Have you ever wanted something you can’t have? Have you loved someone so much you were afraid to be honest about your feelings? Have you ever loved someone so much you were afraid to accept theirs?

At the office, Eito Kanda and Kou Ueno have a cat-and-mouse relationship. Their coworkers are convinced that they have some kind of unspoken beef with each other and that Eito messes up on purpose just to mess with Kou. And, who can blame them? The two couldn’t possibly be more different: Kou is aloof, quiet, and detail-oriented—which resulted in him being removed from the sales department and swapped into accounting—while Eito is the company’s star salesman. Intensely outgoing and hardworking, with strong communication skills, Eito’s loved by most everyone in the office while Kou mostly keeps to himself.

In reality, though, the two are incredibly close. Having gotten to know each other during their time together in sales, Eito and Kou know each other better than almost anyone. Kou knows all about Eito’s issues with his father, and Eito knows all about Kou’s sexuality. The two hide their relationship at the office because Kou is skittish about their coworkers getting any ideas about just how friendly the two are. They’re just friends, and Kou is intent on keeping it that way. Having been traumatized by a previous relationship, Kou isn’t keen on dating a friend, and he’s particularly uninterested in dating a straight friend.

Renta! To Launch BL-related Merchandise & Home Goods Line

Have you ever wanted to rep your BL fan community out in public, or from the comfort of your own home? Well, starting this spring, Renta! can help you out with that — with our very first line of official merchandise made to cater to the needs of all BL fans!

So, what’s all included in this initial batch of exclusive Renta! merch? Well, first up, we’ve got the oh-so-relatable “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my yaoi” mug — the idea for which was actually inspired by the groggy musings of a certain non-morning person on the BL team (read: me) here at Renta!

We took extra care to make the design simple enough that it’ll fit perfectly into your tableware collection whatever your tastes, yet stylish enough to catch the eye of whatever company you find yourself in and get that vital message across: NO conversation allowed unless we’re talkin’ boys’ love!!!

Also available to spice up your home decor is this lovely wooden-framed “Live Laugh Boys’ Love” sign. It’ll remind you of the TRULY important things in life, and please every suburban mom out there with good taste!

And, don’t worry — we’ve designed some wearable merch for you, too, so you can spread the love of yaoi wherever you go!

How about an “Omega in heat” shirt to show your omega pride AND deter passersby who might otherwise interrupt your neverending hunt for BL? Haters BEGONE! 👏

We’ve also got a version for all you alphas out there. You matter, and that knot deserves to make its presence KNOWN! 🥴

And, to carry around all those THICC BL manga and novels, we’ve got a self-explanatory tote bag. The era of feeling shame around our passions is OVER. We’re proudly announcing our love for yaoi, and everyone and their grandma is gonna know it! 😤

Are you excited yet?? 🤩 Keep on reading for even MORE merch, and details on how to get your hands on these prized items! But, hurry — this first run is available only for a limited time, and it’s all first-come, first-served!
