Is it possible to separate these somehow? It's a little confusing if you're looking for the characters page for the BL manga and suddenly it's a list of completely different characters from a visual novel and vice versa.

I see the manga has been localized as Classmates, so it should be moved to Manga.Classmates.

And the general rule is to rename one or both with some sort of differentiator appended to the title. Years are common, as is the case with C.O.P.S. (1988) and COPS (1989). Countries are also sometimes used, as in the case of Dennis the Menace (UK) and Dennis the Menace (US).

For future reference, this thread handles "how can we separate these works with the same name" questions.

Locking this one as resolved.
