Short answer is no. BL stands for boy love and this clearly isn't just a simple case of a male+male romance (for reasons explored in ep 2 onwards). The majority of BL fans would never call this a BL and also if that was the case then this page would be a lot more popular.

But regarding the scenes we will see... If you've seen the trailer or even the pictures on this page you should've expected the guys would have scenes together with a romance theme. So if you are commenting because of that, you could've known beforehand.

I watched a bunch of these and yeah they have some really funny and creative ones.

Because of all the warnings about the last episode I checked it out.
It was actually so absurd that watching it out-of-context was pretty funny. While it does kinda fit with the whole ''struggling comedians'' theme I feel like the writer of the novel (who is a comedian himself) may have included it just to mess with people. I haven't read the novel though so can't confirm if it's from his original work.

Gonna try to track this down to watch it.

Alright finally this show is on MDL too! Added it since I could never find it and the only info available was on Japanese Wikipedia.

A really interesting look into the life of what I would assume to be 50s Japan in the less fortunate areas.
Depicts the life of a boy born in a poor family, happy and sad moments. I would warn that the dad has pretty violent reactions and there are many family fights so if you're sensitive to that then it's best to avoid.

That certainly does sound like a tragic story

TvTokyo privated the first episode of Cherry Magic from their Youtube channel after many months. It got into their top 10 most popular videos on the channel before being privated though.

Will watch this!

For those who hate seeing BL-novel tropes. I'd advice to avoid or keep watching to be able to rant about it I guess.
It'll be much more fun to watch for those who don't mind tropes. I don't mind it and its been pretty cute. Looking forward to the next few episodes! It has a very wholesome vibe up till now and I like that.

I don't think so. Even within the Ossan Love Japanese franchise theres a lot of stand-alone stories with the same premise. It will likely copy a lot of the Japanese version though so may be interested to watch it beforehand to spot the differences.

At this point Im at episode 4. I have adapted to the cringe, have been molded by this drama to be immune to some next level cringe. I had to pause so many times to cope with the older male lead acting childish purposely. But now I love the drama and its (very) quirky scenes! It just took a while.

Besides that, yeah theres also some wholesome scenes which were cute! Main leads have been through a lot together at this point. I'm not ready for episode 5 though. Chaos (but its fun)!

Nice movie, very early 2000s vibe of course but I like that about it.

Mostly just reminds me of a lot of Thai BLs to be honest. I'm used to soundeffects.

Alright this is a really fun BL from what I'm seeing in first two episodes! Loved it!

Wow I found out about this late. Gonna watch first ep now!

It never really does end. I've seen roughly the same storyline of Mouse 3 times now.

Yea drama tastes and rating styles change over time. Honestly don't pay attention to my ratings too much for actual quality of shows XD It can be pretty random.

I do generally know which shows to recommend pretty well though.

Wow new picture on the MDL profile! I like the new one

Interesting final episode
