New Release: High School BL Manga "There’s No Way I’m Excited About Fushimi" Volume 1 is Out
For all the Boys' Love fans out there, we have some very exciting news to share today. The much-awaited first volume of Kaito Yukikawa's latest work, titled "There’s no way I’m excited about Fushimi" (Fushimi-kun ni Tokumeku Wake Nai), has officially hit the stands today, March 13th. If you have been looking for a fresh high school romance with a bit of a unique twist, then this is definitely one you should be adding to your collection right away.

A Heart-Fluttering Story of Friends to Something More
The story follows two high school boys, Momoyama and Fushimi, who have been very close friends since their middle school days. They have that kind of solid bond where they can talk about almost anything. However, Momoyama hides a slightly peculiar secret—he has a major lip fetish. He has always found himself staring a bit too much at Fushimi’s lips, but he managed to keep his desires in check for a long time.
Everything changed during one fateful moment when he just couldn't overcome his urge to get closer. That is when Fushimi, surprisingly catching on to the tension, asked him quite directly, "Do you want to try kissing me?" Since that day, the dynamic between them has shifted completely. Momoyama has become strangely conscious of his friend, and every small interaction now feels like a big deal. You can find out everything you need to know about Fushimi and this sweet yet awkward journey in the newly released volume.
What Makes This BL Manga Stand Out?
The charm of this series lies in how it captures those messy, fluttering feelings of a first crush. It’s not just a typical romance; it’s about navigating the fine line between friendship and love. Here are some highlights of what to expect:
- Relatable Characters: Momoyama’s inner struggle with his "fetish" and his genuine affection for Fushimi makes him very likeable.
- Unique Premise: Starting the romantic progression with a kiss rather than ending with one adds a very nice layer of tension.
- Beautiful Art: Kaito Yukikawa’s art style perfectly captures the youthful energy and the intimate moments between the leads.
- Slow-Burn Tension: Even though a kiss happens early, the emotional development is a delightful slow-burn.
Serialisation and Availability
Currently, the work is being serialised in Kodansha's digital BL magazine, Honey Milk, where it has already gained quite a loyal following. The release of Volume 1 is a big milestone for the series, and it’s the perfect time for new readers to jump in. If you want to dive deeper into why this story is becoming so popular, you should check out everything you need to know about Fushimi to see if it matches your taste.
It is really heart-warming to see more of these sweet, character-driven BL stories getting physical releases. If you are a fan of high school dramas that focus on emotional realness mixed with a bit of comedy, "There’s no way I’m excited about Fushimi" is a must-read for this month.
