Opposites Attract: Finally, a BL Where the Main Characters Actually Love BL!
This is the first time I’ve had more than 10+ Japanese BLs airing at the same time in one week, even more than Thai BLs, and honestly, I’m loving it. We’ve had quite a few high school BLs, but this one feels unique and has already become something special for me.
Opposites really do attract! Suzuki is a loner with no friends, but what sets him apart from the usual introverted male lead is that he a huge BL fan. His room is filled with BL books and figurines, and he even writes BL novels himself. This is honestly so refreshing. We’ve watched countless BLs where the male leads start off as supposedly straight and eventually fall for each other, so having a character who already loves BL from the beginning feels so different and relatable. Suzuki is literally one of us!
Then we have the stunning Serizawa, who is the complete opposite. He is popular, tall, handsome, cheerful and surrounded by friends. Ryoto, who plays Serizawa, is absolutely gorgeous and his visuals are just beautiful. I cannot take my eyes of his stunning face!
His friend group also reminds me so much of one of my favourite BLs from 2025, School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To.
The setup might sound like another typical youth and high school romance, but the characters are what make this one stand out. Serizawa may be the popular guy, but he is surprisingly humble and kind. He carried Suzuki on his back without being embarrassed about it, and when he discovered that Suzuki had written a BL novel using him as inspiration, he didn’t mock or get angry with him. Instead, he actually praised the novel and revealed that he is a BL fan too!
I really love this aspect of his character. Usually, the popular male lead is written as arrogant, cocky or too cool for everyone, but Serizawa is completely different. He is warm, approachable and genuinely interested in Suzuki. Their opposites attract dynamic is adorable, and I love watching the extroverted and popular Serizawa slowly pull the introverted loner Suzuki out of his shell.
Another thing I really appreciate is how honest both characters are about liking BL. Normally, male characters try to hide that they watch or enjoy BL, but here we have two boys who are completely comfortable admitting it. As someone who loves BL, that makes this feel even more special and realistic.
The visuals are stunning, the music is beautiful, and I especially love the OST moments where the whole group sings together. There is such a warm and youthful atmosphere throughout the show that makes the friendship, classmates' relationship and school setting just as enjoyable as the romance.
I already know this is going to be one of my comfort shows for the next 2.5 months. 🥹💗
If you love opposites attract, high school romance, friendship, introverted and extroverted male leads, popular and outcast characters, this cute and adorable Japanese BL should definitely be on your watch list.
