Unexpected sequel from the show that defines what decent rom-com story looks like

Grateful for the out of the blue sequel of one of the humorous mini-series I’ve ever watched. Huge fan of the prequel as it made me cry due to the extreme happiness I acquired from the show. However, the excitement I felt during the first season has a huge gap compared to this one. It is less fun in contrast to its previous show. Some scenes in this season are acted in an over dramatic way that is intended to be fun but turned out to be cringe occasionally. Yet, this is still a good quality of rom-com drama provided to every BL fans out there.

Glad to see the playful characters once again but more well pleased to be able to hear those bop music from the opening and ending song once more. They made a new concept to the MOB-song; styling them as 80's - 90’s anime characters that came into life is remarkably cool and authentic. Those silly steps and colorful vibes are sending me real entertainment. I wish they released the song on some streaming sites such as Spotify and YouTube. As usual, Bubble Love by Da-iCE manages to maintain its spot to my favorite Japanese soundtrack playlist.

I followed some of the actors on their Instagram account and Ito Asahi, the artist who played as Kikuchi, got my attention ever since the first season. His cute facial expressions with those bubbly eyes, pointed nose, and kissable lips is worthy to adore. He has a low tone of voice that matches his innocent looks. Aside from him, Toujou (Shiono Akihisa in real life) is the runner up from the rest of the cast that stood to me the most. On the other hand, the duality of Inukai Atsuhiro is something that I found amusing since he can play as the flamboyant Mob and as the fiery Shiro from his recent drama, Kei x Yaku: Dangerous Buddy. From the looks, personality, and character, they are like heaven and earth.

The idea of naming the school as BL University is a witty addition of spice for a story revolving inside the world of a BL manga. The improvement between Touji and Ayano’s romance was great. They’re like a perfect representation of a classic campus sweetheart couple but with a different approach since they established all of their clips from this season outside the school. The kiss suits the age of their characters since it was like a teenage pecking of lips but a part of me wishes that they should perform a more intimate kiss. Moreover, the most important thing is that they included a kissing scene from this season making it their second or third on-screen kiss in the show.

The episode in which a certain lovely girl suddenly switched into a flirty guy made me question if that person is a HE or SHE in real life. She looks like a girl but I’m in doubt since the story only casted male actors so far and the absence of women in the show is almost concluded.

Our MOB finally loosened and let himself carry the flow of the BL manga author that leads him to be the main character of his own. I like that even the ending clip admits that the kiss is such a cliffhanger and ends up in a sudden long distance relationship. I have a strong feeling that the third season is likely to happen since the main character mentioned it during the last scene. The production may be either on the way or already finished taping. Nevertheless, with or without a third season, A Man Who Defies the World of BL is a fine work of art in the field of short filmmaking for a mini-series category.
