AKA: A Man Who Defies the World of BL Season 2

When I reviewed the first season, I said that it might get better in Season 2. After all, Season 1 is largely about the protagonist's gay panic as he realizes that he is a character in a BL world. Although there are many couples featured, the main character himself only comes to terms with his love for another guy at the end of Season 1.

I thought then that Season 2 would be more interesting because there may finally be development. Unfortunately Season 2 is more of the same old stuff. It starts where Season 1 ends (i.e. where the protagonist confesses to another guy his love). Unfortunately, the confession amounts to nothing as this other guy's ex-boyfriend appears and our dear protagonist runs away.

So he basically reverts to his previous self, resisting all possible ships with other men. Until he meets that guy he has confessed to again.

In a way, perhaps there isn't really much of a way out of it. The series would undermine its basic premise if it does not do more of the same stuff. (The protagonist is supposed to be a man who is aware that he is a BL character and tries his darn best to resist being shipped with another man. So if he no longer resists, the series either ends of takes on quite a different character.)

Nevertheless, the mini series is still quite delightful as a BL series that is able to laugh at itself. There is humor and lots of cuteness. And being rather short, it doesn't feel at all draggy. Some might even be craving for more.
