“When Aoba Seragaki is drawn into the shady underworld that surrounds the virtual game Rhyme, all he thought he knew falls apart. 6.īefore I get any further down the rabbit hole of DMMD, I should provide a plot synopsis as taken directly from HiDive: The undertones in this show more closely align themselves to something like Cheer Boys than something like No. There is, of course, undertone–one of the many potential marks of a BL as opposed to a yaoi–but this undertone is significantly milder than that of its counterparts in the genre. 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).
