Best Japanese BL Thus Far!

I was excited to watch this as it was Viki's second original BL after the commendable 'Where Your Eyes Linger.' Watching the first episode, I thought that this series was kinda weird but also kinda cute. With its two leads meeting one another by walking on a painted line on the side of the road, it kinda reminded me a bit of Your Name in a way. Their relationship does seem a bit too rushed. Like Ito went from struggling with his feelings for another guy to holding hands with Nishi in public. It is understandable though as the series is only 4 episodes long, so the creators had to really rush their relationship. Either way, I'm excited to watch the next episode!

Episode 2 was also adorable! The relationship did feel rushed as the story makes several time-jumps, but it does work. It feels like a montage of important moments in their relationship. I was surprised that Nishi didn't feel comfortable with kissing and that he needed time to prepare, which made me wonder if he had some kind of trauma in his childhood. Of course, he could just be someone who needs to prepare for those moments and I may be overthinking it. However, Ito was able to acknowledge Nishi's fear and I loved how the consent was played out! (Tharntype should take note lol). On a side note, I wonder how the girl at the end of the episode will affect Nishi and Ito's relationship.

Episode 3 was also good though quite sad. I wonder if Akira is bisexual or if he is actually gay, but denying his feelings in favor of a 'normal' relationship. I feel for Yuki who deserves better, especially since Akira was the one who pursued Yuki in the first place all those years ago. Hopefully, this series will have a happy ending. I've heard that the manga does have a happy ending. I wonder if the series will also have a happy ending.

Episode was so good! Akira divorcing his wife because he can't take pretending anymore. Akira standing up to his strict, traditionalist mother was inspiring! Akira trying tirelessly to find Yuki but is unsuccessful until he goes to Alaska and comes across Yuki, which was cheesy yes, but it made sense. I loved the ending montage which showed the mother embracing her daughter's international marriage and her son's gay relationship, which showed that parents can change and learn to accept their children. A baby would have been perfect at the ending. Like a baby sleeping in between Yuki and Akira with the close-up of their rings. That would have been so good! Especially since Akira wanted to have a child and broke down when he saw his ex-wife with a baby. By including a baby, the show could have showed that gay couples can have children and be a family. I wished that they did that. Either way, this was an engaging, touching story of the reality of gay love, discoring it, struggling with it and finally, accepting it!
