In this volume, the tropes of paranormal, sports festival, cats, and punk characters are explored.
Our main character is kinda interested in Ayato’s budding romance, but other than that, I think my issue isn’t that he’s a straight guy dodging BL tropes; it’s that, in general, he’s detached from everything going on around him. I get this overall “blah” feeling. If he doesn’t care, why should I? 2 out of 5.

Our main character still side steps typical boys love tropes.
This reads like a sampler volume of a bunch of different romance comics that you’d get as promotional material. Then you decide which series you wanna read to learn more. A concept like this could really be something silly and fun, hopefully while not being exploitative, but for now, this is just dull. 2 out of 5.

Our straight protagonist realizes he’s living in a boys’ love manga.
This is basically running through common BL tropes while the main character bobs and weaves to avoid them. I have to wonder, where is this going? Is he gonna have a bi awakening, is he gonna try to escape this world, is he gonna play matchmaker for everyone around him until the end of time, is this gonna be like a sitcom where a new couple gets together around him? It’s kinda silly and doesn’t take itself seriously, which is fun but feels aimless right now. 3 out of 5.
