We're Not Cut Out to Be Lovers is a steamy, modern Boys Love romance from creator Kou Hirokawa that proves opposites don't just attract—they combust. Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 18+ series delivers humor, heat, and surprising heart in equal measure.

 

Koichi is a popular streamer with over 400,000 followers who's built his brand as an expert on love and relationships. There's just one problem: his loud recording sessions have been driving his neighbor absolutely crazy for months. That neighbor is Kumazawa—a brooding, private auto mechanic who's nursing wounds from a recent painful breakup and has zero patience for Koichi's antics.

 

When Kumazawa finally snaps and silences Koichi with an impulsive kiss, neither man expects it to ignite something real. What starts as a purely physical arrangement between two people who seem completely incompatible slowly evolves into something deeper. Kumazawa insists he has no interest in a straight guy, but Koichi is determined to prove they might just be perfect for each other after all.

 

By Volume 2, the stakes get higher. Kumazawa has moved in with Koichi, and their relationship faces new challenges: Koichi wants to share their love with his massive online audience, but Kumazawa isn't ready to come out publicly. Complications multiply when Kumazawa's estranged brother becomes Koichi's new video editor, and an old classmate with an obvious crush reenters the picture. Between family secrets, public pressure, and steamy interludes, these two must learn that sharing a home is easy—sharing their hearts is the real challenge.

 

We're Not Cut Out to Be Lovers is the perfect pick for readers craving a modern, spicy BL romance with real emotional depth beneath all that heat.

 

Perfect for readers who love: Boys Love, neighbors-to-lovers romance, opposites attract tropes, steamy/mature content, social media drama, coming-out narratives.

Introducing the noisy neighbor of your nightmares: a Youtuber.

It's been six months since broody auto-mechanic Kumazawa moved in next door to Koichi, a streamer who claims to be an expert on love. After one too many loud recordings, Kumazawa finally snaps and shows up at Koichi's door... only to shut him up with a passionate kiss!

Kumazawa has no interest in pursuing a straight guy, but Koichi stops by night after night and won't leave until he's "satisfied." Coming off the heels of a traumatic breakup in which his partner cheated, Kumazawa is convinced he and Koichi won't work out, but Koichi is determined to persuade him otherwise. Can a physical relationship between two people who are totally NOT "meant to be" turn into something real...?
