Both are parodies of BL and their tropes, and both have a similar zany style of humor and a very light dash of romance.

Both of these Japanese productions feature dramatic BL moments that occur spontaneously, and wrap up in an equally dramatic and spontaneous matter, while the ML more or less just watches it happen.

Both shows are quirky and hilarious. Smells Like Green Spirit has more serious elements to the plot though.

This work stars Akafuji Yuichiro, a popular and handsome actor, and Aoyagi Hajime, a former popular child actor who has the ability but is currently unremarkable. The story begins when they are chosen to play the double lead roles in the live-action adaptation of an extremely popular BL manga.

They start living together in order to prepare for the role and get publicity, but Akafuji has a curt attitude toward Aoyagi, and Aoyagi doesn't like Akafuji either.

However, there was a reason for his curt attitude. In reality, Akafuji was deeply in love with Aoyagi.

Akafuji tries his best to hide his feelings, and Aoyagi tries to get along with the other but mistakenly thinks that he hates him. The misunderstanding between the two leads to an unexpected slapstick comedy in this "Cohabitation Romantic Comedy".

Both BL parodies. While this series directly pokes fun at BL tropes and clichés, The Boy Next Door imitates BL through situational irony.

No hobbies, no friends, no lover. There are a lot of things that Kouki doesn’t have. The story begins when Kouki, an apathetic convenience store worker who struggles to find meaning in his daily life, is stabbed by a random thug. In his dying moments, he sees a beautiful angel with pure white wings.

Thinking he was being taken to the afterlife, he is surprised to wake up and find himself fully recovered. When he returns home, he discovers the same angel from before is already there. After learning that the angel has no memories and cannot fly, he takes pity on him and decides to let him stay with him for a while…

they tell similar stories, the ridicilous, comedic and cliches of bl series. In Zettai Bl, main character is in a Bl world but in Fudanshi Bartender, main character is a fudanshi

Both are parodies about the world of Asian drama / manga in which a person in this world experience it as an outsider. While Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko deals with BL Manga, Drama world deals with Korean Drama. They use a lot of clichés a fan will recognize instantly

It's the sequel. While the second part is not as funny as the first one, it's still very good. The second part calls out more BL drama cliches, but it's also a tad bit more emotional than the first part.
