Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club!

In this episode, we're diving into May's Manhwa of the Month: Love on Hold! This slow-burn BL romance is all about misunderstandings, missed chances, and the quiet ache of unspoken feelings. Join Courtney as she explores the emotional tension between Jeong-yoon, a shy college student nursing a long-time crush, and Chae-heon, the seemingly aloof object of his affection. Despite constantly being brought together by fate, neither of them can seem to take the first step—each convinced the other isn’t interested. But what if they’re both wrong?

With themes of pining, mutual miscommunication, and the bittersweet hope of a love that’s waited too long, Love on Hold will tug at your heartstrings in the best way. Tune in for a spoiler-free intro to the characters and tropes, followed by a spoiler-filled discussion of major plot points, character dynamics, and what Courtney thinks it’ll take for these two to finally get it together. Who’s her delusional boyfriend this month? Is it Jeong-yoon’s earnest yearning or Chae-heon’s hidden softness that wins her over? Listen to find out and weigh in with your thoughts!

In this special crossover episode, Courtney is joined by Val from Girls, Gays, Animes to talk about a manhua that’s got them both in a chokehold: I Ship My Rival x Me by PEPA and Qualia. This Chinese BL comic—adapted from a danmei novel—follows two rival actors, Wei Yanzi and Gu Yiliang, who are being marketed as enemies but quietly shipped by fans…and maybe catching feelings for each other behind the scenes.

Join us for a spoiler-free overview of the series' premise and tropes, followed by a deep dive into the story’s characters, humor, and the unique flavor of manhua compared to manga and manhwa. While Chinese censorship keeps the spice to a minimum, the chemistry, costuming, and comedic timing are off the charts—and Courtney’s delusional boyfriend of the week might just surprise you.

We’re so excited to finally collaborate with one of our favorite BL creators, so don’t forget to check out Girls, Gays, Animes and follow both of our podcasts for more crossover chaos!
