Reviews for A Man Who Defies the World of BL

This manga is about a boy who lives in a yoai world, with one wrong move you end up in a yaoi relationship. Its funny it makes all does lovey moments in a yaoi seem odd or hella predictable. Its also funny to see the mc's interactions in a world full of gay men and obvious personalities like the delinquents, the upperclassmen, tsundere and many more similar. The Mc is always in the background during these yaoi moments and he wants no part in it and its hilarious. *DISCLAIMER ITS PURE COMEDY SO IF YOU WANT A MAIN ROMANTIC STORY YOU WONT GET IT!!

If you're the type of person who grew up consuming "yaoi" and BL for one reason or another (mine was gender confusion, what about you) you'll find yourself laughing open mouthed at this one. It's just so aware of the absurdities that the genre can get to and it is FUNNY. Man, it's funny every time, mainly if you're at that place where you still enjoy the genre but cannot deal with the more - for lack of a better word - stupid sides of it. You've been there. You've consumed the most dumpsterfire-clusterfuck storylines in anime and manga that could possibly exist just becauseit was BL and this was like, "normal, I guess". And then you grew up and realized NO, THAT WASN'T NORMAL. NOT AT ALL. It just knows how to point at that absurd thing you disregarded at a young age and say "hey, remember this shit??" as if it was an old friend who went through the same phase with you.

Great times overall. If you can identify with this whole thing, definately give it a try!

Holyshit, im not usually one for writing reviews but omg god, I felt compelled to by our fujioshi goddess from above. and my fujioshi heart kneed and worshiped the order. All in all jokes aside, this manga is phenomenal, truly a hidden gem, the comedy in this is just chef's kiss, I promise you it'd make your day, you'll find yourself laughing so loud the people near you would start to question your sanity, its a comedy goldmine. Our mc finds himself in the land of bl, a world of bl, a realm of bl. The fujioshi goddess must have loved him lmao, it takesall the popular troupes of boys love mangas and hilarity ensues. It cured my depression tbh, and it might cure yours.

I found the series to have a very fun, campy premise however I did find myself rather quickly becoming bored with the predictability. I found it a little repetitive but not bad. The series very much follows a formula for each chapter; introduce cliche BL trope, have the protagonist avoid it, little bit of comedy, two background male characters fall in love. I did dislike the fact that for the most part you don't see most of the background characters ever again. They're set up as a punchline and four page romance in a single chapter and then poof gone. I think I woulda personallyloved this series so much more if it had a consistent cast that I could latch onto.

The chapters are short so its good if you want a quick read. If you've been a long time BL reader it is funny to see the series kinda take the piss out of BL tropes in a sort of reverent light. I do think if nothing else its worth giving a go for a couple chapters.
