"I want to tell you each time, so that this feeling reaches you."

To be honest, I was kinda skeptical due to the fact that it was on Netflix but I ended up finishing all 8 episodes in one sitting until 2 pm. I truly adore this show and pray with all my heart that we get another season because there is so much to explore and do with this show. I know its manga adaption, I personally have not read it but I hear its really good. The show itself and the story was really good. It had me silently screaming and yelling. The supporting cast was good as well, I personally LOVED Akane. Although she was not the special someone for Kakeru, she still helped him with his own special person which I find so sweet. The scenery was beautiful. I find it really funny that every time either one of the boys blush or think about the other, there is always this glitter affect that is on the screen and I can't help but laugh because I couldn't take it seriously. On the other hand, the acting had its moments for sure but I cannot say that it was amazing. The scenes where Ohara would pin or hug Kakeru felt a bit weird or unnatural. I didn't feel chemistry all that well, the laughs felt forced at times and so did the smiles. I know its acting but you're, as an actor, supposed to make the viewer believe this is real but this show flopped on that which is a bummer. As well as when they were shocked, it was kind of over dramatic (Example: Kakeru when he passes Ohara saying his type is childhood friends) Going back to the background characters, I really enjoyed how Yui would be getting the hints between Ohara and Kakeru. The show didn't force or full out tell us that Yui had figured it out but they told us by showing little bits where Yui would look at Ohara and I loved that. I love when we as the viewer just pick up on these instead of the show just shoving it down our throats. When Ohara pushed Kakeru on the bed I was GAGGED. My jaw dropped to the floor and he SLID...SLID HIS HAD UP HIS SHIRT AND KISSED HIS NECK WHAT THE HECK. I was so shocked, I loved it. I love how Ohara gets out of his shell because of Ashiya, they're polar opposites in public but when alone they switch personalities. I just adore the show, in no way is it perfect but I have and will rewatch it again and again. The show wasn't angsty or dark, very lighthearted but would touch on some important topics like insecurity in relationships. Especially when Ashiya felt like he wasn't anything for Ohara to brag about, I related to that so much. I do hope they do more with this show, I'd love to see them together again. I love the childhood friend dynamic. I love their relationship and how Ohara gave time to Kakeru. I also want to point out how much I love the relationship between Ohara and his sister, Mikoto. When Yamato was heading out for the Christmas date with Kakeru, she said she'd stay up all night with Ohara is Kakeru rejected him. So sweet. I want them to delve deeper into Oharas' life because we know a bit of the dad and mom. It was talked about very briefly. There is so much I want to see and I really recommend this if you are just dipping your toes into BL shows or BL over all. Please give it a watch, I feel like this show is very slept on, it deserves more attention :)
