A Man Who Defies the World of BL

Just an average college student, living his average life, “Mob” (Atsuhiro Inukai) had never once considered the fact that his life might be anything other than ordinary. With each day passing very much like the one before, Mob might have been stuck in his average, ordinary life forever. But a sudden epiphany causes Mob to see the world in a whole new light, flipping his ordinary world upside down in an instant.  Now fully aware of the fact that he is living inside a “world of BL”, Mob can’t seem to go anywhere without being caught up in some boys’ love story. From school classmates to his own little brother, Mob finds himself surrounded by boys whose sole purpose in life seems to be to fall in love. Determined to keep himself from becoming this world’s protagonist, Mob assigns himself the role of a background character, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to escape the love scenarios unfolding all around him. Constantly bombarded by love-struck boys, Mob does everything he can to fight back, but even as he fights, he feels his will beginning to crumble. With one special boy slowly stealing his heart, Mob begins to wonder, how much longer will he be able to fight the inevitable?  Adapted from the manga of the same name, written by Konkichi, “A Man Who Defies the World of BL” is a 2021 romantic comedy drama directed by Koichiro Miki.
