The second season of I Became the Main Role of a BL picks up exactly where the first left off. Only now, the stage is set, not for introductions, but for deeper entanglements. We already know Yuichiro and Hajime. We’ve rooted for them, laughed with them, watched them stumble their way into something that looks a lot like love. Now, we get to see what happens when the confessions are out in the open, but the growing pains of a new relationship are just beginning.

And growing pains there are delivered, of course, with the same over-the-top drama and comedic flair that made Season 1 so memorable.

This time around, the tension leans into jealousy, miscommunication, and good old-fashioned romantic chaos. Hajime’s past shows up in the form of Haibara Ryunosuke (played by Furuya Robin), a familiar face that clearly rattles Yuichiro. At the same time, Hajime grows uneasy with how close Yuichiro is to Kuromiya Ryoga (Iwaya Shogo), his longtime friend. It’s the kind of circular jealousy that’s relatable, exasperating, and, thanks to this show’s comedic instincts, hilarious.

Yuichiro, famously dramatic, literally passes out every time Hajime tries to take things to the next level physically. And while that might sound ridiculous (it is), it also somehow works within the world this story has built. It turns their emotional missteps into something tender, funny, and deeply endearing.

What makes this series shine is what made Season 1 so special: the ability to blend exaggerated BL tropes with a genuine emotional core. Yes, the drama is over-the-top. Yes, the comedy is loud. But at its center are two men still trying to figure out how to love and how to let themselves be loved.

The performances continue to impress. Abe Aran as Yuichiro is equal parts charming and chaotic, while Akutsu Nichika plays Hajime with just the right balance of softness and stubbornness. Their chemistry is still as magnetic as ever, even when they’re driving each other (and us) up the wall.

Season 2 looks to be a more chaotic ride than the first, but it’s also poised to dive deeper into the vulnerabilities that come after a confession when the real work of being together begins. There’s tension, awkwardness, hesitation, and heart. And yes, there’s passing out.

Here’s hoping they make it to the intimacy without Yuichiro expiring on the spot. Because if Season 1 was about falling for someone, Season 2 seems to be about learning to stay.

For a romantic comedy that wears its heart on its sleeve with a lot of laughs, check out I Became the Main Role in a BL Season 2, now streaming on GagaOOLala.
