Wow, this is quite the vibe. We don't even know if this is technically an isekai, but Lizel isn't too concerned.

I'm expecting this to be one big bro-fest.

mekerpan2026-01-07 17:53

I like the characters here offhand. This did a great job of quickly making them interesting and appealing -- better than any of the other similar new shows so far.

darthvall2026-01-08 02:01

It's still technically isekai, Lizel hinted that his world has different rule (magic vs sorcery). It's just that this is not the usual Japan isekai.

Though there's other variant that I knew where it's actually hidden time travel. That's also possible here.

Shantotto112026-01-08 04:56

Yeah. It’s probably in the same plane of Isekai as Lv2 Cheat Skill.

Blurgas2026-01-08 07:12

Yea, the bare minimum of "Isekai" is simply "*Transported to another world*"
It could be "real world" person reincarnated to a fantasy world, a mage teleported into a sci-fi world, could even be a group from completely different worlds brought together to a world wholly strange to all of them

PeaceAlien2026-01-07 16:53

Idk if it is, but the first episode feels gay in the best way

Look at his hair in that shot. Just gorgeous. He's so sprung.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-07 16:57

Otherworldly Bureaucrat Takes a Vacation was pretty chill. For someone who just got isekai’d, Lizel was pretty calm and collected. No wonder this dude’s a chancellor. Got himself like the best adventurer in the town to be his bodyguard too.

Kind of a slow start but I’m keen to see where this one goes. Gil and Lizel make for an interesting pair.

BoxSweater2026-01-07 17:09

Not 100% sure if it's bromance or romance, but I liked it either way. Don't really know where it's going, but the vibe seems like it'll be a chill series of them adventuring around and exploring the world, which I'm totally in for.

Tostonn2026-01-08 05:25

They definitely want to fuck. The end where blade is leaning against the window, head turned, “what’s mine huh?” He waaaants lizel

Ajhale2026-01-07 17:12

a second BL isekai has hit the season

Atharaphelun2026-01-07 20:00

Is it actually BL or just masquerading as BL?

LacieHolly2026-01-07 20:52

[removed]

Etiennera2026-01-07 21:00

Definitely the vibe I was getting. But the characters are mostly host-types definitely made to appeal to women.

I'll give it another episode.

darthvall2026-01-08 02:03

There's also a hand holding scene in the ending (just like the other BL), though it's more ambiguous and not in a romantic handholding.

Loving the atmosphere in both though.

Shantotto112026-01-08 04:55

I doublechecked the tags on LiveChart. Boys’ Love wasn’t on the list like it was with Isekai Office Worker.

Domimidomi2026-01-08 05:48

"Bromance" (although "stronger" than usual in this case), aka "technically not BL, but it's BL without BL tag" lol

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-07 20:02

Keep ‘em coming!!!! We need more Isekai BL

Domimidomi2026-01-08 01:19

Someone downvoted you, but I upvoted your comment. We need more Isekai BL too (and BL in general XD)

gem2niki2026-01-08 07:02

Someone called it gaysekai in the office worker thread so now Im using that lol.

ErenIsNotADevil2026-01-08 17:50

I can't believe its the year of our lord 2026 and people have forgotten the term Yaoisekai

gem2niki2026-01-08 18:36

First time hearing it 😆

high-rhulain2026-01-08 04:08

It's actually not a BL, although it's really easy to see why many would think it. But both the manga and novel do not go into that territory. The author does admit that the boys are quite affectionate, though lol But it really doesn't lean into anything besides friendship.

Domimidomi2026-01-08 05:46

It's basically the classic "bromance" (aka, "a BL series with no BL tag", like The case file of Jeweler Richard, my new boss is goofy, etc), although in this case the "bromance" is stronger than usual (guess the author only fooled themselves in the end lol)

CelioHogane2026-01-10 21:16

I dunno man i don't say i own my bro.

moriki1010972026-01-08 13:58

Have you read the source material? What about the king from his original world? When he talked about the king it sounded like there's more than a boss and subordinate relationship? Lovers or brothers maybe?

high-rhulain2026-01-08 14:56

I've been reading it. The author says it's a bromance, not a BL but is very aware that it can still be read as such so if that's what you read into the king and his relationship with Lizel then go for it.

Literally every comment from others who have or are reading the source confirms the same.

It's not a BL isekai, but can easily be read as such and the author confirms the same.

moriki1010972026-01-08 13:56

I thought so too but I think it will be one of those that never blossom

AshnakAGQ2026-01-07 17:16

Is this BL? It feels like BL. Art style looks like it too.

zz20002026-01-07 21:46

The OG author claims their story may look like BL, but it's not actual BL.

Domimidomi2026-01-08 01:22

Basically a strong Bromance (but if people want to see it as BL...), or how many call it "a BL without BL tag". Anyway, both more Bromance and BL are always appreciated XD

dakkumauji2026-01-07 17:42

You get isekai'd? Well time to take a vacation and meet some hot men.

I really do like the feel of this. It gives off taking a vacation which is what Lizel is literally doing. Pretty curious to see how the story goes from here but I think hot men and amazing seiyuus will keep me entertained enough to keep watching.

marcostadeusc2026-01-07 17:46

I already heard of yuri bait, but yaoi bait is new

cyberscythe2026-01-07 19:20

it's been present all along in a lot of places, you just need to have [the BL eyes](https://i.imgur.com/O5nHdaD.png) to see it

[](#hikariactually)

TurkeyPhat2026-01-07 21:42

it's just as old and just as annoying

at least it seems the author warned us for this one

chuckneyejoe2026-01-07 23:28

agreee i wonder if they will be homophobic about it though- i like how self aware they are in the show with that adventurer making a homophobic diss, but mc was also kind of in on it on his response tbh

Meander0612026-01-08 04:41

>that adventurer making a homophobic diss,

He was jealous.

chuckneyejoe2026-01-08 04:42

yes hahaha but i guess i feel like the homoeroticism is just gonna keep being play for laughs

marcostadeusc2026-01-08 05:16

Pretty sure. But it seems like it is pure brotherhood. But there is another (true) BL if you're into it, that premiere in this season. And it's also isekai-related. I'm not that into this kind of stuff but I liked the other one. And this one seems kind of fun to watch as well

Magnafeana2026-01-07 18:14

That’s right, this received an adaptation! Yay!

Seeing the magic pouches—somehow, and I don’t know how, without ***any*** magic, I have seen people with these little backpacks have to most “I will survive Final Destination” shit inside.

Umehara sounding like daddy a la Gil? ✅

The ED is a vibe. I love the art!

A nice, establishing episode 1. Adding Gil to my 2026 Anime Daddies.

darthvall2026-01-08 02:07

ED established it for me. Such a good vibe and hopefully the whole series would be too.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-07 18:29

This was really good, I wasn't expecting myself to be this engaged with this. It's comfy but really funny, the comedy is the type I like and I'm really enjoying the characters and the dynamics that are forming.

Lizel knowing how to handle Gil and the way he had no hesitation patting Stud's head makes me more curious about who he was in his world and how he'll handle other characters that come into the story. The way he talked down to that adventurer got me excited, and then there's that memory of his, it'll be cool to see some mind games.

Stud repeating and emphasizing that nobles can't sign up to the guild was such a great scene lol. Another anime that I already can't wait for the next episode.

pandavova2026-01-07 19:35

We really are eating great this season.

And even more is coming.

cyberscythe2026-01-07 19:55

> Stud repeating and emphasizing that nobles can't sign up to the guild was such a great scene lol

i like how Stud was able to spot him across the room as a noble cosplaying as an adventurer and he's probably here to talk noble stuff with the guildmaster

Stud, Gil, and Lizel all seem like guys who have more than one brain cell, which is comforting in this economy

fractal_magnets2026-01-07 19:17

Softest spoken noble dom

pandavova2026-01-07 19:30

Fuck man, I'm way too interested in this now. Interesting concept, new to me. Really, really intrigued by this.

Unlucky-Prize2026-01-07 20:05

Schrodinger’s BL. Is it or is it not?

cyberscythe2026-01-07 20:39

not enough information to tell, Lizel could just be Canadian

LacieHolly2026-01-07 20:56

I mentioned it in another comment, but the author had to specify that it's not a BL and Lizel is simply forging "many male friendships where deep camaraderie is present". So tfw you accidentally make a BL but didn't mean for it to be BL so you have to make a disclaimer.

Unlucky-Prize2026-01-07 21:03

Might be more fun if the author didn’t clarify! Anyway it’s a solid show, and platonic bromance is still human relationship that makes characters interesting!

Domimidomi2026-01-08 01:50

Basically a "BL bait/BL show without a BL tag", like my new boss is goofy, the case files of Jeweler Richard, etc. And yeah, the author isn't fooling anyone XD

animegoil2026-01-11 02:34

Honestly that's how a lot of series were before BL became so mainstream. You just had series with male leads and lots of subtext and "deep camaraderie" and that was my favorite. I don't need them to kiss, I just need them to panic when the other is in danger and be a little protective 😂

Domimidomi2026-01-08 01:47

In short words, author said it's Bromance, but if you want to see it as BL...

I guess it'll be another "BL bait" show or "BL series without the BL tag", like My new boss is goofy, No6, etc

cyberscythe2026-01-07 20:07

one thing that might be kinda lost in translation is that [Gil's nickname "The Blade"](https://i.imgur.com/oML6Boz.png) uses the kanji for "one" and "sword"; it's probably a reference to how he's usually a solo adventurer

[](#hikariactually)

Basic_Hospital_39842026-01-08 12:10

I agree, has a 'lone sword' vibe.

SergeWazuki2026-01-08 19:07

Yeah. It's "一刀" (pronounced as "ittou"), which means "one slash" or "single slash" or "one sword" (which references to himself as a lone swordman).

evit_cani2026-01-11 02:14

The official manga translation is "single stroke" because he "only needs a single stroke to finish a guy" and I have to think the translator had a sense of humor.

cyberscythe2026-01-11 02:45

while not strictly correct in translation, that is stratospherically hilarious

FLorianGran2026-01-07 20:12

lmao I can see why the author felt they had to clarify that this wasn't BL

Loud-Competition69952026-01-08 01:27

I think the author has some unaddressed feelings about men

Domimidomi2026-01-08 01:41

The author basically said "bromance, but if you want to see it as BL...". They aren't fooling anyone XD. I guess this will be yet another "BL bait" anime (or "BL anime without the BL tag") like My new boss is goofy, etc

darthvall2026-01-08 02:05

I mean, using possessive pronoun (mine) for other people just in the first episode... Most people wouldn't think that as bromance.

I love the atmosphere so far, so will give this a try regardless.

Domimidomi2026-01-08 05:34

Tbh, I watched it with subs in my language (Italian), and it seems they toned down the...."BL/bromance tones" in my language lol. Which it's a shame because the English, spanish, Portuguese and Japanese version kept the same tones and meanings from what I've seen online.

Some examples: in the italian version, Lizel says "my attendant" instead of "what's mine". When Gil came Into Lizel's rooms while he was still reading, Lizel doesn't ask Gil if he thought that he was beautiful to him. He asks gil what he thought about the book instead.

Guess I'll just watch switch to english subs for the other episodes 😅

butler_me_judith2026-01-10 04:55

lol in the english subs they called the MC a twink.

Snote852026-01-10 20:09

Right? I just finished the episode and searched to see if I was reading the normal Japanese interactions and social expectations as something they're not but "twink" is a pretty hard to misunderstand term. (Unless they're playing an MMORPG, which is a new character you move items to from your main character as a way of power leveling or starting with them ahead of the curve. At least that's what they called them on Everquest 20 years ago.) I don't feel that's the translation you'd choose unless it was overtly intended.

I mean, the dudes have chemistry and it definitely feels like the author, at least, wants to bait the BL reader to his story. Which has to be frustrating to the crowd who gets hooked on a love story only to find out it's just a friendship is magic tale. I think they did the same thing with The Water Magician. I was shocked when the MC in that starts showing interest in a female character halfway through the season.

Look, I'm not saying we shouldn't let the author write what they want to write and what they're comfortable writing but they don't need to gay bait their audience, IMHO. That will just push away both the people who don't like gay characters AND the audience who does but hates unsatisfying conclusions. It leaves both groups upset and that's not really the best way to nurture your story.

graceisNERD2026-01-09 08:02

100%. This will be one of those \*technically\* not BL.

Meander0612026-01-08 04:06

It's BL on the down low, then. There's not a woman in any of the main characters, and only one (or two) in the OP.

oxlemf102026-01-07 20:47

Well, based on the description and categories this anime is in, I believe the characters' relationship is a bromance. I liked this first episode; the characters have a lot of personality.

Aspect-Unusual2026-01-07 20:54

I swear to god if this is another BL story.... my wife is gonna start asking questions 'cause I enjoyed it a lot lol

pentamache2026-01-07 21:46

A different approach to getting isekai'd, but it's all bait.

itsconsolefreaked2026-01-07 21:02

My fault for expecting something

Tall-Culture45352026-01-07 21:15

I watched the first episode and i immediately thought..." Nooo!not a bl isekai!" Yet when i watched it it definitely felt super BL...it might not be said it's a bl but yes it definitely comes off as a bl.i think ill skip the rest of the anime since bl is not my scene even "slight hinting".

Boris-_-Badenov2026-01-07 21:31

so much slice of life junk this season

AceSoldia2026-01-07 21:51

I dunno why I found that so funny 😂

coffeecakesupernova2026-01-08 07:37

For me it was the MC. He looks like a weak rich guy, but he has complete poise and confidence, has no fear, is a commander. There's a disconnect there that makes me laugh at how he approaches everything.

kalirion2026-01-07 22:12

This one was pretty relaxing so I'll keep watching for now.

Historical_Working422026-01-07 22:22

A not-BL starring the BL princess Soma Saito??

That's practically BL.

dfiekslafjks2026-01-07 23:58

This is the 2nd BL isekai this season.

Meander0612026-01-08 04:43

What's the other one?

Domimidomi2026-01-08 05:37

Isekai Office Worker: the other world's books depend on the bean counter. The first episode came out yesterday (January 6)

Meander0612026-01-08 05:43

Cool! That one's already on my list!

chocokitten1002026-01-08 06:08

Lol I watched that right before this. And I was like what is going on is BL the trend for this seaosn😅

majideitteru2026-01-08 00:28

Is this BL lol

SYZekrom2026-01-08 01:10

You know, a bit after they met I was like 'this almost feels like it was a romance and this noble guy was written like a girl' and then I soon realized it was BL

Based af

caresi2026-01-08 01:37

yeah, so, this show was practically made for me. fantasy + bl-adjacent/many pretty men + saitou souma voicing yet another looks-kind-but-is-actually-scary white-haired character, like, thank you, i love all of those things, i will be thoroughly enjoying this anime. very much looking forward to ep2! 🥰

Meander0612026-01-08 04:46

>saitou souma voicing yet another looks-kind-but-is-actually-scary white-haired character

Please fill me in on what else he's done like this! His gentle purr-turned-*dangerous* in the adventurers guild scene was exquisite!

caresi2026-01-08 11:54

si-vis! it's a weird premise (mixed idol group doing lives to... fight weird monsters) but it's a fun show, and currently ongoing. june, souma's character, does feel a bit different from lizel but they have enough similarities for me to immediately recognize it.

The_Parsee_Man2026-01-08 01:41

'Stud' I know this is BL but isn't that name a bit on the nose?

dont_trust_the_popo2026-01-08 03:22

I could literally feel the gay spilling out of my screen. Did the author really say its not bl? I enjoyed the first episode anyway. I don't watch BL as a general rule, but since it's "not bl" based on the author (who i picture saying this in the most flamboyant way possible) ill continue seeing how it goes.

Meander0612026-01-08 04:10

>I could literally feel the gay spilling out of my screen.

It's hilarious that I felt the same way. Who introduces themselves by throwing a gold coin at someone?

cyberscythe2026-01-08 15:39

is it gay to throw money at another man

[](#sakurathink)

ImprovementNo50322026-01-09 02:33

And somehow that was the least gay thing in the episode

Meander0612026-01-09 02:37

>And somehow that was the least gay thing in the episode

I know, right? The scene in the Adventurers Guild had everything but a princess carry!

Meander0612026-01-08 04:39

BL on the down low. There's not a woman in any of the main characters, and only one (or two) in the OP. And that's OK! The MC is lovely and gentle, and Gil The Blade is amazing character design. The scene at the Adventurers Guild where the jealous adventurer acts out was hilarious. The ED is lovely, and I'm glad to see that we're getting more of Stud the Guild Receptionist ("Stud" tee hee!) and that gorgeous red-haired appraiser from the beginning of the episode. (He's gorgeous. No two ways about it.) This looks like an easygoing walk through the woods with beautiful boys with tousled hair.

minnieboss2026-01-08 05:49

I was really hyped for this one and it was kind of a huge disappointment. Art is bad, content is boring, gay is bait. Alas.

JamesSomdet2026-01-08 06:50

I LOVE isekais where it goes from fantasy world to fantasy world because it basically doubles the mystique. There is definitely a good amount with this one. I also love the BL representation in this anime. It's a shame I'm not really into the character designs for anyone other than the guild receptionist, but maybe it'll grow. I love the concept though.

gem2niki2026-01-08 07:06

Is that even common? MC not being isekai’d from modern Japan is refreshing.

JamesSomdet2026-01-08 07:08

Yeah, I don't think it's common at all. I think the most renowned one that did that was the one that isekai'd a power ranger into a fantasy world, and that was awesome because the power ranger used his completely alien powers in that magical world. I hope we see something like that in this anime too. I think MC said there was sorcery in his world but not exactly magic. Differences like that are fun.

gem2niki2026-01-08 08:13

I watched that, but he was still Japanese lol. This one isn't even from our world. Will be interesting how much different it will be, considering the town people still recognized him as a nobleman.

gem2niki2026-01-08 07:12

Surprised we actually have some isekai that’s not about a guy meeting a bunch of cute girls for his harem. There’s so many guys in this opening?!! So it’s not BL but BL adjacent… This was not under my radar compared to Office Worker. Hoping it gets interesting.

NoHead17152026-01-08 08:05

Being isekaied from one fantasy world to another, then deciding to take it as a vacation - Lizel knows how to live the life. Expecting some interesting dynamics. That head pat was totally unexpected. Using "what's mine" to describe someone you hired? That was such a noble thing to say.

Striking_Chard24202026-01-08 09:11

I again went into this blind and I for sure thought we were getting TWO isekai BL shows this season but unfortunately this was just BL bait with strong bromance. I'll keep watching though

Few-Dimension32332026-01-08 09:24

It's not a BL but behaves like a BL.

As lizel said, "is similar yet different. Something feels wrong"

EquisPe2026-01-08 09:28

Wait, the subs just used the word “twink.” Did the Japanese really have a word in that conversation that means twink?

cyberscythe2026-01-08 16:13

i looked it up because i was curious

[the Japanese word is yasaotoko 優男](https://jisho.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&keyword=yasaotoko) which has the literal implications of being a weak/effeminate man, but i'm not sure if it has the same sort of sexual connotations as "twink" (at least in the [more colloquial sources](https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E5%84%AA%E7%94%B7) i usually check)

ErenIsNotADevil2026-01-08 17:51

Idc if its not real BL

Its Yaoisekai and you can't tell me otherwise

SergeWazuki2026-01-08 19:04

Lmao. I'm straight and I don't smell any "lust", it's definitely not a BL. Most likely bromance.

CannibalCapra2026-01-10 05:10

I'm so giddy about this, at first I was delighted bc I thought it was ANOTHER bl Isekai and thought this season was gonna feed me real well. But I'm almost more excited learning it ISNT bl. Nothing is better than a male Isekai protagonist who have good male friends, AND the women look like actual people. I can't WAIT to see what this has in store
