Blue Lynx
is a Japanese anime label and subsidiary of Fuji TV. Founded in 2019, the label produces boys' love (''yaoi'') anime films exclusively. History Development of Blue Lynx began in 2017 through the efforts of Yuka Okayasu, a producer at Fuji TV who previously worked on the network's Noitamina anime programming block.
