perfect comfort show with enough fluff and cuteness
This BL (with many others) had the luck of coming out to the exact right time. 2020 was an exhausting year for many people for some more than others and a teeth-rotting fluffy show was exactly what many needed and still do now. The story is very sweet and even though the worldbuilding isn't as in-depth as it could be, it's not something you would expect from it anyway. It never promises to explain to you where the magical gift is coming from and so, it's not disappointing when you don't get an answer to that.
This is a character-driven story that relies heavily on its characters. The characters have so much depth and likeability that it's almost impossible to not fall in love with all of them. This show handles the whole "being able to read other people's most private thoughts" subject pretty well (IMO). Adachi is a great protagonist and even though he's more passive, it's not boring or frustrating to watch. With Ajaso Eiji and Machida Keita, this show got great actors on its hand (especially Machida who is able to pull off totally opposite roles).
There is some over-the-top acting in this BL and it's used in a stylistic way. I didn't mind it for the most part, but there were two particular scenes involving the side couple that made me actually cringe and fast forward. But other than that, it's very cute and fun.
However, if an on-screen kiss is important to you, you may find yourself a little bit disappointed (only with the main couple though). This is not a bromance, it's very clearly a romance, even without an explicit on-screen display of affection, like kissing.
