The New BL Comic Series Launches: A Stir in Domestic Life

New Original BL Comic Series Launch

On April 24, 2026, the anticipated original BL comic titled "My Envy for the Senior was Fallen, So I’ll Start Helping" starts its serialization, available on major eBook platforms. Published by DONUTS Co., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, and authored by the talented Kan Aoshima, this comic promises to deliver an engaging blend of humor and heartfelt moments. The series will be updated bi-weekly, offering readers a delightful ongoing experience.

Overview of the Series

The comic narrates the quirky domestic life between a lethargic senior and his overly caring junior, set against the backdrop of their college adventures. The story follows Hiroki Kaibara, a university student whose life takes an unexpected turn when his high school junior, Ren Ogata, suddenly moves in with him. Ren, who had admired Hiroki from afar during high school, enrolls at the same university just to be closer to him. However, his idealized image of Hiroki shatters when he discovers his senior living in a cluttered apartment, lacking basic life skills.

Dazed by the unhealthy state of his beloved senior, Ren decides to play the role of a caretaker, determined to return Hiroki to the glowing figure he idolized in high school. Yet, Ren himself is not without his flaws and struggles with managing everyday chores. This discrepancy leads to a chaotic yet endearing life together, filled with laughable mishaps and heartwarming moments.

As the two navigate their messy yet charming coexistence, they each start to develop feelings that go beyond just admiration. Ren finds joy in every moment spent with Hiroki, while Hiroki, although finding it bothersome at times, begins to realize he doesn’t mind the constant attention of his junior. The relationship grows from caretaking to something deeper, woven with humor and relatable situations.
