will be in your list of comfort bls/ series. 10/10 rewatch value
japanese bls never miss to hit the spot does it. the music of the series is so cheerful you are gona hum it out of nowhere (kyuoto kyuoto kyuoto kyuoto). the story is very sweet and simple . not much drama involved , no vilanisation of any character. the side couples were also really interesting. one thing that is commendable is that all the characters in the show had a personality , non of them are flat 2D characters. the age gap might be an issue for some but come on we have seen couples with age difference irl a lot straight or gay but the point is its not our place to say what should have been done or not because their THEIR story and we are just viewers. and the whole concept was very appropriately portrayed. homophobia was not non existent either which we saw in Akira's case in the first few episodes. but its not impossible to find a bunch of good people around you like characters in this series , i myself have such good friends so i will buy that. one more thing which i liked about the series is that Shin choosing his proirities at the end regarding weather to study in local uni or in a tokyo uni, i really respect that. you dont always need to go to a big city to get your dreams and vice versa . Also throughout the series studies have been the priority of Shin and he have been motivated by everyone around him to study because thats reality, studies are important. all in all really comforting bl. you should watch it without zero percent hesitation. also i personally have been watching it weekly and i am really going to miss them . Akira san at the end of the episodes always asks to look forward to their story and in the final episode he said to keep minato shouji coin laundary in our hearts forever and i will do that bevause how good the show was . also , one more thing, the intro and outro are so good and especially the ones of the final episode , in the outro where everybody dances , really WHOLESOME.Was this review helpful to you?
FUN AND METAPHORIC AND FRESH AND INTERESTING AND INDEED MEANING FULL. 101% RECOMMEDED
If anything this drama presents in the most authentic form of love is love and the importance of self acceptance. This drama not only touches sensitive issues both which are most talked about and some that are not part of the mainstream discussions but also did a very commendable job . they talked about issues like self acceptance, homophobia, women safety and very "generalised" women issues, authenticity, young love, how its not just the person who gets rejected but also the person on the other end and LOT more. I will list my favourite takeways:-1. your feelings are your feeling , even if they are not reciprocated they are still very autonomously yours because at end of the day when you say you love that person its mostly about giving than receiving but of course you have be a true judge of the situation and measure for yourself weather or not that love is worth it . prime example is rin chan.
2. i personally was of the mindset that its the inner you that is your authentic self and never really thought of the contribution how the physical body plays an integral role in completing YOU as a person inside out.
3. we as a generation has to be more and more open minded of stuffs. as much as we like people who we relate to we have to equally accept differences.
4. a rare discussion on friendships of romantic and platonic kinds
now if i talk about characters ( im trying to write it spoiler free) EVERY character is reasonable, there is no villanisation of any one character but rather it shows and portrays reality and talks about real villains and ills of the society we live in and how we can strive to be better. just watch this show you wont regret.
also i really love how this show very subtlely represented trans people( SPOILER when the yashiro was in female body and the male washroom incident and the other guy from other school who like torri rin talking about his former love interest who became trans )and ace (the spectrum)people( just how the real yashiro talked about his love for ken), i might be wrong but as an ace i felt good .
