not depicting a romantic relationship between the two male leads—not even to queerbait or ship-tease them. Despite the lack of a love story between the protagonists, however, Buddy Daddies can still be interpret as a gay series. While lgbtq+ relationships in mainstream media are often defined by love-related and sexual attraction, Buddy Daddies stands out because it examines queerplatonic relationships, which is rarely depicted even in LGBTQIA+ storytelling.  

Within aromantic and asexual communities, a queerplatonic association (QPR) is defined as an intimate committed relationship which is not affectionate in nature. For many aro/ace folks who experience small to no idealistic and/or sexual attraction, queerplatonic relationships involve a level of commitment and heartfelt intimacy that arrive

i don’t necessarily perceive that buddy daddies is gay/BL per se—we quite literally don’t have the entire story yet, and to my knowledge there’s no manga that the writers are adapting from, so we also don’t contain much in the way of foresight for whatever is coming next. are rei and kazuki going to finish up together? maybe, maybe not, maybe it’ll be intentionally ambiguous and you can develop your own interpretation. calling it BL or the like by definition implies a canonical and explicitly stated non-platonic partnership between rei and kazuki. we don’t have that right now. we might get that later, but making assessments at this halfway point is just speculation.

that being said, buddy daddies is definitely queer, in the sense of having nontraditional family relationships and in-universe perceptions of those relationships that fit very neatly with our real-world thought of queerness. rei and kazuki are two men intentionally raising a daughter together with no caveats of “for the mission” or posing as a family for anyone’s safe

Why Buddy Daddies is not queerbaiting:

- Because it's not

But more seriously:

- It's FANS that said it was gay SxF, not the actual advertisements

- Rei and Kazuki's interactions are interestingly close but distant. Like a surface level knowledge about one another but a deep trust?

"I won't ask."

"I wouldn't tell."

Never at any aim so far (as of this post, episode 4) have they gotten uwu blushy around one another, just some blushing on Kazuki's part when he's embarrassed about messing up and Rei teasing him.

- During the miniature bed sharing scene, there was no "omg, two men, sharing a bed??? >////<" vibe. It was a four year aged wanting to share a bed with her dads, and her dads (neither blushing or getting flustered) saying that it wouldn't be comfortable. Scene ends with Kazuki getting hit in the face by a sleeping Miri and Rei soundly sleeping. It was used more for Rei character development than anything.

- Upon getting questioned about them both being Miri's dads, there's a really good post about how their reactions were more about "oh... I guess
