Description:

"Boys! Please Kiss Him, Instead of Me" follows Serinuma Kae, a high school girl whose passion for BL manga defines her world. Contentedly chubby, she immerses herself in fictional romance. Her life takes a dramatic turn when the death of a beloved BL character plunges her into profound depression, leading to an unexpected and significant weight loss.

To her utter surprise, Serinuma's new slender appearance transforms her social standing overnight, making her incredibly popular at school. Suddenly, she finds herself the object of affection for four handsome admirers, each vying for her attention. However, Serinuma's ingrained BL perspective makes her hilariously oblivious to their romantic overtures. Instead of embracing the newfound popularity, she grapples with the confusion of why these boys are interested in her, rather than each other. This charming film explores Serinuma's journey as she navigates real-life romance through her unique lens, questioning her perceptions of love and popularity, and ultimately deciding if she can accept her own budding affections or if she'll forever remain a dedicated fan, shipping everyone else.
