There’s aan upco. Ing TV show in Japan that will be an adaptation of an essay called Grappler Baki BL de wa Nai ka to 1-Nichi 30-Jikan 30-Nichi Kangaeta Otome no Kiroku (Notes of a Girl Who Spent 30 Hours a Day for 300 Days Thinking “So Baki The Grappler is BL, Right?” which stars Honoka Matsumoto as protagonist Akane Kojima.

Here’s what the show is about:

In the live-action series, protagonist Akane Kojima works under a stationery company and maintains a normal life, while keeping her fujoshi (female fan of BL) life a secret. When she first reads Baki The Grappler, she is drawn in by the physical beauty and alluring attitudes of the characters, and begins imagining BL encounters between the characters. At work, she performs her work flawlessly, but at home, she draws comfort from imagining her ships. But between her colleague Takeno’s upcoming work presentation, her boss Kashiwara, and her reunion with her old classmate Shibamoto, her life starts getting unstable.

You know I honestly never saw Baki from a Yaoi perspective. Just imagine the sexhal overtones in the fight between Baki and his half brother Jack Hammer aka Jack Hanma.
