Kiss Him, Not Me!

In this romantic comedy from Kodansha USA, a high school girl who has been obsessed with BL (Boys' Love) finds her world turned upside down when she loses weight and suddenly becomes popular with a group of handsome boys—only to have them compete for her attention while she remains far more interested in their relationships with each other. Written and illustrated by Junko, the series ran for 14 issues from 2015 to 2018, offering a playful twist on the harem genre by centering a fujoshi protagonist whose passions lie elsewhere. It’s a lighthearted, self-aware take on fandom and romance that resonated with readers for its unique premise and humorous character dynamics.
