Boys Please Kiss Him Instead of Me (2020) is a Japanese live-action film adaptation of the hit manga *Watashi ga Motete Dōsunda* (“Kiss Him, Not Me”) by Junko. Produced by East Japan Marketing & Communications, the film brings to life the hilarious, heartwarming, and chaotic story of **Serinuma Kae** (played by Nana Komatsu), a devoted fujoshi obsessed with BL romance.
The story follows Kae, who is socially awkward and overweight, and spends most of her time enjoying boys’ love stories. When her favorite BL couples start becoming her reality, Kae suddenly loses a significant amount of weight, transforming into a stunning young woman. Unexpectedly, several handsome classmates — including **Onodera Hayato**, **Asuka Shun**, and **Takano Yuki** — fall for her, creating a comedic reverse-harem situation that conflicts hilariously with Kae’s own obsession: she’d rather see the boys pair with each other than pursue her.
The film blends romance, comedy, and school life drama with vivid performances, colorful cinematography, and faithful adaptation of the original manga’s humor and fan-centric moments. Fans of romantic comedies, Japanese school dramas, and live-action manga adaptations will find this film both entertaining and heartwarming.
