I don`t get the BL thing. Is it a Boy`s Love Parody? Doesn`t look like it.

My Japanese skills are pretty poor... I read somewhere else it was a "genderbender" manga and also didn`t get where the genderbender is.

If someone could explain these points to me I`d be grateful.

The words "boys" "love" and "gag" in the same sentence only takes me to one place. Yes, I'm a perv. And that's a dirty joke waiting to happen.

I don't think I'll be even trying this, but..
I'm somewhat confused at who the target audience is supposed to be..

It's a gag series.
It's technically a "BL".
But it looks like it has fanservice of the girls. (Honestly, the one girl looks horny or something.)

The "BL" part obviously is for comedic effect, as I doubt girls, (or guys for that matter), like the character designs.
It seems like a few of the girls in the series will be trying to get attention from the guys, but are ignored since the guys are gay. (Which is probably what most of the comedy is based off of.)

Not sure, but I think I may have cleared myself of my own confusion.

It's not s boys love show. There's a guy who has strong feelings for his friend, but his friend is always talking about boobs and stuff.

If the mere presence of a person who might be gay turns you off, too bad, because this is the funniest show I've seen that is this length.
