Like, it was totally a thing, and in all genres, it’s my sort of thing. I can’t say that Aoba wasn’t the damsel in distress (in a totally great and not derogatory way, mind you) that the other dudes needed to physically save while he saved them emotionally. Okay, so back on the BL-that-isn’t-a-BL train, I can’t say there weren’t moments. However, after getting forcefully dragged into a dangerous Rhyme match and hearing rumors about disappearing Rib players, all of Aoba’s hopes of living a normal life are completely abolished.” To be able to play Rhyme, you must have an “All-Mate” (an AI that typically looks like a pet), and the match must be mediated by an ‘Usui.’Īoba Seragaki has no interest in playing either game he prefers to live a peaceful life with his grandmother and All-Mate, Ren. Rib is an old school game in which gangs engage in turf wars against each other, while Rhyme is a technologically advanced game wherein participants fight in a virtual reality. ‘Rib’ and ‘Rhyme’ are the most common games played on the island.

Honestly, I really liked DMMD, but my reasons for liking it did not include romance. If you ever wanted BL anime without any of the BL, DRAMAtical Murder is the title for you! It’s fine. However, for all the scandal of its source material (more on that later), the anime itself is tame in both terms of general romance AND, well, specifically love between boys.
Embracing BL (not yaoi which is different and not my thing, personally) as an anime genre made available new titles for my viewing pleasure, not the least enjoyable of which has proved DRAMAtical Murder (DMMD).
