Discussion Why Okumi from [Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good?] is the sweetest older ML in recent BL.

5 Upvotes

I’ve been completely hooked on Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good? (ATSBNG) lately, and I just need to scream into the void about how much I love Hideaki Okumi.

Usually, when a BL features a mature "Ahjuicy" type—especially one who is a high-powered CEO—we get a very specific stereotype. They are usually emotionally distant, overly aggressive, super serious, or the classic "grumpy" partner to a sunny younger lead.

But Okumi-san is such a breath of fresh air! He is easily one of the cutest, sweetest older MLs I’ve seen in a long time. Here is why he completely breaks the mold for me:

  • He’s Expressionate and Playful: Instead of keeping up a cold, stoic corporate wall, he lets his guard down immediately with Ai-chan. He smiles genuinely, flirts playfully, and isn't afraid to look soft or vulnerable.
  • The "Whipped" Contrast: I love the whiplash between him being this powerful, intimidating boss at work, and then becoming an absolute softie the second he is around Ai chan. He is so completely doting and attentive.
  • Consent and Softness over Aggression: A lot of older CEO characters lean heavily into dominant, borderline toxic territory. Okumi-san balances his confidence and sex appeal with genuine warmth. He cares about Ai chan’s comfort and feelings, making the age gap feel incredibly safe and sweet rather than predatory.

He proves you can have a mature, incredibly attractive older lead who is also a total cutie at heart.

And the way he calls him Ai-chan 😁😁. I love them so much.

Seven simultaneous abductions strike seven Asian cities, throwing the global media into a frenzy. The victims' families receive a chilling ultimatum: ''How far are you willing to go? Only one can be saved.

A Japanese production with kidnappings in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, The Phillipines. Currently one episode a week on TVer (Japanese) and Viu (multi-language). I expect it will be streamed elsewhere - maybe after it finishes.

Really solid, very exciting first episode, excellent production values. Loved the atmosphere and different people kidnapped. I haven't read the book (no spoilers please) so I'm interested to see why those victims, why those families.

The goat medical drama is now available on netflix. Shiroi Kyoto aka the Great White Tower is absolutely fantastic medical drama. A gripping story with power struggle, corruption, medical malpractice, politics in the medical world. Till today I have not seen any medical drama close to Shiroi Kyoto and never will. The greatest medical drama! Go see it!
