We are 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 IRL 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. Join us every Thursday for main episodes and Tuesdays for bonus One Piece mini manga episodes!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T04:17:39.838829+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/delusional-boyfriend-book-club-7167192"},"episode":{"title":"Merman in My Tub (BL Anime Review)","slug":"merman-in-my-tub-bl-anime-review","published_at":"2026-06-24T03:11:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/delusional-boyfriend-book-club-7167192/merman-in-my-tub-bl-anime-review","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/delusional-boyfriend-book-club-7167192","url":"https://delusionalboyfriendbookclub.podbean.com/e/merman-in-my-bathtub-bl-anime-review/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/x7juxb7kbgubdrjt/merman_tub_am7lv.mp3","summary":"This week on Delusional Boyfriend Book Club, we obsess over Merman in My Bathtub and ask an important question: is this anime a gateway to BL... or is it already BL? Join me in yapping about mermen, roommates, suspiciously romantic moments, and why this series has been fueling fujoshi debates for years. Is it queerbait, genuine BL, or something in between? New romance and BL episodes drop every Thursday. One Piece manga episodes — where we simp over shonen men — release every Tuesday. Follow along and subscribe to discover a new delusional boyfriend twice a week, every week. #Fujoshi #BL #BLAnime #BLShip #FictionalMen #BoysLove #AnimeReview #Yaoi #Fandom #RomancePodcast","meta_description":"This week on Delusional Boyfriend Book Club, we obsess over Merman in My Bathtub and ask an important question: is this anime a gateway to BL... or is it…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1303,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/delusional-boyfriend-book-club-7167192/episodes/merman-in-my-tub-bl-anime-review/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/delusional-boyfriend-book-club-7167192/merman-in-my-tub-bl-anime-review.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
