perfect ;

i am literally in a state of shock after just finishing this episode & wow i really am happy to have waited for this episode to write my review ;i liked the first episode ,i thought the second episode was really good & this episode was eo perfect i without a doubt in my mind gove it full marks ,hira does everything other archetype writers can’t even begin to dream of doing ,i adore his narration a lot he doesn’t give us a pretentious metaphor[ minase ]he doesn’t act smart but he’s a thoughtful person ,riku hagiwara does a great job & this episode yagi yusei really shines after ywo episodes of being just okay but that’s because he doesn’t really jave a character to do much so in annepisode where we finally get to see him thaw out his exteriors he really delivers ;this is a short show so the first two episodes was taking it step by step ,it felt slow but it felt right hira had to spend so long scared & anxious because the distance was so far ,he worked to close the gap between them & he did ,je became somepony kiyoi could smole at & enjoy being around & we get to see none of that 。we skip to graduation day & their last good±bye after rue happy moments & it is truly bitter+sweet 。he only got to be close after kiyoi was left with nopony else who he later went back go at the end of the day ,as fast as he got to smile was as soon as they parted ways & he was back to heing all alone ;this is an incredibly beautifully made show ,when kiyoi got up out of his seat & into hira’,s dace demanding an answer & we get up close into his face that’s exactly what we want to see & what we need to see ,the scenes are cut perfectly ,distanced beautifully & angled brilliantly ,theshots of them tgosther from a—third person speesocegive—is so beautiful to look at the amount of love & hard+work put into this show is paying off ,they went into this with respect for what they were doing ,what audience they were making it for & what medium they were using ,that ending song is so fucking jarring to hear but i feel a reapect for the television romance drama genre when i hear it ,a respect for the audience they eere making kt for ;i genuinely think this story needed this drama ,reading the manga it feels somber & hopeless but to see the awkward teenage boy fumble & scream when he is startled every ficking episode & fantasize about violent revenge in dramatic glamorous ways falling for another ordinary teenage boy who acts like a human charading as god who we can see his faults instead of a cleanly stroked drawing of perfection & his pathetic ,melancholic yearner ,that opening theme song makes me smile

😂 I didn't get that he used his photo…

😂 I didn't get that he used his photo for masturbation before reading the other reviews hahaha.I totally understand why people can't understand this relationship and find it toxic. It's definitely problematic. But somehow I love how they display it. The acting is really good. It's the small details that show that Kiyoi is interested in Hira. It's something totally different from other dramas I watched before and so far I really like it. But I tend to have this problematic dynamics too, so.. won't recommend to do this at home lmao.

Fangirling over Kiyoi!

I can't help but fangirl with the girls too. Kiyoi is so cute! While he's still overall quite mean towards Hira, but I can feel he gets kinder over time. Hope this would change soon. I love this couple, I just don't appreciate how toxic behavior is normalized in BL

Akhir dari masa SMA

Sejujurnya aku bingung sama episode kali ini, entah sedih atau bagaimana jadinya ; semuanya sama porsinya seolah-olah menjadi netral. Di awali dengan membaiknya hubungan Hira Kazunari (hiki) dengan Kiyoi, serta beberapa masalah Kiyoi yang terjadi. Walaupun Kiyoi sempat mendapat masalah dalam kehidupan hirarki tertingginya di sekolah seperti mendapatkan bully-an tetapi itu hanya sebentar dan menurutku sangat tidak masuk, Kiyoi adalah seorang tokoh dengan perwatakan yang kuat sehingga ketika dia terkena bully-an teman-temannya, scene tersebut malah seperti scene "perkelahian". Hubungan Kiyoi dan Hiki semakin membaik dengan tersampaikannya perasaan Hiki kepada Kiyoi, respon Kiyoi seperti tidak menerima atau tidak menolak, namun dia sepertinya memang bisa menerima semuanya dengan netral. Namun yang saya sangat sayangkan adalah, momen Hiki dan Kiyoi di SMA berakhir begitu saja, mungkin adegan ketauan antara Kiyoi dan Hiki harusnya menjadi salah satu scene bagus, namun sayangnya series ini tidak memiliki cerita seperti itu. Dialog dan alurnya sama seperti sebelumnya mudah difahami ya, selain itu entah kenapa aku merasa episode kali ini terasa sangat cepat, apakah scene-scenenya punya bentuk cerita yang ringan ya sehingga tidak menguras banyak energi? review selanjutnya menampilkan Hiki sudah berkuliah, saya akan melanjutkan episode selanjutnya besok.

uncomfortable

I find the story disturbing. Of course it's my personal opinion. I find Hira's personality strange. And when he met Kiyoi I can't help but think that him liking Kiyoi is leaning more towards obsession. I can't explain well. Maybe because there were not many words between them to express their feelings that made my imagination run wild hence I tend to put words into their expressions and actions. And they are more negative words than positive. The scene where Kiyoi pushed Hira is a scene I dislike very much. Letting another person whom you admire, even secretly, treat you like that is already a sign that it wouldn't be a healthy relationship. And it was this scene that made me dropped this drama. I wasn't comfortable watching it.

maybe as i AINT into S&M i can't go...…

maybe as i AINT into S&M i can't go... "oh how sweet, lovely, magical... etc" cause i didn't see any of the above. both the leads r doing my head in - and seriously the "machinegun" being added in so the only power an introvert has, to stand-up for himself is by turning psychotic?!? **************************************************************************************************************this for sure is bring out the mean side of me - cause i cheered when Kiyoi lost, same when he called Hira disgusting for confessing his love, pushing him to the ground - the only funny bit was Hira admitting to using Kiyoi photo as wank material. the rest just upped my blood pressure level. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the kiss in the end, like the kiss on the hand were hollow imitations of anything resembling love. these two r messed-up and i doubt they can have healthy relationship's - let alone they bad for each other - and bring out only destructive tendencies. so seeing them back together in the previews doesn't make me happy. yeah i know they destined to end up together - cause that's how it's written - doesn't make it ok - right! ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and anyone thinking his new friend will divert this train wreck from happening, is deluding themselves - cause if the person aint stepping all over him Hira, he doesn't know they exist.

What was THAT

I was not prepared for this episode at all. First Hira spending half the episode with a machine gone figuratively killing everyone to protect his love for Kiyoi to him admitting to having sexy fun alone times with Kiyoi's photo. We knew how Kiyoi would react to Hira's confession but the scene where he allows Hira to kiss his hand stands out in my mind for the fact that he's as affected as Kiyoi at the gesture. My shock first came with Kiyoi kissing Hira at graduation. In fact I yelled out WHAT THE FU@K loud enough for my husband to be concerned. And then all of a sudden the time skips and a whole new show is starting in this second half.
