As I mentioned, the deeper you get into Needless the more you realize it's way different from TTGL. The resemblances are skin-deep.

the manga existing beforehand doesn't mean that the anime producers didn't flavor it to be like GL, and it's silly to say that they wouldn't . Ever since GL, manly shows are 'in' so it's no surprise. Madhouse producer Masao Maruyama even confirmed the fact that manly shows were 'in' at his panel at otakon, which is why they produced Souten Kouro as well.
