Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good?

Japan Does It Again: A Weird, Naughty, Steamy Butt BL That Somehow Actually Works!

Sometimes a short series can be far more entertaining than a typical 45-minute drama, and Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good? proves exactly that. At just 13 minutes episodes, it wastes no time pulling you into its hilarious, romantic, and unexpectedly steamy story.

Ainosuke only wanted to experience one very specific fantasy 🍑, but he definitely wasn't expecting it to come with a CEO. After a chance encounter turns into a passionate night, he discovers at his job interview that his future boss is the same man. 😂

One detail I really appreciated is how well the casting reflects the story. Sho Sakai is 25 in real life, while Kimisawa Yuki is 41, creating a 16-year age difference that closely matches the characters' relationship. It makes the age-gap dynamic feel much more believable. Kimisawa Yuki is incredibly handsome as the tall, muscular, mature businessman, while Sho Sakai perfectly captures Ainosuke's youthful charm and innocence.

I know the 16+ year age gap can put some people off, but Hideaki is a mature adult, and he is so lovely and caring towards Ainosuke. If he were a creep or treated Ainosuke badly, then I could understand the concern, but their relationship is the complete opposite. For me, age really doesn’t matter when the relationship is healthy and respectful. Sometimes opposites attract, and I actually think the age gap is what makes this series so unique for me. If they were the same age, it would just feel like another standard BL, but the age gap adds something different and makes their relationship even more interesting and addictive to watch

And their chemistry was instant. They meet on the train, cross paths again at a café, and things escalate quickly. The intimate scenes were passionate, realistic, and filled with convincing kisses that made their attraction feel natural rather than forced.

The biggest laugh came the next morning when Ainosuke rushed to his job interview, only to discover that the man he had just spent the night with was not only his future boss but also the company's president.

Overall, this was a fantastic series. The acting is solid, the chemistry is excellent, and the blend of workplace romance, comedy, and steamy moments makes it incredibly entertaining.

Also this series is so funny and naughty. I'm obsessed. But waiting 168 hours for a 13 minute episode should actually be illegal. 😂

Japan always manages to surprise me with their weird and unconventional BL stories, and I'm completely here for it.

When actors commit to their roles...

we get something cute, sexy and amazing. When I think it's mostly the same team who did "Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami" the result is completely different. Of course there is another director, but the biggest factor are the MLs embracing their roles. Also the NC-scenes are not cringe or akward as they were with the other show. How can nearly the same team produce such different outcomes?

The story begins with Ai looking at an dating app in the packed metro and then being groped by a disgusting man. Luckily an other older man sees it and helps him out and says he should not watch such an app in a public place, but he likes cute boys and if he is interested he should contact him, leaving him a note with his line-ID. (Of course GagaOOLalas subtitles botched that, because it was definitively was not his phone number.) And so the story begins with someone unsure of what he wants besides the desire to have an internal orgasm and an older guy who had his first love on first sight.

Production quality was good, nc-scenes were good, even the kissing was good. I can only say this little series was a happy place for me. The drama was not exaggerated, the comedic bits were funny without needing silly sound-effects and the actors were really good. So this is a clear recommendation from me!

well done age gap

Overall: might be my favorite BL age gap story. 10 episodes about 13 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/8151/are-the-sexy-buttocks-not-good-2026-e01 (not available in Taiwan, Japan or Korea)

Content Warning: groping (not between the MLs), past death, grief

What I Liked
- age gap/experience gap
- intimacy*
- caring moments
- the parents in the finale
- the younger guy took the lead
- ending

Room For Improvement
- borderline victim blaming when he told him not to be on the dating app on the train
- they styled the older guy in a way that made him feel creepy at times even though he wasn't
- (neutral) one character had an overacting style that I've seen in several Japanese series
- too many flashbacks
- voiced inner thoughts
- could have cut the nephew and spent more time on the relationship
- *the younger guy frequently had an uncomfortable look on his face and there were some dead fish lip presses

The Sexy Buttocks was not that sexy...at least for me.

This was well acted. The actors made their roles come to life and believable. Other than their actual meeting and getting together, the only other part that was fairly interesting was their immediate family's responses. There was no real reason to be invested in this. It puttered along with all the quirks and eccentricies of each partner and that was it. There was no spark that said, yes they were the it couple. Meant to be. Or maybe it just wasn't for me. Personally, the age difference was believably depicted. I will give it that but I've seen other age gap series that were more enjoyable and cuter. Another thing, the poster did this series no favors. Probably, it was Ainosuke's mouse like features that irked me. Anyway, it is what it is.

I will not dissuade anyone from at least one watch.

Cute and funny.

I really enjoyed this series. I found myself smiling throughout each ep. Was i expecting a masterpiece no. and was this one, also no. but i would gladly rewatch this little series. It would be easily bingeable and one day i probably would re watch it.

The actors had great OS chemistry (imo) and i do hope to see them work in a series down the line, whether it is as a duo once again or not. I would like to see Kimisawa Yuki in a more serious role. The man has me hooked.

Either way. give it a try. I had fun watching this and in the end isn't that what counts?

The Sexy Buttocks was Flat as a Board

First of all, Okumi gave me the creeps; every time he smiled or was overly excited, it made my skin crawl. It didn't help that while the acting was alright and the chemistry was okay, the kisses and NC scenes were flat as a board. I have to give it to the actors and the ability to be able to watch at X2 speed for me being able to finish this series because there really was nothing of interest happening. They had plenty of time to add interesting stuff to the plot as well, with the sheer amount of unneeded recaps and flashbacks in each episode. The episodes are already short, and 1-3 minutes of each episode are things we've already seen.

It's far from the worst Japanese BL I've watched, but it's also far from memorable. If I remember anything from it, it's completely the titles doing.

It was indeed sexy and unexpectedly good

I had absolutely no expectations when I decided to watch this show, but it turned out to be surprisingly entertaining and kept me hooked with its unusual story. A young man who is curious about intimacy crosses paths with an older man who is very attractive physically. The casting was perfect for the characters.

The drama was playful, funny, and enjoyable to watch. Okumi really knows how to please Ainosuke, and that “itadakimasu” scenes always made me laugh. Their dynamic has such an interesting combination of sassiness and confidence, which adds even more flavor and charm to the drama.

The plots are pretty average, but the chemistry and interactions between the characters really elevated the entertainment factor. There was no unnecessary heavy drama, and both of them experienced satisfying development throughout the story. They truly had each other’s backs, both literally and metaphorically.

Overall, it’s quirky, lighthearted, funny, and works especially well because of the chemistry between the two leads. Definitely not a drama I expected to enjoy this much and I’m glad I gave it a chance.

Apparently Sexy Butt's R Good

What do you say about this BL with such a Cringe in your face or butt however you'd like to frame it Title
I shrug cause it happens to be very entertaining - it's like Soft Porn but like most BL's it doesn't cross the line into Crude -- at least not in my opinion The characters are endearing You have an CEO who is Gorgeous haven't a clue where this guys been hiding cause he is 41yrs old & I think he's Fantastic would have thought he would have tons of Leading Roles but maybe we will see more of him now-- Nothing like a good BL to jump start a career & I hope is does I have seen Sakai Sho in a few roles I really liked him in the BL Living with him some say he over acts I think there are worse things & his looks/actions kinda go to the dramatic he makes the perfect Twink
I like the dynamic because let's face it -- it is very realistic many a young person gets with a much older established mate & if it works it works This pairing works It is a good watch, so far it's entertaining & I will watch the rest of the series for sure

Cringe but Sweet and Cute

I think this drama or manga could have chosen a much better title than “Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good?”. 🤣 But I guess in a way, you know what to expect. It’s a typical manga adaptation that is both cringe and sweet. Whether you like this drama or not, depends on your previous track record of similar dramas.

The plot itself is sweet and healthy. The couple does have some cringey scenes and lines, but the general plot is a sweet romance between an older guy in his 40s and a young guy in his 20s. The drama goes into a lot of self-doubt and insecurities by both of the leads, because of their age and being at different stages of their lives. Therefore, as much as they like each other, they can’t stop questioning if the relationship is going in the right direction, or if it should continue at all. I’m also glad that the drama provides us with internal dialogs for both leads, and not just one. Also in typical Japanese fashion, the pace is very fast. Each episode has them tackle a different concern and is resolved rather quickly. This makes for a quick binge. Another thing that makes this drama enjoyable is the honest and open communication the leads have.

The acting is decent and the chemistry is pretty good. I personally don’t find either one of them attractive, even for the older guy. His thick makeup and eyeliner bother me a little, and he acts way too cringe for an experienced 40-year old. The kisses are thankfully not dead fish kisses and the intimate scenes are so much better than the other Japanese BL (looking at you “Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami”). 🤣 Though there are intimate scenes, they are not very explicit and the focus is not on sex.

If you want a quick and easy binge, this is a cute watch and a stress-reliever. It’s a lot more PG-13 than the manga itself (I didn’t read the whole thing but did go and took a quick look).

Don't judge a drama by its title

I have to say it... this title did this drama absolutely no favors. If I had judged it by the name alone, I wouldn't have even given it a chance. I genuinely thought it was going to be cringey and over-the-top, but it turned out to be such a refreshing surprise. I found myself laughing way more than I expected because the humor was genuinely funny instead of trying too hard. The comedy felt light, quirky, and self-aware, making it an incredibly easy watch. It won't be the deepest or most memorable drama I've ever seen, but it completely exceeded my expectations. Sometimes the biggest surprises are the ones you almost skip because of a terrible title.

Stupidest Title Ever!

Weird. And just a shade demented. Unfortunately, this series is the most inappropriately named series – ever. While ‘buttocks’ is certainly a theme, it is so much more than that. I do wish it would have leaned into what made it so quirky in the first place and just had gone full steam ahead; but it did not. It started to but then decided, I think, to get politically correct. It is really a ‘May-December’ BL. The series is also simply too short for any consequential character development and/or intensity of relationships and thus both feels incomplete. Therefore, it all leads to a fantasy island ending. What and how two consenting adults wish to and want to display and express their sexual preferences is totally and strictly up to them; just be adult about it and understand and unequivocally agree to the perimeters. This could have been a ground-breaking series if they carried it a bit further and made it more adult-like.

Age gap done right

I write later when the spoiler is present.

So yeah I know,I know it. Some people don't really like the dynamic of this show with the age gap. It's a big part of the show and they play into it a lot, I really liked this part of the show and I also don't mind age gaps. Know this as I review this show. SO, the 17 year age gap between Ainosuke and Hideaki was honestly one of the things that made this series stand out to men when it first started airing. I don't find the age gap between them odd or their differences in life because in my eyes it seems like Ainosuke is quite mature for his age and the way he treats Hideaki is genuinely so caring, gentle, and respectful. Similar to how Hideaki treats Ainosuke he treats him with respect, love and understanding that he was married and he is a lot older so he has a bunch of experience that Ainosuke doesn't.
IMO, their relationship never felt uncomfortable to me because there’s such a strong sense of mutual care between them. If Hideaki were creepy, manipulative, or treated Ainosuke poorly, I could completely understand why the age gap would be a concern, to some people; me included, but their relationship is pretty much the opposite of that. I don't see any sort of manipulative tactics or ant red flags in the show at all, which made it good in my eyes.

What I really loved about their dynamic was how the show managed to make the age difference feel both cute and genuinely funny without making their relationship feel unhealthy, yk old man liking young people only type of situation. They are so different yet they care so much about each other. So when you look at that its got a good sort of dynamic with this really entertaining “opposites attract” quality, its unique and done well. The age gap dynamics actually is used more of a humour aspect, It creates so many little moments of humour and makes their relationship feel different from the usual BL romances I've watched lately. (bunch of red flag shows btw, this is a breath of fresh air)



THIS IS WHAT WOULD BE A SPOILER........


One scene that especially made me laugh was when they had already been together, Ainosuke rushed off because he had a meeting for a job interview, only for Hideaki to show up as the interviewer. I actually spat out my water that I was drinking when that scene happened at the start of the show. I just loved moments like that because the show could take their unusual circumstances and turn them into something genuinely funny and adorable. Overall, I think the healthy and respectful nature of their relationship is a huge part of why I enjoyed the series so much. The age-gap dynamic could have easily been handled badly, but instead, the show uses it to create a relationship that feels surprisingly sweet, funny, and addictive to watch.
