September ’25 BL Manga of the Month: Happy Crappy Life by Harada
Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club!
For September’s BL Manga of the Month, Courtney is reading Happy Crappy Life—a messy, darkly funny romance about bad habits, bad decisions, and the chaotic push-and-pull between two neighbors who share way too much in common.
Courtney breaks down Harada’s sharp artwork, the raw dynamic between Kasuya and Kuzuya, and why this manga hits so hard despite (or because of) its unapologetic messiness. If you love flawed characters, complicated emotions, and BL that isn’t afraid to laugh at life’s worst moments, this one’s for you.
New episodes drop every 5th, 15th, and 25th—covering BL Anime, BL Manga, BL Manhwa, and Reverse Harem Romance Novels! Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app to keep up with the book club.

August '25 BL Manga of the Month: Lullaby of the Dawn by Ichika Yuno
Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club!
For August’s BL Manga of the Month, Courtney is diving into Lullaby of the Dawn—a haunting, beautifully drawn fantasy romance about devotion, destiny, and the unspoken cost of survival.
When young priest Elva is introduced to a boy named Alto, what begins as a sacred duty turns into something far more complex. In a world where ritual, sacrifice, and silence govern everything, the growing bond between them challenges the very system that brought them together.
Courtney unpacks the manga’s ethereal worldbuilding, themes of power and protection, and how Lullaby of the Dawn crafts intimacy in quiet, aching moments. If you're into forced closeness, tender angst, and soft boys caught in brutal systems, this one will break your heart in the best way.
New episodes drop every 5th, 15th, and 25th! Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app to stay in the loop with the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club.
