New Manga Adaptation of Heroine Transported to BL World Begins
Exciting news for readers interested in the BL genre: Kigi Amazata's new manga adaptation "Oshi Kapu no Oki ni Mesu Mama: Kossori Ouen Suru Hazu ga Naze ka Watashi ga Motete Masu!? @COMIC" (roughly translated as "According to the Preference of My Favorite Couple: I Was Supposed to Secretly Support Them, but Why Am I the Popular One?!") began its serialization on June 8 on TO Books' digital platform Corona EX.
This entertaining story is a manga adaptation of a novel originally written by Himesara. The plot is as follows: A noblewoman finds herself reincarnated into a BL (Boys Love) world. While planning to secretly support the love between her two favorite men (her "oshi kap" or favorite couple), things take an unexpected turn, and this time she becomes the center of romantic attention. The protagonist's confusion and comical situations form the basis of the story.
This type of "reincarnation into a BL world" concept has gained significant popularity among Japanese female readers in recent years. In particular, the "reincarnated into a BL world" subgenre appeals to a wide audience by combining both humor and romance. Himesara's original novel is known as one of the popular examples of this trend. The manga adaptation's illustrator, Kigi Amazata, is known for previous short works in various anthologies and is making her first long-running series with this project.
The platform Corona EX is TO Books' digital publishing channel focusing on BL and female-oriented content. Successful series with similar themes have been published there before. Although the release frequency of new chapters has not been announced yet, a weekly or biweekly update format is generally expected. Readers can read the first chapter of the series for free on Corona EX.
This isekai-BL blend story is a must-start for fans of the genre. In particular, the theme of "finding oneself while supporting a favorite couple" seems likely to bring smiles and maintain high romantic tension. In the coming weeks, we will see how the series progresses and the dynamism that the illustrations add to the story.
