He Wanted a Girlfriend, But His Fake Boyfriend Had Other Plans!

Another Japanese school BL, but this one comes with a surprisingly unique and hilarious plot!

When Ren's sister gives him the advice, "High quality guy + High quality guy = attractive girls," what could possibly go wrong? LOL. The funniest part is that Ren actually takes her advice seriously!

Desperate to attract more girls, Ren sets his sights on Issei, an incredibly attractive guy who seems like the perfect partner for his unusual plan. Together, they start pretending to be a BL couple, openly showing affection towards each other in front of the girls, hoping to grab their attention. And surprisingly, their plan actually works, just not quite the way Ren expected!

Here comes the interesting twist. While Ren is only pretending to be romantically involved with Issei to attract girls, little does he know that Issei already has genuine romantic feelings for him. What Ren sees as a clever strategy to improve his love life might actually lead him into a real romance with the very guy he's pretending to date!

I absolutely love this concept! It's funny, refreshing and such an entertaining take on the fake relationship trope. Watching Ren confidently carry out his ridiculous plan while being completely oblivious to Issei's true feelings makes everything even more amusing.

So far, I'm really enjoying this series, and I cannot wait to see how their fake relationship slowly develops into something real. Will Ren eventually realise that the person he's been searching for might have been standing right beside him all along?

Japanese BLs always seem to find creative ways to tell romantic stories, and It's Just Business is another great example. The plot feels fresh, the comedy works, and the potential for a sweet romance is definitely there.

A fun and promising start, and I'm already looking forward to the next episode!
