Being an avid BL fan and being happy imagining favorite manga characters as a BL couple is funny as well as makes you happy, which every BL fan can relate to. Besides, when she meets two boys Takano and Shibamoto, her imaginary world starts becoming real. This is a bonus pleasure for her. Even the viewers can feel the happiness too. This drama is eye candy for BL fans.
Star Power:
Matsumoto as Akane is good, but Okayama as Takeno and Kamio as Shibamoto could have done a better job.
The Disappointing Factor:
The plot is light and fluffy but sometimes too draggy. The number of episodes could have been lesser, according to the plot. The acting could have been better. The direction could have been improved and more organized.
In-Depth Analysis:
The drama is a comedy-drama on the basis of the BL plot. In many countries, same-sex couples are still illegal, and being same-sex couples is considered a punishable act, which is not a progressive thought. But the popularity of same-sex couples is progressing at an increasing rate. The BL mangas and dramas are sometimes more famous than heterosexual coupled dramas. Hence it is pretty normal for a fujoshi (BL fangirl) to imagine her favorite characters in the plot of BL though Grappler Baki is not at all a BL manga. The plot is realistic in the modern era. It also gives a message towards same-sex couples in a funny and light way. This is definitely a bold move.
Overall Opinion:
Overall the drama is enjoyable. It is suitable for a one-time watch. If viewers want some very light drama to relieve their stress and just to enjoy a fun time, then it is recommended. This is a good watch.
