Japan Does It Again, A Weird, Funny, and Steamy Butt ? BL That Actually Works
Sometimes a short series can be far more entertaining than a typical 45-minute drama, and Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good? proves exactly that. At just 13 minutes for its first episode, it wastes no time pulling you into its hilarious, romantic, and unexpectedly steamy story.Ainosuke only wanted to experience one very specific fantasy 🍑, but he definitely wasn't expecting it to come with a CEO. After a chance encounter turns into a passionate night, he discovers at his job interview that his future boss is the same man. 😂
One detail I really appreciated is how well the casting reflects the story. Sho Sakai is 25 in real life, while Kimisawa Yuki is 41, creating a 16-year age difference that closely matches the characters' relationship. It makes the age-gap dynamic feel much more believable. Kimisawa Yuki is incredibly handsome as the tall, muscular, mature businessman, while Sho Sakai perfectly captures Ainosuke's youthful charm and innocence.
Their chemistry was instant. They meet on the train, cross paths again at a café, and things escalate quickly. The intimate scenes were passionate, realistic, and filled with convincing kisses that made their attraction feel natural rather than forced.
The biggest laugh came the next morning when Ainosuke rushed to his job interview, only to discover that the man he had just spent the night with was not only his future boss but also the company's president.
Overall, this was a fantastic opening episode. The acting is solid, the chemistry is excellent, and the blend of workplace romance, comedy, and steamy moments makes it incredibly entertaining.
Japan always manages to surprise me with their weird and unconventional BL stories, and I'm completely here for it. I can't wait to see how this heartfelt CEO-and-university-student romance develops.

First Impression: Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good
Overall: the first episode was good.10 episodes about 13 minutes each. Airing on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/8151/are-the-sexy-buttocks-not-good-2026-e01 (not available in Taiwan, Japan or Korea)Content Warning: groping (not between the MLs)
What I Liked
- age gap/experience gap
- intimacy
Room For Improvement
- borderline victim blaming with telling him not to be on the dating app on the train
- (neutral) one character has an overacting style that I've seen in several Japanese series

A surprisingly funny first episode.
The story begins with a college student who is simply curious about sex rather than romance. His curiosity leads him into an unexpected encounter with a sophisticated older man—who later turns out to be the president of the company where he gets a job.The setup is outrageous, but the comedy keeps it entertaining instead of awkward.
I haven't read the original manga yet, but the casting immediately caught my attention. Sho Sakai perfectly fits the innocent yet curious Ainosuke, while Yuki Kimisawa has exactly the mature charm needed for the company president.
After the success of Fukami-kun, it feels like Japanese BL dramas are becoming more confident with slightly bolder themes. I'm looking forward to seeing whether this series develops beyond its provocative premise.

Excuse Me While I Laugh… This Show is Silly
What did I just watch? I can’t even stop laughing because huhhhh???!!! LMFAOOOOI don’t even know what to say, it’s such a silly show, that’s just all it is. Now, to satisfy the curiosity of those who want to watch (it’s an older man falls in love with a younger cute guy trope) but it’s so untypical.
The first episode is …ummm silly?? or what’s another word for silly? It is just that.
I can’t even tell what else the other episodes would have but I may or may not keep watching lol
Don’t want to experience this alone so you better watch it too. (P.S: do not expect too much or even anything at all)
