They're so goofy, they're cool.

Enter: a group of cool guys who seem like they've got that unapproachable swag. But look closer and you'll find a bunch of dorks who've gotten the act down pat. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy watching these clumsy dudes try to look cool all day, every day. (Source: Yen Press)

Does this have a strong BL moment? Not like it's meant to be but pretty much from the outlook and I may give it a read anyways if I have time.

There's not a single anime I liked from the director, maybe this is the one?

Woah I remember reading this a few years back, but never would I have thought it'd be getting an anime. Pretty cool, I guess, though it'd probably be an average anime. Still gonna watch it tho
