Took me less than a day to watch it and honestly the best japanese so far. I don’t really like japanese series (except animes) because actors tend to ´overact’.

It’s not really romance, more about making friends, enjoying youth and overcoming a one sided love.
It depicts both straight characters and queer characters (minami having a crush on chika, ryo having a crush on hikaru his bff and I lowkey feels like hikaru was starting to realize he actually had feelings for ryo).
The series might look light-hearted at the three first episodes (spent looking for hikaru’s crush and then getting to know her) but then it deals with facing one sided love, rejection and later on after minami’s first love is revealed to be a woman, the series tackles more in depth about how hard it’s to be queer (it was already there with ryo questionning whether to keep his feelings hidden or not).
The line of takashi saying ´it can’t be that kind of liking because we are both girls’ was so painful go watch considering she later explained she loved her back.

The last episode got me bawling my eyes out.

now the character :
- at the beginning I thought minami was being quite creepy when I realized quickly she was just being curious. plus she is so cute and genuinely caring, paying attention to others ans she even kept her feelings for chika for herself and helped her out as far as she could to overcome the rejection. Definetely one of my fav character and she even rejected properly and politely hikaru !

- Ryo and hikaru were so cute as well as their friendship. they really take the time to share if they think an issue between them needs tk be fixed. The only problem of the series would be that ryo’s confession tbh wasn’t explicit. It took me a while at the end to realize he actually expressed his feelings cuz they went from talking abt hikaru’s rejection to talking abt being friends better than having a romantic relationship ?

The cast/acting/ OSTs were just LIT af omg

Btw I’m confused hikaru rejected ryo right ?
