Imagine waking up one day and realizing you're a background character in a Boys' Love manga. That's exactly what happens to Mob, a perfectly average college student who suddenly becomes aware that he's trapped in a world where every handsome guy is destined to fall in love with another guy—complete with dramatic confessions, accidental falls into waiting arms, and conveniently timed rainstorms. Mob is not homophobic; he just likes girls and wants a normal, uneventful life. So he arms himself with knowledge, buying every BL manga he can find to study the tropes like a survival manual. From avoiding getting caught in the rain with a hot stranger to stepping over a passed-out drunk on the sidewalk, Mob executes elaborate strategies to sidestep becoming a main character. But this is an 'Absolute BL' world, and the more he fights fate, the more he accidentally plays matchmaker for the side couples around him. His attempts to remain invisible only make him more noticeable, especially to a mysterious, kind-hearted guy who keeps appearing in his peripheral vision. As Mob's world fills with blossoming romances and ridiculous coincidences, he starts to wonder: is he really just an extra, or has he been the lead all along? This gloriously self-aware comedy is a love letter to BL fans and a hilarious deconstruction of the genre's most beloved clichés—packed with fourth-wall breaks, a killer 70s-style theme song, and an ending that will have you begging for a second season.
