BL isekai, woo 💃🏾🏳️‍🌈

>sophistry

I picked up a new word today. Queer media educates 🏳️‍🌈

Maeno (Aresh) 👏🏾needs👏🏾 to be 👏🏾a Karuta 👏🏾poem 👏🏾reader

📢Look at them kiss, kiss, fall in love 📢

Hehe this is getting people used to “guiding”, bring on the guideverse please 🙏🏾

Kondou makes my IRL manager look so lazy (though to be frank, I don’t even know what she does).

>Kondou: I have no romantic interest in those younger than me 🫩

>Aresh: 😱🫠

🧨EmOtiOnAL dAmAgE🧨

It’s okay, bb, you still have a chance 💃🏾

I love when people assume an MC’s crushing on the opposite gender. Always with that assuming.

Those two men are gonna fuck around and found out 🔪

The ED sounds like it’s Sunday morning.

***

Overlay was weird. Episode title in JP getting overshadowed by the dialogue and translaying the episode tile at the *top of the screen* was a choice to do.

Waiting impatiently for a guideverse BL to be picked up for an anime adaptation. I want corporate, by the book guiding. I want stupid sexy guiding. I want hardcore and soft guiding.

Kento (Kondou) had me giggling today.

Kondou makes a valid point about managers. Not the overworking portion, but managers *should* have a wider spectrum of knowledge. It’s incredible some of the managers I had just…did nothing and knew nothing. Any questions asked was rerouted to “ask your peers” and then at department meetings, they would act like you should always go to them for help. They showed blatant favoritism. And they’d foist managerial ops onto seniors who were already overworked (and were passed for promos).

Management feels so fake sometimes 😭 A good manager can make you stick it out for god knows how long. Bad management just has me keep my head down, get mine, and keep an eye open on job opportunities.

dododomo2026-01-20 17:04

>Waiting impatiently for a guideverse BL to be picked up for an anime adaptation. I want corporate, by the book guiding. I want stupid sexy guiding. I want hardcore and soft guiding.

For now we have 4 bl anime for this year (although one of them is a light anime, and unfortunately I'm not a fan of that "animation" style) + 2 bl manhwa animated adaptations (One room ta and low tide in twilight). But We need more BL anime!

There is a LONG list of popular bl manga which sell well, are popular and don't have smut (or is extremely limited). Hanakoi Tsurane, I cannot reach you, my love mix-up, if It's you I might try falling in love, love in the palm of his hand, Kitayama-kun to Minamiya-kun, can i buy your love from a Vending Machine, it turns out my online friend is my real-life boss, Minato's laundromat, etc

Magnafeana2026-01-20 20:55

Oh I’m aware. During the episode 1 discussion, there here was a whole conversation of BL adaptions we wanted to see. I’d kill to see <Breathless Momentum> adapted.

We ***do*** need more BL adaptations point blank, absolutely. I’d personally want more BL adaptations with disability representation or darker fantasy BLs (like what we have with *Roll Over and Die* for GL the season).

But now that we’re on the episode 3 discussion, my want for guidverse was just “Look! The people are prepared for guideverse!” with Aresh helping Kondou out. And considering we already have a BL omegaverse adaptation, the people are ready for ‘verses!

Maybe not nameverse or cakeverse though 😂

When BL erotica gets adapted, I’m still happy for it. Yes, there’s lots of popular non-erotic BL out there. I enjoy them. ***But*** I’m not wanting this to turn into pitting subgenres against each other for what’s more deserving of consumption, recommendation, and adaptations. I think we get enough of that in BL subs as is 😅

I’m just happy when BL (and GL and queer stuff) gets an adaptation. That means more people can enjoy the queer media I enjoy. Whether that BL is erotic or not, has disability rep or not, is dark fantasy or cosy fantasy—it’s nice to see and I’ma show up for them every time ☺️🏳️‍🌈

i think this is one of the shows that Crunchy uses the Netflix style subtitles instead of the fancy ASS-style subtitles

[there was some controversy around that last season](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1nuxuzs/crunchyroll_has_downgraded_their_subtitles/) and it seems like Crunchy has backtracked on it for now, but when i see a smaller title like this get kinda bad typesetting, it reminds me

Magnafeana2026-01-20 21:01

It’s so irksome. I just want quality and consistency, and I will give al my money for it.

Because CR has shown they can and do go the distance with typesetting, and the subs feel so natural to the setting.

But then you go to a different series, and suddenly, you can’t even tell who’s ***speaking*** and even the episode title isn’t translated 🤧

PeaceAlien2026-01-20 16:07

Aresh is getting jealous over Seiichirou. Wonder if Aresh understands his feelings are romantic. No idea how Seiichirou feels, he only seems to care about work

dododomo2026-01-20 16:34

From what I understand, it seems that shiraishi (the saint) kind of wants Aresh, Aresh wants seiichirou, and seiichiro wants the tonic (for now at least) XD

I guess Aresh may have started to realize that his feelings are romantic, otherwise he wouldn't be that shocked to hear Sei say that he doesn’t see younger people as a romantic partner

fraid_so2026-01-20 18:03

Lmfao he wants the T, not the D 🤣

cyberscythe2026-01-20 18:39

the D allows him to get more T though

testthrowawayzz2026-01-20 23:23

Seiichirou: "Still would."

cyberscythe2026-01-21 07:23

dododomo2026-01-20 18:55

I thought Sei was smart enough to realize that more D = all the T he wants 😂

dododomo2026-01-20 23:40

Can't be a real romance series without the classic love triangle!

MandisaW2026-01-21 07:09

The triangle is Aresh, Seiichirou, and Sei's job. Aresh is trying to avoid being a "work widow" before the relationship's even solidified 😅

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-20 18:14

From aresh's collegue assuming aresh is talking about a girl and not the isekaid worker he spends most of his free time with, im going to assume homosexual relationships arent the norm where they live ( it also could not be legal given this is fanatsy just past mideval europe, which would add intrigue to the political stuff). That could complicate areshs understanding of his feelings. Though by the end of the episode i think hes got it figured out

DocMcCoy2026-01-20 20:30

>fanatsy just past mideval europe

Hmm, is it? I don't think so. The stylistic choices are akin to the Roman Empire of the classical period, which is decidedly before medieval Europe

And sexuality in that region and period was very different. Sexual relations between men were common, and not forbidden. And also not stigmatized... at least not as we today understand it. The sticking point was about who's active and who's passive, who's giving and who's receiving. Receiving was seen as a feminine role, as the lesser

As for relationships and love between men... that's even more murky and debatable. It's just that the mindset was quite different to ours, so mapping these directly doesn't really work.

I'm not sure where this fictional setting is going there, though

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-20 20:37

Most isekai have a semi medival europe setting. I see no trace of roman empirical structure refelceted, but there also is a more structered ruler in place which doesnt feel very medival

binaryfireball2026-01-20 16:17

you're gonna eat god damn it.

not knowing about the source material made it pretty fun

Shmappii2026-01-20 16:37

I like this idea that both Aresh and Seiichiro struggle to form competent teams of subordinates while being on opposite ends of the work-life balance spectrum. The current dynamic is a fun mix of personal growth and managerial politics that somehow also has non-romantic kissing thrown in here and there.

I guess the title of the show is pretty clear about the premise being a hodge-podge, but I'm surprised it's coming together exactly as advertised. A lot of these "Isekai with a Hook" premises end up not following through with their hooks in a meaningful fashion.

cyberscythe2026-01-20 18:54

> A lot of these "Isekai with a Hook" premises end up not following through with their hooks in a meaningful fashion.

yeah, one of the things i judge shows by is how much they stick to what makes them special instead of just kinda rolling into generic wish fulfillment or whatever

as annoying as he is sometimes, i like how Sei is still like "it doesn't matter how many times i have to kiss this guy, i'm going to fix these books"

Shmappii2026-01-20 20:08

Seiichiro's attitude toward kissing and sex is bizarrely refreshing. Like, I'm happy that a Japanese protagonist isn't losing their mind over every tiny action, but nearly ODing in an alleyway only to be cured through gentle singing magic that gets followed by sexual intercourse is maybe worth a response beyond "I have troubled someone."

The physical intimacy in this show is hilariously shoehorned in, though. It's like writing medical drama where doctors cure cancer through blowjobs and the protagonist has super cancer that keeps coming back. The logic of the setting makes sense internally, but I can't help seeing the writer warping reality to push dolls together.

cyberscythe2026-01-20 21:23

Sei does feel oddly single-minded, like he's been teleported to a magic fantasy world and gets to third base with the third guard captain, but he's mostly concerned with how this'll affect his KPIs this quarter or something

like, the story hasn't really been exploring his sexual identity or him reveling in his newfound freedom, instead it's been about how sad it is to be a corporate drone and how difficult it is to deprogram it from his brain once it's been drilled in

that said, it's only been two episodes and maybe this is still setting the table for the actual story, but i think a typical story would've set its overall direction and theme by now

[](#harukathonk)

Shmappii2026-01-20 22:11

I think the inclusion of a high school student is doing a great job of showing two contrasting isekai perspectives. Shiraishi is quick to adjust and has embraced this situation as if she's the female lead in a romantic fantasy while the ancient 30-year-old seeks familiarity and routine with a change-resistant mindset.

Similarly to the Aresh/Sei managerial differences dynamic, both Shiraishi and Sei display advantages and disadvantages. Shiraishi may be naive, but her social reputation is strong and she's clearly learning to wield magic with a dedicated effort. I'm also curious about how Kamil will get fleshed out.

You're correct that foundations are still being laid and it's tough to see endgame beyond tackling miasma or men kissing, but there's good stuff going on here that gives me confidence.

cyberscythe2026-01-20 22:29

> it's tough to see endgame beyond tackling miasma or men kissing

https://i.imgur.com/1zyr5eC.png

BosuW2026-01-20 22:09

I feel like how formal the physical intimacy is presented so far and the tonal dissonance from that is intentional. Aresh seems aware that he is catching feelings, but Sei is too workpilled to even consider romance. He is almost literally married to his job and it's super unhealthy. He can't even enjoy intimacy without him justifying that it's for the sake of making him a better worker.

OldInstruction53682026-01-20 22:36

I'm not so comfortable labeling Seiichiro's attitudes towards sex "refreshing."

He's a workaholic. As in, he's a dysfunctional addict that would literally kill himself just to get a report in on time.

Then when saved, he goes right back into the meat grinder because clearly the problem was that he took one too many stimulants, and not that he was working so much he needed stimulants in the first place.

It's not that he's addicted to tonics, but that he's addicted to work. And yes, I use addiction with the strongest negative connotations considering his work/life balance was so brutally dysfunctional he nearly died and needs constant supervision or he'll just drive himself right back into the gutter.

My greater point? Seiichiro is so blasé over sex largely because he can't focus on anything else but work. Nothing but work is a priority to him. Nothing but work is worth thinking about. He can't process anything other than work work work work work.

That's why he was seriously considering the 'Overdose and emergency treatment' combo as a routine to do *every* night. As in, get strung out on stimulants until you nearly die, get healed, then pounded up the butt, each night, every night. Merely as a way of 'increasing my productivity.'

Because that's all he cares about. So his 'healthy views on sex' are really a direct consequence of his disturbingly unhealthy work/life balance.

Shmappii2026-01-20 22:42

You're absolutely correct! I only meant refreshing in the surface level sense that he can engage in sexual activity or think about it without sputtering like Speed Buggy.

sunnydayz572026-01-21 01:39

He also mentioned in this ep that he's had romantic relationships in the past, which may be another reason why he's comfortable with the sexual activity. He still seems to realize on some level that the arrangement he has with Aresh is a bit unusual though

HornedTurtle12122026-01-21 06:36

Doesn't he also mention missing his donut pillow after their first encounter? So it seems like he had tools for soreness afterwards too.

MandisaW2026-01-21 07:41

Easily explained by hemorrhoids, he's def the type to sit working for 16hrs straight

dododomo2026-01-20 16:58

Ngl, Jealous aresh is kind of cute.

I have a feeling that the saint may see him in a romantic way. In that case, I wonder how she will react when she'll find out that Aresh likes seiichirou (guess it's obvious he just realized his feelings for seii are romantic, or sei saying he doesn’t see younger people as a romantic partner wouldn't have been that shocking to Aresh XD)

I wonder who ordered those two to beat seii at the end of the episode. Maybe the Saint's attendees?

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-20 18:17

I think it's Aresh's subordinates, they probably used the money for budgets for personal reasons and Seiichirou is stopping that from happening.

dialovesu2026-01-20 18:51

I agree! I think the knights are greedy and attacked him! Next episode is i punished them so im looking forwars to that!

dododomo2026-01-20 19:13

Yeah, that's the likely scenario. I thought they were hired by the attendees because they thought sei was attracted to their saint (wait until they find out what is happening between sei and aresh lol)

cyberscythe2026-01-20 21:08

that's what i thought too; they made it a point to have that angry saintess' attendant at the lunch, so i figured that would evolve into something

thinking about it now, there are a bunch of people in line to bonk Sei on the head: the knights he keeps rejecting budget requests for, his coworkers who may feel are harshing their buzz, the prime minister who still seems shady, the saintess who may sense that Aresh is getting in on her turf, etc.

OldInstruction53682026-01-20 22:19

My read on the PM is that he won't crack Sei's kneecaps, but he'll put out Sei as a target and let other people vent their frustrations on him.

A scapegoat, if you will.

Otherwise, the PM seems to view Sei as a useful pawn. I assumed Sei was a *disposable* pawn, hence why everyone is scared of the PM and Aresh 'warned' Sei about the PM's interest...

But the PM may legitimately want to keep Sei around.

dialovesu2026-01-20 18:50

Ikr? I am loving his reactionsn oh god this is oke show i would have loved to binge! Hahaha

cyberscythe2026-01-20 19:06

> I have a feeling that the saint may see him in a romantic way.

i'm hoping it doesn't evolve into some sort of love triangle sort of thing; i'm not a fan of that kind of drama

like, one of the things about [The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent] >!(similar sort of set up with one accidental extra summon) that i liked is that the holy maiden doesn't turn into a villainess/antagonist sort of character!<

thelightlovekindled2026-01-20 19:16

>i'm hoping it doesn't evolve into some sort of love triangle sort of thing; i'm not a fan of that kind of drama

I feel like Yua's arc is playing off a typical shoujo isekai, so her being surrounded by cute/beautiful men that she assumes are romantic interests is par for the course... she's just in the wrong genre. but I get the feeling that Sei is going to be right about the sketchy undercurrent of the summoning situation, so that may drop in her priority list.

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-21 00:29

Id feel bad for yua if it turns out to be sketchy because she actually seems like a really sweet girl

Also puppy boy (sei's collegue) seems to be the perfect love intrest as he is in suitable age range. Im kinda rooting for them after the convo they had

OldInstruction53682026-01-20 22:15

There has been a running subplot of the Third Order constantly making unreasonable requests, being dismissive of the accounting department to the point of calling them a 'funnel,' and they are always sending people to yell at Seiichiro for denying their requests.

Hell, earlier this episode, Sei didn't even look at a request from the Third Order before saying "denied." He just knows they don't take the budget seriously and/or used to embezzling funds with no consequence.

And who is the captain of the Third Order? Why, our resident ~~male prostitute~~ love interest, Aresh. When he admitted to ignoring paperwork, Sei commented on how much sense that made. No one at the top is enforcing discipline or even aware of what's going on, so those beneath him got away with abusing this negligence.

Now both Seiichiro and Aresh are paying close attention to the paper work, and the people in teh Third that were used to abusing funds for personal reasons (embezzlement) are going to crack Seiichiro's kneecaps as he's the 'source' of this problem.

Best case scenario, they weren't *embezzling* funds so much as being very sloppy with their spending. However, I feel if these were legitimate purchases Seiichiro wouldn't be so angry and dismissive. He'd be talking about fiscal discipline and efficiency instead of writing an huge report showing how every department has systemically drained the emergency defense fund, right in time for the emergency, all while shitheads keep yelling at him for not being a rubber stamp.

HornedTurtle12122026-01-21 06:28

It feels like someone is cooking the books in the Third Order.

Odelind2026-01-20 17:07

I'm not the target, but the political plot is so interesting that I wan't to see how it goes.

Isofruit2026-01-20 17:22

I keep finding it hilarious how the BL aspect is shoehorned in, it's kinda cute and funny at the same time. Frenching your sexy superior against a headache most certainly wasn't a cure I had foreseen at least xD

Bro’s got a real tonic addiction. Well, I guess as long as he gets regular injections of vitamin “D”, he’ll be fine lol. I guess Indolark’s catching feelings huh? He’s gonna be on the warpath now that his precious Sei’s been attacked.

dakkumauji2026-01-20 17:53

Aresh's utter devastation that Seiichirou doesn't go for younger people was hilarious. He got it down bad.

mekerpan2026-01-20 18:24

Of course, Sei was mainly using that "no younger persons" as a convenient excuse....

cyberscythe2026-01-20 18:49

i found it extra funny because i didn't think that Aresh was that much younger than Sei because of what i thought was paternal-like instincts in protecting Sei; turns out he's just the jealous type

dododomo2026-01-20 19:11

Same here. I actually expected Sei and Aresh to be 25 and 30 years old at most respectively

Monk-Ey2026-01-20 19:49

Man's utterly *devastated* to the point of asking colleagues for love advice and doing paperwork: he's *dooooown* down bad.

Seiichirou doesn't want to be a younger gay top's daddy.

MandisaW2026-01-21 07:07

Clearly he hasn't read the room (or the tags of his own series) 😂

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-21 00:24

What makes it even funnier is that aresh is most likely misreading what sei said. I think sei is just denying he is intersted in minors, while aresh thinks that he just missed his shot.

Aresh is 22 and sei is 29. 7 year age gap isnt to bad given aresh seems more mature

darthvall2026-01-21 02:47

I completely laughed when they revealed the 8 years difference.

You know who's older than Seichiro and already calls him without honorifics? The prime minister lol.

BaytaCosmico2026-01-21 04:31

Nooo! Not the prime minister. I don't trust him.

MarshmallowPotion2026-01-21 09:20

So is all the healing making out or is making out and hooking up the strongest healing? Lmao!

cyberscythe2026-01-20 19:13

is *this* the correct way to use healing magic?

Just a question - where are all the other females in this world? How do they reproduce if all the dudes like other dudes....oh i get why they needed to summon a saint....

cyberscythe2026-01-20 19:01

> where are all the other females in this world?

i assume this follows opposite logic to Kirara series where the other gender is assumed but not shown

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-20 18:16

I thought Aresh was older! My surprise to find out he's in his very early 20s. I like how upset he was after Seiichirou's comment about not being romantically interested in people younger than him. Aresh will have to do his best but he's got a head start since they've gotten physical already and continue to kiss whenever needed.

Orjef was hilarious with how excited he was about Aresh's interest in work and romance.

I'm guessing the two Aresh questioned Orjef about are the two that kidnap Seiichirou at the end. I'm guessing they were using the money from the budgets for personal reasons and Seiichirou has prevented them. I'm looking forward to seeing how Aresh handles this when he gets news.

I hope Yua's attendant isn't going to be a problem, the two hardly interact and she chooses to sit with them but somehow to the attendant, Seiichirou is the problem. So stupid.

AceSoldia2026-01-20 19:10

I'm actually mad that I get more kissing and affection in this than any other show..can I get a Yuri show like this too?!

Calwings2026-01-20 22:08

Sakura Trick hoarded all of the yuri kisses and created a shortage for all the other yuri anime

AceSoldia2026-01-20 22:36

Time to watch Sakura trick 😂

Mad_Aeric2026-01-21 02:07

Did you not watch Watanare? For as much as the main girl claims not to be into girls, she sure spends a lot of time kissing them.

eggplant_avenger2026-01-20 19:29

you know, I kind of appreciate that the Saintess acts like an actual teenage rando.

Aresh’s subordinate getting that excited to give love advice lmao

SpaceMethJunkie2026-01-20 20:25

I wonder if she’ll become a fujoshi once she finds out... then again, she is kind of a normie

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-21 00:36

Dont underestimate the dormant fujoing jn a girls heart

SpaceMethJunkie2026-01-20 19:41

With the amount of times I had to crawl at something due to the shock of BL scenes, I fear my furniture wont last to episode 8… Mind you I read the manga, but seeing it all animated still gags me

LoveHunter-042026-01-20 20:05

Awww, poor Aresh, he was indirectly rejected by the person he's in a situationship with and has fallen hard for already.

And Sei most likely still oblivious that any of the above things happened 😂😂

Also, the way they kiss each other so casually now 🤭🤭

DocMcCoy2026-01-20 20:13

Oh, we've got a kabedon!

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-20 21:05

Last episode they had some Bochu Jutsu

This episode, he needed more Tao…. That kabedon and kiss😍

cleaulem2026-01-20 21:05

It was nice to see Seiichiro getting along with Shiraishi after their first meeting didn't end so pleasant. But still she calls him out as a corporate slave without hesitation.

Which brings me to my biggest qualm about Seiichiro: I hope that he will at some point drop that working himself to death attitude. Tbh I find it pretty irritating. It would be nice if he developed a little healthier point of view.

gnome-cop2026-01-20 21:24

I like how they’re basically going on dates because he cannot be trusted to keep himself alive.

You may have permission from your boss to take work home but not from your boyfriend.

Damnit, you better not be lying about those tonics. Oh for fucks sake.

I get why Aresh is concerned when every time he leaves, some life threatening incident seems to occur. At what point is it acceptable to put him on a leash to keep him within a range where he can be protected?

Please, don’t let the holy maiden’s unrequited crush screw up something important.

The dark aura when Aresh heard that he doesn’t date people younger than him is absolutely hilarious.

Once Seiichirou actually awakens the ability to feel romantic attraction from the void of work, the examinations and the “do you feel hot” questions are going to become a lot more awkward.

I like how he’s so ridiculously overprotective that he suggests maintaining a barrier on him for his safety at all times.

Character development, Aresh is actually doing work thanks to his crush.

Did this man just get kidnapped? This is about to do horrible things to Aresh’s overprotective tendencies.

thelightlovekindled2026-01-21 00:21

>I like how he’s so ridiculously overprotective that he suggests maintaining a barrier on him for his safety at all times.

This bit was so interesting to me! Because it's obvious that Aresh thought about it and discarded the idea, but not exactly why. Is he uncomfortable upping the intimacy past kissing again? (Because he's not into it or because he's *too* into it?) Does he think bringing it up would put pressure on Sei? Does he recognize that it's an overreaction and he can't justify it to himself the same way he can justify constantly mother-henning Sei and his terrible work/life balance?

He seems to take it as a done deal that Sei wouldn't agree, anyway, by the time he mentions it -- and Sei's easy acceptance of that logic didn't exactly prove him wrong haha.

BosuW2026-01-20 21:46

The culture shock aspects of this are actually really interesting. I like that they are being a persistent source of conflict instead of being an easy fix. Aresh is really digging deep into Sei's corporate work mentality, however curiously he is also learning something from his dependable nature and his "do more than the minimum" attitude, which is crucial in politics and national finance where negligence can cost many many lives. It's also interesting that Yua considers the sight of a corpo drone normal, while Aresh and Sei's coworkers are surprised and appalled. I wonder if this is intentional cultural commentary on the author's part about how Japan has normalized what perhaps should not be considered normal?

MandisaW2026-01-21 08:08

All Art is Political 💜 Simply choosing to make the MC a workaholic and providing an unflinching look at that behavior I think tells us the manga-ka's POV on it.

But you're right that there is clearly a nuanced discussion unfolding among all the lunch & dinner dates.

tasoula2026-01-21 08:21

I definitely think it is intentional on the author's part. I believe that this series is trying to deconstruct the Japanese work mindset while also pointing out the exact opposite of doing the bare minimum (Aresh) isn't great either. That there is a healthy balance.

CloverClubx2026-01-20 22:09

The massive downvotes what the fuck is wrong with you jobless people?

why do these threads get so many downvotes?

powerhcm82026-01-21 01:17

Some people don't like BL, so isn't of spending their time enjoying something they like, they waste their time on hating.

darthvall2026-01-21 02:50

Geezz, just don't watch it. But going so far to downvote something they didn't watch is completely unnecessary.

I thought there's some issue with the episode due to the like x comment ratio, but this episode is decent.

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-21 01:33

Bl show means thw homophobic incels and their 70 alternative accounts get triggered, thus not letting actual fans or people ibtrested watch economy politics and men kissing in peace

Homophobia, unfortunately :(

testthrowawayzz2026-01-20 23:15

Seiichirou saying he's not intentionally treating Aresh like a male prostitute? Sure, hon, actions speak louder than words hahaha

RIP this relationship since Seiichirou said younger people are not his type.

Vice commander interested in romance talk was hilarious.

chlo_kage2026-01-21 00:11

Manager huh lol

Nice kabedon

OMG A KISS

Bros never gonna learn he’s gotta stop skipping meals lol

I feel like lowkey the kissing isn’t actually required haha

lol I’m w areah she’s insufferable haha dealing w someone half your age lol

Awwww poor guy. He’s so baby
Damn possessive!

Whoever’s tryna f*cl w him is gonna die lol

PracticalMarsupial2026-01-21 00:15

Seiichiro tells Aresh that as a manager, he should know what the people below him are doing and as someone who has had bosses come from completely different industries, I so agree with Seiichiro. It's so much nicer to have a boss that generally understands the work you do.

Also, Aresh had me cracking up in this episode.

powerhcm82026-01-21 01:19

The prime minister will definitely make a move on Seiichirou at some point, which will ultimately bring Aresh and Sei closer.

gianben1232026-01-21 01:38

Why is this ep thread getting downvoted to oblivion, the previous EPs weren't like this, not even ep 2 where fucking happened

thelightlovekindled2026-01-21 02:07

Right? the comments on 2 were a dumpster fire in comparison as well. These are much nicer, and yet.

tasoula2026-01-21 08:21

Well, because now people know it's a BL. So the homophobes have come out.

Cyd_arts2026-01-21 02:16

Man the downvoters of this show are extreme... the karma count doesnt reflect the quality of the show at all

darthvall2026-01-21 02:47

8 like and 100 comments? Wth happened??

I thought this was a decent episode and people who doesn't like BL should have left

swiftnissity922026-01-21 02:50

Homophobes are probably actively downvoting it just because they can.

tasoula2026-01-21 08:17

Homophobia is rampant unfortunately :(

Miyachan8012026-01-21 03:04

Isn’t it just the best that Aresh understands Seiichiro’s tastes even though Seiichiro himself hasn’t even realized them yet?!

MuffinMan123472026-01-21 03:40

I'm a straight 30yo guy who will watch every isekai regardless. This is my very first BL show I've watched and I'd probably say I've watched at least 500+ animes. I'm really enjoying the show overall, hate how much hate it's getting because people are homophobic but I'm sure if it was 2 girls they would have no issues.

MandisaW2026-01-21 07:37

Welcome! This is a fairly easygoing BL, not too reliant on tropes, and as you've seen there's a good plot ☺️

MuffinMan123472026-01-21 08:23

I was drawn in my isekai accounting, now staying for that and the BL 😅

MandisaW2026-01-21 08:32

When the Accounting office features more heavily than any other location - in a fantasy setting! - you know you're in for a nerdy good time 😂

creatyvechaos2026-01-22 20:11

The only thing I'm hating on is the MC being so stupid over the other guys blatant feelings — ya'll fucked, for christs sake! He's holding your hand and finding every opportunity to kiss you!

...And then I look at myself and realize that I am him. I have been in that position. Minus the obvious fantasy part. So egg on my face!

gem2niki2026-01-21 03:57

Wow Areesh is so much younger than expected!! Sei mentioned he’s been in relationship before. He wasn’t particularly shy having sex or kissing another man and just accepted it. So he wasn’t a workaholic virgin? Very interesting to watch an isekai anime discussing about work life balance and workload between managers and workers. Dealing with overworking myself so it’s reminding how detrimental it is to my health.

United-Property-88132026-01-21 04:01

Cute episode. Love seeing the wellness check unintentionally being a dating montage lol.

Seichiro shutting down the attendant with a quick retort was satisfyingly funny. Seems like Sei isn't that much of a pushover which gives me hope his character development will actually be meaningful and enjoyable to watch.

Aresh being 22yo was actually surprising ngl. I'd guessed he was mid 30s.

I prefer to binge watch but this show makes waiting difficult lol.

BaytaCosmico2026-01-21 04:28

Aresh is such an adorable tsundere. And so possessive omg. The way he jumped in and staked his claim when the Holy Madien tried to use healing magic on Sei!

Did not expect him to be 8 years younger than Sei though. Poor Aresh really took that 'I don't go for younger people' comment to heart. I'm sure you're an exception, sir!

And it seems like Aresh will start looking into his order's finances more. If only to match his values with Sei's.

This episode was very cute until that end. I hope Sei is okay! Come save him quick, Aresh!

Friki_tailor2026-01-21 05:30

Can’t wait to see the saintess going full fujoshi once she learns about them

INeedAUser3212026-01-21 09:13

I'm lowkey so excited for the next episode because if Seiichirou gets kidnapped/hurt in anyway Aresh is gonna go balls to the walls crazy.

ALSO them having sex SO early on was such a surprise.

randomisawesome2026-01-21 12:58

Aresh caught a case of downbadism.

Now to suffer the slow burn.
