Hilarious, witty and sweet!
Goodness the amount of times I've laughed because of this series, it's uncountable!!! I can't believe that this didn't get on my path earlier!The maincharacter is hilariously and painfully aware of himself and I love this so much! I also love the beautiful and talented ensemble cast and I especially love that yk, the MC isn't even homophobic, he just doesn't want to become one of those cheesy main characters in a BL manga, which is fair.
I also love the opening credits: the dance and the song are so addictive!!!
If you're a BL fan you'll certainly recognise the many tropes that are present in this series that are being put upside down and be able to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
So, go watch it! (I found it on daily motion ;) )

Hilarious and Fun Show
This show tells the story of a “straight” man who discovers that he was living in a BL world. All around him are boys falling in love and BL tropes happening. However, despite all of this, he is determined to find himself a girlfriend. The story focuses on him trying his best to escape all BL tropes and not become a “main character”**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT
- The premise of the show is so unique that I absolutely loved it. I haven’t seen anything like it before and the show delivers on their promise perfectly.
- The acting is absolutely hilarious. The MC really goes through a lot of emotions and he depicts them perfectly. Tropes that we might have found super romantic in another show just seemed hilarious in this one because of the MC’s reaction to it.
- I really like the MC’s little brother. He’s really cute and his romantic story is hilarious because he has 3 people pining for him.
- This show is extremely funny because it applies BL logic to real life and the MC is a normal person witnessing all this and trying to adapt. I like how he can write out a BL story in his head just by seeing someone for about a few seconds.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT
- I really didn’t like the MC’s love interest because first, there is no build up, just instant fall in love. And that love interest kisses another guy in season 2 before deciding MC is the better choice for him. He’s not good looking and he’s just not likeable.
**Conclusion**
This is a hilarious series that you need to take a look.

A Fun Time
I don't know how I came across this movie, but I am really happy I did. I am typically not a huge fan of really exaggerated acting (like Tsuge from Cherry Magic), as it usually makes my second hand embarrassment flare up, but I really think it works for this movie because of the absurdity of the premise.I have watched quite a bit of BL at this point, so I feel like I can appreciate all of the ways in which this movie pokes fun at the genre. I think this movie is a fun time, and I would recommend it to pretty much any BL fan.

hilarious
This is one of the funniest series I've seen in a while.The main character 'mob' plays his role so well, his face expressions and inner monologues are on point.
I think I laughed so hard even my neighbours heard.
Also, very binge worthy since it doesnt take that long, i went through all of it in one sitting (it says here 120 min but one rakuten it was divided into 4 episodes)
The scene where he was smelling the backs of his possible 'saviors', was hilarious,
and i loved the 'bubble love' theme song
starting on that second season right away!

So Funny!
This show is the definition of "stupid funny". The theme is so outlandish it's just too cute to pass up! They succeeded with the never seen before storyline and it wasn't cliché at all. I was laughing the whole time and the visuals are very nice lol. I liked that it wasn't all about kissing or sex. It's nice to be surprised with something different sometimes. I'm here cause my little cupcake Yutaro (from Cherry Magic) and I'm loving it. Looking forward to a S2! I'd recommend to pretty much anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Even just the opening had me giggly.Enjoy...

The tropes quickly come one after the other, and the whole drama is very fast-paced.
I loved all the side couples and the couples in the background. Also the parents really are the epitome of "mob"!
There is one, maybe a minor, point I did not like:
* I don't understand why "Mob" is so desperate to avoid a romance storyline -- I get it in the beginning, when he's reading about "Meriba"-endings, which I wouldn't like for me either, but after a while it just feels a bit homophobic, especially as he doesn't want his little brother to end up with a guy too! I wish we'd get a better explanation for that. As it is, the whole thing feels a little off for me especially regarding the ending, which kind of comes out of nowhere.
Recommended, if you need a laugh and if you know a lot of BL tropes.

The last episode is pretty watchable. Other episodes failed to entertain me. I see the potential, but for me, the execution of lines failed miserably and the storyline is a little bit lacking in substance. Anyways, maybe I'm not young enough to enjoy this kind of series. I'll watch the season 2, hoping for an upgrade.
Personally, I don't recommend this to watchers who wants a more realistic and logical storyline.

To be honest, if I had not read the manga, it would be a 10. I adore the manga, and I think their plotlines might be diverging (I am not sure though). I think I would have preferred a more open ending. It is just that if the creators chose to diverge in the plotline, I would have liked if there was more of a buildup to the relationship. But that would have not worked, because it is very short, and I do understand there are budget constraints. Personally, I was waiting for the guy who was the main character's little brother's classmate to show up. He is another potential love interest for the main character in the manga, but he didn't show up. Still, I am very pleased with what they have done, and I really, really love it.

A Hilarious BL Parody & Appreciation Show
A Man Who Defies the World of BL airs on Viki as a four episode series. This comedic fantasy tells the story of "Mob," an average college student who realizes that he lives inside of a Boy Love world. Trying to avoid becoming the protagonist of his own BL story line, Mob researches all the tropes of Boy Love manga so he can avoid them in real life. He watches his classmates, friends, and even his younger brother fall into a boys' love plot. The more he fights the reality of his world, the more inevitable it becomes that he cannot avoid it despite wanting a girlfriend.Mob is hilariously played by Atsushiro Inukaj. His hysterical inner monologue and over-the-top facial expressions truly sell the ridiculous notion that Mob can avoid the pitfalls of living in a BL world. The show is funny even if you're not familiar with shoujo/BL romance anime or manga tropes. If you are familiar with them, the show is even funnier as the viewer knows Mob will not escape this story line without falling in love.
Although the brevity of the series makes it easier to complete in a day, I wish the ending was bit a longer and more fleshed out.
According to Viki, this series/movie was adapted from the manga of the same name.

Hilarant
Un véritable antidépresseur ! C'est hilarant de voir tous ces clichés BL qu'on aime tant, moqués gentiment et avec humour et de voir le héros les connaître par cœur pour essayer d'y échapper. Vraiment, de la première seconde du générique (que personne n'a jamais passé dans les commentaires) à la dernière seconde d'un épisode, c'était de la bonne humeur non stop et ça fait vraiment du bien. Je n'ai pas encore regardé les autres saisons par peur d'être déçue, mais ça viendra et j'espère rire autant qu'avec celle ciWas this review helpful to you?

I watched this series back in 2021, and I love this series. It brings classic comedy and cliches that happens on a BL mangas and animes. It's funny, light, and also enjoyable. Maybe this series could be cringey for some people, but for someone who's been following animes and japanese dramas for a long time, this cliches are relatable and accurate. The manga is waaaay more funnier, though. I love how Atsuhiro portrayed the main character, and how he reacts to every cliches that happens around him was very funny. I think this series could be more enjoyable by someone who have been reading mangas or watching japanese BLs. Was this review helpful to you?
Funny and cute
This is a hilarious BL and well worth watching. I like the way they make the story out-of-the-box and different from other BL series. The casts are cute and funny. There are many short love stories of several BL couples embedded in this movie. What I like most about this BL is the presentation of the movie which is really interesting and funny at the same time so I was hooked up till the end. I agree it's very difficult to avoid falling into BL word as BL is becoming popular day by day. A perfect movie for those who like light happy and funny BL.Was this review helpful to you?
