Delusional Boyfriend Book Club

CSC

Welcome to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club — a romance-obsessed podcast and channel devoted to BL, manhwa, manga, anime, live-action dramas, and romance novels.

We overanalyze relationships, obsess over the fictional men who have ruined our real-life standards, unpack iconic tropes, and crown the top-tier boyfriends who live rent-free in our heads.

This is a judgment-free space where delusion is always the solution.

New romance and BL episodes drop every Thursday. One Piece manga episodes — where we simp over shonen men — release every Tuesday.
