As a love letter to and a parody of yaoi (and fudanshis), this two-part series adds up to perfection.

The story was hilarious, and like any good parody, poked fun at itself. Bartender Hibiki is a ridiculous and exaggerated BL fan, which he is aware of, just as he is aware of his exceptional mixology skills. His obsession with the perfect "ships" for the two other guy bartenders, as well as his fantasies about the male customers, is quite comical - and rings a bit true, at least to me. I, too, can find myself daydreaming about the perfect BL ships and story lines. (I just wish I could make a perfect kir at the same time I was daydreaming...) It is parody with affection and a love letter to the BL art form.

The acting is superb. All the characters nailed the humor. My personal favorite is Bartender Hokuto. She had some of the funniest scenes and lines (besides Hibiki).

I would re-watch it without hesitation. It makes for a great, rollicking time. Sort of reminds me of South Korean parody The Boy Next Door in terms of sheer hilarity.
