Delusional Boyfriend Book Club

Welcome to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club! We are a romance-obsessed podcast and channel devoted to BL, manhwa, manga, anime, live action dramas, and romance novels. We overanalyze relationships, obsess over the fictional men who have ruined our IRL standards, unpack iconic tropes, and crown the top-tier boyfriends who live rent-free in our heads. This is a judgment-free space where delusion is always the solution. Join us every Thursday for main episodes and Tuesdays for bonus One Piece mini manga episodes!

We break down Adachi and Kurosawa’s dynamic, talk green flags, slow-burn yearning, and why Cherry Magic proves that quiet love stories can be just as powerful as dramatic ones.
