well at least they kinda talked & for now, r in a good place - but with these 2 saying happy ending (in-spite of the positive cutesy end) is a reach. just hope Kiyoi starts asserting himself & demanding what he wants in their relationship - cause hoping Hira would read his mind & stop with the "ima pebble.." crap, would never happen, not without a load of pushing & prodding (ノへ￣、) in the direction Kiyoi wanted their relationship to go/develop. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************liked the photographer Noguchi Hiromi's hypothesis about Hira's personality - that his submissiveness is a front, which isn't that much of a reach - heck it's a logical assumption (cause if u know anything about a BDSM relationship, the one with all the power is the Sub not the Dom) ＼（〇_ｏ）／(≧∇≦)ﾉ ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: was wrong & we didn't see any more or Anna's stalker - but this was so short, i guess there was more the enough drama with the leads {{{(>_<)}}}

this a toxic relationship, so sooner or later it was dew to combust, leaving both wounded & bleeding in it's wake. & sorry but i don't think either one is more at blame, both r - equally(!) just cause of different reasons. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Hira is an addict & Kiyoi is his drug. his brain shuts down & he is incapable of acting / reacting like a normal human-being around him. think the closest he has come to being normal, was around Koyama in the previous season. but when Kiyoi is involved, he goes crazy - he has put him on a pedestal & he rather worship him, then treat him like a normal human - how can any person enjoy this type of treatment in a relationship? sooner or latter it will get old. now if this was an actually S&M relationship they would talk and each would make clear what they needed from the other, setting ground rules. but they don't talk! not really about anything serious (ノへ￣、) **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Kiyoi on the other hand, is so guarded he will never say what is in his heart or mind, he rather put on a front, never demanding or explaining himself. if he did it might burst Hira's bubble - but isn't that reason enough, long over-due talk - some communication? something that would make things clear between them?? anything is better then this back & forth, where neither get's the other & they wont talk about what they really want from the other & why, but dance around - play house (but not really) & then who's shocked at the out come - this sad! & very toxic -

so guess this season is more from Kiyoi's POV, u for sure hear his inner dialogue, something we never got in the previous season. making this a more enjoyable watch, in-spite of the threats of violence (╹ڡ╹ ) ******************************************Hira is the same quirky nut from the 1st season - he's hilarious. always wished he'd grow a spine, but that will never happen. here both Kiyoi & Koyama r trying, but doubt that will occur. ***********************************************************************so glad to see that Kiyoi cares for him, as much as Koyama did(does?) & isn't maliciously trying to take advantage of him, like it came across in the 1st season. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw was wondering if there gonna be a bad-guy here & seeing Shitara (Anna's crazed fan) think he will be the one ＼（〇_ｏ）／

didn't enjoy the 1st season - it was an emotional mindf*ck (for lack of a better word). the relationship between the leads was totally toxic, but everyone was eating it up (unlike me). that's why, took me ages to watch this season. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************1st ep in & have to say it was hilarious. yeah there is this atmosphere of S&M between them - but at least here, their relationship doesn't come off exploitative, bordering on abusive. ******************************************************************even though Kiyoi is as b*tchy as ever, u can see that underneath his abrasive words he is as in-love/infatuated/addicted to Hira, as Hira is with him. still don't think they healthy - but maybe they r meant for each other, cause don't think anyone else would put-up with their weirdness = personalities (╹ڡ╹ ) ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************was nice to see Koyama (the guys everyone loved to hate in the 1st season) dude looks as good as i remember. hope he finds love & the writer/Autor doesn't use him to further the crazy couples plot

pity this story is a work of fiction cause it was perfection. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************not another ep got me ugly crying, love how observant Koji-san is, wish all parents where this loving, kind & generous with their love. but i guess he saw what a difference Yutaka made with Minoru & Tane. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this BL was beautiful in every way - perfectly acted even by the baby (who was phenomenal at times) will love to rewatch this when ever need something to warm up my heart & soul (´▽`ʃ♡ʃ♡ʃ♡ʃ♡ʃ♡ʃ♡ʃ♡ƪ)

well glad Yutaka found his voice & courage to face his past & his present (idk if u can misread so much in the past) but it is what it is, & at least Yutaka clearing up the misunderstanding with his past, found the strength to face the future/ Minoru & start to heal. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************worrying about breaking up when u r in the honeymoon stage isn't unheard off. u r so in-love with love that u feel like u can't live without the one u love. but life is life & so much can happen to not only end that love, but change how u feel, that - that is one thing u should push to the side & live in the moment. worry about that bridge when u cross it (❁´◡`❁)

OMG i was frustrated in this ep, so much so wanted to shake Yutaka, like dude WTF＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノへ￣、) it just went from bad to worse IMHO. that handshake was weak - like r u serious & then in-spite of Minoru making it clear, they should go back to how things were before his confession, Yutaka choses to ghost the whole family - what!!! ~(>_<。)＼(＃°Д°) *********************************************************************************************************************************************************i get being an introvert that usually avoids confrontation, let alone runs away rather then deal with his problems, this was Yutaka's go to - but seriously as time passed couldn't he find it in himself to man-up, especially for Tane?!??? not a fun ep to watch -(╬▔皿▔)╯

not me ugh crying all through this ep<(＿ ＿)>~(>_<。)＼/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ donno who broke my heart more, Yutaka finally finding the courage to confide in Minoru, or Tane breaking don't cause he sympathized with a weeping Yutaka. also loved that Koji the father was sensitive enough to understand that his son & Yutaka needed privacy to talk. *****************************************really heartwarming ep - making the leads even closer then they were. the kiss sealing the deal (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: considering the flashbacks i donno how Yutaka can say his adoptive parents were good, caring parents but i guess he felt indebted to them as he was adopted at 8, when he lost his parents as a child. so he knew what it was like not to have a family home. & as cold as these folks were, it would be better then an orphanage - maybe that's why his POV about his adoptive parents was so positive ＼（〇_ｏ）／

these character's r breakin my heart, baby Tane worrying that cause Yutaka's sick, he gonna die <(＿ ＿)> killed me. there is so much pureness in children its terrifying how genuine & giving they r - why this makes me sad, idk - it just does. just glad he got a loving family {{{(>_<)}}} **********************************************************************************************************in contrast we get Yutaka's childhood, those people that adopted him - what were they thinking?!? have a feeling he was a child of family, so they had to adopt him out of obligation, but didn't care beyond. that's why he was neglected, the way he was. freakin despairing watching his childhood flashbacks. also if this is how that family treated him, why now they keep trying to involve him? why the act?!? weird ＼（〇_ｏ）／***********************************************************************************but cause of them Yutaka doesn't know how to open up & until this ep Minoru was giving him a chance to reach a stage where he would on his own. that's why he was opening up to him, in the hopes Yutaka would follow suit. but considering how Yutaka's has lived, that won't be easy - that's why Minoru finally asked him too. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i think at the end of the previous ep, Yutaka finally realized he feels something for Minoru, this ep solidified his feelings. so hope he does open up & they get closer - i don't need a confession as long as they there for each other & treat each other like family. or as the saying goes "...actions speak louder than words..." (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

ironic that both leads where depressed in this ep - for different reasons. also ironic that 2 females, lead with different approaches, one to uplift & the other to demoralize. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Nao the "friend" from college (with ulterior motives) handled the situation poorly. get she cares & is worried - but she was also angry. 1st off her "... i shouldn't be the one to say it..." means what(?) cause she's the female, Minoru should be the one confessing or noticing how she felt & act on it?!? b.s logic - *************************************************************************& get her saying that Minoru should lead his own life, but saying that in front of Tane was tactless (＃°Д°) just cause he's a child, doesn't mean he's stupid & can't understand. plus her attitude towards that child was annoying - ur angry at the circumstances & taking it out on a child - really?!???? grow the f*ck up! ************************************************************at least Yutaka knows better then to take out his frustrations & trauma on an innocent. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************adults excusing their bad, intolerant behavior towards kids by saying "i don't like children" is an infantile excuse. as an adult u should know better, for sure need to have the ability to check ur impatience towards any child. if u restrain ur-self for the time u r around a child, it wont kill u - so grow the frack up & stop all the bellyaching （︶^︶）

my heart broke for Yutaka the child, his adoptive parents did good by bring a orphan (i assume) into their family. but sitting at that table quietly, while that moron of a son, belittles the same child - with them not saying a word, just changing the subject - negates all that good. adults should know better - little wonder Yutaka turned out the way he did, cause am sure his "older brother" has been psychologically abusing him all the while they were under the same roof. how the frack wont one have PTSD growing up under those conditions?!? poor Yutaka ╯︿╰ ******************************************************************& sadly Yuki is right, Yutaka hasn't changed {{{(>_<)}}} cause anyone who puts up with bullying at some point they have enough & "hit" back. now that Yutaka's independent, even if he doesn't want to confront the parents with the truth, he should put Yuki in his place. but as he still rather keep quite - he really hasn't changed - he still the timid, scared child - this freakin sad! *************************************************************************************************************************************************like i wrote in the previous ep Yutaka doesn't realize he cares for Minoru, he is in-love with the family as a whole & how they make him feel. finally strangers opened their house to him, welcoming him with open arms, accepting him as he is - that not the case with Minoru, who has fallen hard. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************love the acting - that's why i love Japanese BL's they not in ur face, but the acting / emotion's r subtle & yet so nuanced & deep that u can't help be moved by what u r seeing, the depth of feelings here really touch's my heart in a painful way it's so beautiful

the ep was heartwarming as the previous - that baby is so sweet ima get diabetes watching this. he so freakin adorable & loving - i would enjoy this BL if we just had him on screen (not much of a BL then, but wouldn't mind(❁´◡`❁)). *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************considering both leads the same age - wonder who the kid was Yutaka was "petting", Tane when he was younger? for sure can't be Minoru (⊙x⊙;) now that would be one hell of a time loop ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& really curious about Yutaka's childhood. think he has fallen for the whole family, cause of how warm, loving & inclusive they r. something that was lacking in his own family & childhood - "time" will tell

watching this am 90% sure, already read the manga. still been so long that don't feel like i know the plot (even though, pretty sure it aint gonna be complex) so looking forward to this. **************************************************************************what there was in this ep was adorable, sweet & very wholesome - even though Yutaka's PTSD is infuriating, who the frack talks sh*t to a child eating?!? (sadly know people like this) but usually u don't take it to heart - guess in Yutaka's case, it was more then some harsh words. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************loved the cast - the kid is adorable (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

thank frack this ended - like talk about dragging something out like rubber (& it was... almost in ever ep / every scene). if the plot was good, wouldn't notice - but it wasn't * know am the odd one out - but what's new (¬‿¬) *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************where to start; glad we didn't see Chanon, he did enough damage, now if anyone needed to be told by Thanya that "he wasn't needed anymore" it was that incompetent, clumsy, substandard fool of a bodyguard, father & husband ( ˘︹˘ ) i don't get her telling Palm to piss off (in so many words) that now he wasn't needed. pretty sure anyone with eyes got there was more between her son & Palm then a professional friendship. she more or less told him, he had done his job & now wasn't needed. so he shouldn't hold her son back - then she goes & tells her son to look for love (i.e. Palm) why?!? cause after 3 months he was still down in the dumps - so she didn't care for Palm's heartache, but god forbid her son's would? ************************************* ****************************************************************************************************************************************the start was a way for Chopper & Ben to redeem themselves - not to mention finally come together - it was whatever. just grateful they didn't kiss. the rest was filler, but as this the end so it was fine & we got a happy end in-spite of the nonstop foreshadowing. a 1 off （︶^︶）
