Here is the synopsis from cmoa.jp, since it's based on/adapted from a manga (it's google translate):
"Makoto Okita is 48 years old. He is hardened by common sense and prejudice, and cannot understand "young people these days." A woman who won't pour tea for his boss, a subordinate who loves men's bras, and a son who loves cute things... One day, he meets Daichi, a young gay man. He rejects him when he first discovers his sexuality, but gradually he realizes his charm and they become friends. And he realized, ``It's nonsense for other people to interfere with a person's hobbies and orientation.'' That's right, it doesn't matter what pants an old man wears! ──Can an old man who vows to grow as a person be able to successfully update his “common sense”? Volume 1 of the sitcom that is attracting attention everywhere!!"
I think people aren't recognizing the "campy" nature of the show, which (to no surprise cuz the director is gay)…
I love that you use "campy" as the key word in your comment. Few months ago, I read an article about the importance of campiness in the creation of my favorite gay comic character (Devlin Waugh).
Loving that these two are so different in appearance, age, skin tone, hair color, facial characteristics, height,…
"Bringing in a seasoned actor in Uesugi Shuhei was a brilliant casting choice. He is far from being your standard BL pretty boy, which is refreshing. " -- I absolutely agree bestie!!!
Count me in!

Now, count me in. Hopefully, it will be BL, not brotherly love, bromance, or whatever. (Yeah, I'm a naive idiot.)
