In my opinion, this was one of the best BL series of 2022. This series is unusual, and it can be zany, and has a typical Japanese comedic feel with narration and the mango superimposed at times. Some people are upset that the MCs do not kiss, but Japanese culture is more reserved. I was more enraptured by the amount of different types of gay men in the series. There is Mamoru, the nerdy doujinshi artist, Issei (Issay), the J-Pop idol, and Framboise, the guy who runs the doujinshi event, who is more of a bear, and at times presents flamboyantly. Although Issei is an idol, we do not see him shirtless, and his bleached hair is almost jarring.

I know some viewers thought that the MCs not kissing was "unrealistic," the mangaka is an openly gay man, who also draws sexually mature stories, and he chose to present Mamoru and Issei's story in this manner. This quirky slice of life series is based on a manga that has 5 volumes published and is still in serialization. Hopefully there will be further live action series based on this manga.
