Once a normal college student, living his normal college life, “Mob” (Atsuhiro Inukai) had his world turned upside down the day he suddenly realized he was not only living in a manga-esque “world of BL” but was also the world’s main character. Unable to escape the constant stream of love stories unfolding around him, Mob eventually realized that he had no choice but to accept his fate.&nbsp;

Having fully embraced his life in this “world of BL” Mob even went so far as to admit his feelings for his classmate, Kikuchi (Asahi Ito). Believing that was the end of his story, Mob was happy to settle into his newfound “happily ever after” but in reality, that “end” was really only the beginning. With the sudden appearance of the handsome Igarashi (Kenta Izuka), Mob finds himself dealing with a whole new set of problems. With Igarashi vying for Kikuchi’s affection, Mob finds himself forced to prove that he’s not only the best man for Kikuchi but still the best man to play this world’s main character.

Adapted from the manga series of the same name by Konkichi, “A Man Who Defies the World of BL 2” is a 2022 Japanese romantic comedy drama directed by Koichiro Miki.
