What problem does MDL have with GagaOOLala? Or is it the reverse? I don't understand it.

It's definitely not the reverse. Gaga00Lala has repeatedly asked to be recognized as a streaming site and MDL refuses to allow it. Check out the forums for the conversation that's been going on for years now.

He is as strong and good-looking as ever… And Kazuma is happy just being with him. However, Ren avoids the subject of their time in middle school rather unnaturally and acts like a friendly former-classmate… But he’s behaving this way because he is gay, and above all, fears being rejected by Kazuma. Yet one night, the two of them get together again…?"

Adapted from the manga series "4gatsu no Tokyo wa" (４月の東京は…) by Haru (ハル).
