Kabe-Koji-Nekoyashiki-kun Desires to Be Recognized

Mamoru Nekoyashiki is a struggling doujinshi artist who pours his heart into drawing original BL manga, craving nothing more than validation and a spot on the coveted 'Wall' – the display section for the most popular circles at comic conventions. Gloomy, socially anxious, and painfully aware of his own shortcomings, Mamoru finds his world turned upside down when he crosses paths again with Issei Kazama, a beaming J-pop idol who was his childhood friend. Issei, burdened by the pressure of maintaining a perfect public smile, sees something in Mamoru's raw, unpolished passion that reignites his own forgotten dreams. As these two polar opposites navigate their careers and buried feelings, they must confront the vulnerabilities they've hidden behind manga panels and stage lights. Blending zany comedy with genuine emotional weight, this series is a heartfelt ode to chasing artistic recognition, embracing your true self, and finding love in the most unexpected reunion.
