English Dub Review: Sasaki and Miyano “I Don’t Want to Pressure Him”

Overview:

Miyano finds out the cultural festival will have a cross-dressing competition. As Sasaki does his best to wait patiently for Miyano’s answer about his feelings, a familiar face from Miyano’s past brings Miyano a new perspective.

Our Take:

We got a little more insight into Miyano and his crush. Though it helps when he runs into her. What doesn’t help is when Sasaki is with him and gets clearly jealous. Unless you love all the BL tropes and that’s what you’re here for because in that case, you loved it. Nothing quite screams romance or BL like grabbing the object of your affection and taking them away from the other person.

It’s one of the few tropes I’m not super big on. Sure it shows how much they are into that person but it’s also a tad bit toxic and doesn’t seem like something Sasaki would do. But love does make us do dumb things sometimes so hopefully, we can just chalk it up to that and not him becoming a creepy guy. One thing that is really interesting in this show is since Miyano loves BL so much he is constantly pointing out the tropes happening. I find it to be a fun little bit of fourth-wall breaking.
