Novels

My Beautiful Man is written by Yuu Nagira as her debut work. [11] It is published by Tokuma Shoten under the Chara Bunko imprint, with Rikako Kasai providing the illustrations. [12] Following the novels' initial releases, Nagira continued the series, which is serialized in the bimonthly magazine Shosetsu Chara beginning with the magazine's vol. 41 released on November 22, 2019. [13]

In a 2021 interview with Da Vinci, Nagira stated that she and her editors had expected My Beautiful Man to end in only one volume. [7] Nagira expressed surprise at how well-received Hira was as a character because of his "creepy" personality, as she had assumed readers of the boys' love genre preferred characters and settings that "reflected their desires." [7] Nagira also stated that because of how well-received Hira was to her audience, she was able to subvert other boys' love tropes, particularly with how Kiyoi gains 20 kg. for a movie role in the third volume. [7] While Hira was written to be "creepy", Nagira felt that the readers of the BL genre were able to sympathize with him because they understood the feeling of supporting idols. [7]

Tokyopop licensed the novels for English-language distribution in North America as part of their LoveLove imprint. [14]

[4] [19] The first volume was released on June 28, 2019. [20] The second volume was released on July 23, 2021. [5] [21] A special version of the CD included a bonus CD adapting the chapter "Moon Age 14." [22] The third volume was released on April 21, 2023, and peaked at no. 34 on the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart on its first week of release. [23]

For their roles, Ono wanted to express Hira with "delicacy and detail", stating that he consulted the sound director about Hira's stuttering. [24] Saito described that there was a "gap" between how Hira views Kiyoi and Kiyoi's true self, so he took care to portray the balance between them. [24] Horie stated he paid attention in portraying Koyama's "human side", particularly in the scene where he cries because he is in love with Hira. [25]

Television drama

On October 12, 2021, a live-action television drama series adaptation was announced. [1] [26] The series was broadcast for 6 episodes [6] from November 19, 2021, [a] to June 15, 2023, on MBS on their programming block Drama Tokku [ ja].

[1] [26] Nagira praised the cast in a 2021 interview, stating that she was initially concerned as she felt the success of the drama adaptation depended on the actor cast for Kiyoi. [7] She also speculated that the "deciding factor" for Riku Hagiwara being cast as Hira may have been his eyes. [7] Hagiwara focused on conveying his feelings through his eyes and facial expressions, and Yagi consciously tried to focus on having "beautiful" behavior, finding it difficult to portray the change in Kiyoi after meeting Hira. [28]

[30] [31] The drama adaptation has several parts changed from the original novel. [6]

My Beautiful Man was renewed for a second season, which was broadcast from February 7, 2023, to February 28, 2023, for a total of 4 episodes. [32] It was broadcast on MBS as part of the programming block Dramaism [ ja] as well as TBS TV. [10] Additional broadcasts include TBS TV, HBC, TUT, and RKB.
