DNAngel works best if you've never read the manga. I can't remember how blatant the boy love was, but it's been a year or two since I've watched it.

Enjoyed it enough to watch all the way through. Didn't enjoy it enough to watch a second time.

Never read the manga. Flipped through it, but it looked like the kind of series that works best for me as anime. Though...I thought the central romance was the hero's crush liked his alter ego and crush's sister liked hero? Or something like that?

Basically. Although it's complicated by the fact that the hero's alter-ego is a thief. The fellow who wants to catch the thief has a boy-love crush on the hero.

The big difference between the anime and the manga is the anime ends. (The manga is stuck in limbo.) The anime is a little more "theft of the week" than the manga.
