Studio Deen’s new anime, Twilight Out of Focus, is a BL (Boys Love) series centered around roommates Mao Tsuchiya and Hisashi Ootomo. They establish three rules on camera at the beginning: Mao will keep Hisashi's homosexuality a secret, Hisashi will refrain from making romantic advances toward Mao, and they will respect each other's “personal time”.
The story takes a turn when Mao's film club announces their new BL-themed movie and chooses Hisashi for the lead role. Mao is asked to convince Hisashi to take the role, creating complications for him due to their prior agreements. However, before Mao can suggest a casting change, the director Giichi convinces Hisashi to accept the part.
As Mao and Hisashi begin working together, Mao realizes he has started developing feelings for Hisashi, complicating matters further since Hisashi already has a boyfriend. The narrative explores Mao’s journey toward this potentially unattainable love, delving into what fate has in store for the two roommates.
