I could be alone in this, but this hardly feels like a BL. I've seen lesser shounen-ai with more romantic tension and gestures than this.
they get slightly more touchy feely and full of yearning further into the story but yeah this isn’t a quick paced smut-filled story, you just have to go along with the plot for now or just wait a bit, but it is an actual BL! It’s not just two bros with gay tension that doesn’t go anywhere lol, hate when authors do that









As bland as this story was I appreciate it for what it didn't do which was drag on the plot wrapped up in a nice 30(ish) chapters and kept it cute. sometimes you gotta enjoy the little things.
