Fudanshis UNITE! Hibiki, an ordinary bartender posing as a charming, enigmatic, and ordinary man secretly gushes over his handsome customers and makes them his BL inspiration in this quirky and hot 2-episode series, ‘Accomplishment of Fudanshi Bartender’.
Hibiki is first introduced on the screen as he smoothly puts on his apron. We see a glimpse of his tea on the table. His beautiful eyes are shown as he fixes his glasses. The atmosphere is calm and serene like his aura. But that immediately changes when Hibiki sits down and looks at a tweet to his Yaoi tweet. The commenter is ecstatic about his work, saying that he is looking forward to what will happen next in the series because the couple are agonizing but adorable. The commenter adds that he is already rooting for the characters because he knows they are secretly in love with each other.
Hibiki seems to be so pleased with this and immediately types his thanks. However, his boss comes in and apologizes for disturbing him. Hibiki just charmingly smiles, looking adorable in his glasses.
In the bar, Hibiki showcases his amazing skills in concocting drinks for his patrons. He takes pride in his abilities as a bartender and says in the voiceover that he believes that providing customer service is a skill he has perfected in his belt. However, he adds in the end that besides this amazing part of his life, there is a secret about him that he hasn’t told anyone.
Two women are shown fawning over his looks and bartending skills. One of the girls, coyly asks how he learned how to bartend. Hibiki politely replies that he taught himself. She catches his short reply and says that he is the mysterious type that she likes. She adds that they don’t know much about him. The other girl speaks up and asks what his hobbies are. Hibiki is quick to his feet and replies that he records events that happen in the bar. The girl, who seems eager, asks again what he does on his day off to which he replies he watches the recordings of shows he missed during his work days. The two are not amused and satisfied by his answer. Hibiki senses this and replies that he enjoys shopping. The girls bite this answer and start fawning over him once again, saying that he’s so romantic. Hibiki looks satisfied as he has the girls convinced that what he does is definitely not out of the norm.
The scene cuts to a montage and in a 360-degree turn of events, Hibiki’s true nature is revealed. So different from his calm and collected appearance at the bar, Hibiki is now seen in his room decorated with BL manga characters. He maniacally draws and gushes over his characters which are revealed to be based on the customers he observes in the bar. He opens his TV to watch BL anime. It cuts again to him looking at his vast collection of Yaoi memorabilia, mentioning that he only buys merch of his ult BL Biases and kisses one of the posters.
Back at the bar, he is again seen as sophisticated. He reminds himself that no matter what, he will never let anyone know that he is a true committed fudanshi.
The staff consists of Haku, the manager, Hokuto, a part-time bartender, and Hibiki are doing the last-minute preparations in the bar. Hokuto tastes the raisin butter and exclaims that it is a very popular item. Hibiki agrees, adding that it is a classic dessert ordered by many customers. Haku asks Hokuto if the dessert comes from Hokuto to which she agrees. Hibiki describes Hokuto as someone who is thorough with her work and has a talent for making food. However, She enjoys being looked down on by Hibiki which he finds a little bit weird. Haku tells them he will be giving them bonuses because of their hard work. Out of excitement, Hokuto splashes water all over Hibiki. Hibiki gets irritated at her which excites Hokuto. Hibiki says she is clumsy and weird. Haku tells him to change which he does.
