''Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai Vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko'' (''絶対BLになる世界 VS 絶対BLになりたくない男'', roughly translated as "A World Where Everything Definitely Becomes BL vs. The Man Who Definitely Doesn't Want To Be In A BL") is a 2018 Comedy manga by Konkichi.
The manga follows a plain looking boy that realizes that he's an extra in a world of BL Manga. Refusing to take part in the romantic plots flourishing around him, he studies how these romances happens to avoid any chance he might get involved in a romantic story.
!Tropes
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: The main character comments that there's an uncommonly high amount of handsome men in the world he lives in, which makes sense since many of them will get paired off.
* ContrivedCoincidence: It's noted that the world will bend itself backward to get the romances going. In "VS the drinking party", the main character notes that there was only a 30% chance of raining, which still ended up happening just when two main character were walking home, which makes it likely that they'll seek shelter and have to spend the night together in a hotel or something.
* ChromosomeCasting: Downplayed. The main character observes that the world seems to be made up of mostly men, with women having their faces blurred out or being relegated to the background. He notes that they tend to be a source of supportive advice, friends that could be a FalseRomanticLead and often are lesbians themselves.
* FailedASpotCheck: The main character realizes that the couples in the world are able to notice really small hints that each other are sick. He points at two characters, one of which is only slightly out of breathe and red in the face, with that being enough for his love interest to realize he is starting to get sick. He points out that since he's a mob character, nobody realizes he's in a much worse state than the ones in a relationship and nobody bothers with him.
* GenderBlenderName: It's commented that the majority of guys in that world have names that sound feminine, and many even go above and beyond what is usual to nickname other male characters with female sounding nicknames, like nicknaming a man called Morikawa as "Rika", or exclusively referring to male characters by their female sounding last name. The main character comments that this facilitates EntertaininglyWrong assumptions about people's gender, making it so that someone expecting to meet a girl would meet a guy.
* GenreSavvy: The main character thoroughly studied the BL genre to make sure he has no way of accidentally starting a romantic plot with another man. The manga's comedy comes from his commenting on the various tropes of the genre happening around him.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each chapter is named as "VS X" like "VS female characters" or "VS voice volume"
* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: In "VS the molester", the Main Character is in a train where a couple are grinding and groping discretely in public, which intensively bothers him. He mentions that in this world, it's very common to catch people in the act or at least about to do the act. He even memorizes a list of excuses he's been given. When the couple realizes that he could see them, they decide to go home to continue, which the Main Character mentions is still not great because they're likely to just have sex in the entrance instead of getting to the bed.
* LoneWolf: When he is invited to a drinking party, the Main Character calls out the fact that, as a mob character, he needs to be sociable, and that unsociable characters are in fact ''more'' likely to become protagonists in a romantic plot than someone that is very sociable, since they stand out from the rule. The correct way to avoid a romance is to go to the party, and avoid anyone that seems like a possible main character for a plot, and if a situation arise that could start a romance, push another main character-looking character in it and avoid being part of it.
* MetaFiction:
* PerspectiveFlip:
** The manga is told from the perspective of a mob character in a world where many characters will become main characters in a BL romance.
** One chapter is told from the perspective of the main character's sibling's unlucky friend, which shows that for other people, the Main Character's face is basically invisible. The very final of that chapter shifts the perspective back to the Main Character, who comments how sad it is the guy can't possibly realize he's stuck in a pretty bad situation.
* ShaggyDogStory: The manga implies that there's a limit of how much the main character can run away from a romantic plot. One chapter shows that he had a ForgottenFirstMeeting with his brother's friend who has held a candle for him for 8 years. After meeting him, he promises to come back in 3 years to ask him out again, to which the main character decides to just brush it off, saying it's a problem for 3 years later. Even before that, it's shown that he is someone characters can fall in love with, as a classmate has a small crush on him.
