For August’s BL Manga of the Month, Courtney is diving into Lullaby of the Dawn—a haunting, beautifully drawn fantasy romance about devotion, destiny, and the unspoken cost of survival.

Courtney unpacks the manga’s ethereal worldbuilding, themes of power and protection, and how Lullaby of the Dawn crafts intimacy in quiet, aching moments. If you're into forced closeness, tender angst, and soft boys caught in brutal systems, this one will break your heart in the best way.

When rising actor Junta lands a role alongside top star Takato, his longtime idol, things get complicated fast. What starts as a one-sided crush quickly turns into a messy entanglement full of possessive feelings, emotional tension, and blurred lines between work and romance.
Courtney and Val break down the acting world setting, black cat/golden retriever dynamic, and why Dakaichi is equal parts spicy and chaotic. If you're into coworker tension, obsessive love, and fame-fueled drama, this one’s worth the watch.

For July’s BL Manga of the Month, Courtney is diving into Engage by Yuu Minaduki—an emotional, slow-burn romance about longing, boundaries, and the kind of love that lingers even when it feels out of reach.
At 21, Mei has spent years quietly waiting for a man who only shows up once a year at his family’s restaurant. Their conversations are brief, polite, and always leave Mei wanting more. But when the truth behind this customer’s connection to his family comes to light, everything gets a lot more complicated.
Courtney unpacks the age gap, emotional weight, and why Engage walks the line between romantic and messy in a way that’s hard to look away from. If you’re into quiet yearning, forbidden feelings, and stories that leave you with more questions than answers, this one’s worth the read.

In this episode, we’re diving into June’s Manhwa of the Month: Save the Dae by Wageul! This BL manhwa follows two super-seniors in high school (both legal adults) who get off on the wrong foot—but end up living together after realizing they don’t really have anyone else. One wants something more than just physical comfort, while the other keeps his distance and acts like nothing matters. But over time, their uneasy arrangement turns into something more real—especially when the one who’s always been guarded starts showing up as a quiet protector.
With themes of found family, emotional survival, and the messiness of real connection, Save the Dae blends tension and tenderness in equal measure. Tune in for a spoiler-free intro to the characters and setup, then stick around for a spoiler-filled chat about key scenes, character growth, and this month’s delusional boyfriend!

Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club! For June's BL Anime of the Month, Courtney and Val are diving into Twilight Out of Focus—a beautifully messy BL full of emotional tension, secret crushes, and dorm room drama.
When the misunderstood pretty boy Hisashi ends up rooming with Mao—a member of the film club—they strike up a delicate balance of privacy, friendship, and unspoken feelings.

Add in two equally chaotic and lovable side couples, and you've got a full-on BL ensemble that delivers on both heart and heat.
Courtney unpacks the tangled relationships, standout scenes, and why Twilight Out of Focus is the kind of series that’ll have you screaming at the screen one minute and hugging a pillow the next.
