This week on Delusional Boyfriend Book Club, we're breaking down Buddy Daddies and asking the question every fujoshi eventually asks: how is this NOT BL?

We're talking hitmen turned dads, black cat x golden retriever chemistry, found family, and why Kazuki and Rei have one of anime's least convincing "just roommates" relationships. They raise a daughter together, act like an old married couple, and somehow this still isn't official...

This week on Delusional Boyfriend Book Club, we obsess over Merman in My Bathtub and ask an important question: is this anime a gateway to BL... or is it already BL?

Join me in yapping about mermen, roommates, suspiciously romantic moments, and why this series has been fueling fujoshi debates for years. Is it queerbait, genuine BL, or something in between?
