Ossan's Love centers around same-sex romance, but avoids turning its characters into tropes or mouthpieces. While the story leans on novelty and comedic aspects of BL (boys' love), the narrative largely remains character-driven rather than forcing ideological points. Still, identity plays a big part in the story, occasionally competing with more traditional romance or personal growth arcs.

The series playfully challenges traditional views on masculinity and relationships, normalizing same-sex attraction in a light-hearted way. While the show doesn't outright attack traditional values, it subtly redefines 'normal' without much emphasis on family or religious themes. Gender roles are lightly subverted for comedic effect.

Ossan's Love presents alternative lifestyles in a positive, if sanitized, light. Traditional perspectives aren't mocked, but they're mostly left unexamined. The series avoids strong ideological messaging, keeping things mostly cheerful, but doesn't provide much perspective diversity in its world.
