/So it's important to add that I found only the first volume of the manga translated online.

The bad news: The manga is not very good. It's not that well drawn, I'm often confused what emotion the person is feeling based on the drawn expressions. The plot is not that well written, like it's not paced that well, the core idea is good though, it has potential. /Again, this is only based on the first volume, but a lot of that content were put into the drama.

The good news: The drama is really damn good especially compared to the original work! Like damn, I super wanna praise the people working on this, they put soul into it, that the original work was missing in my opinion. You can tell a lot of extra details were added, the camerawork is stunning, I love a lot of music choices too, and how they arranged together the good parts of the manga. Like wow, honestly surpising how much extra they could produce from the manga that really didn't offer much and fell flat. The drama has a lot of heart and I appriciate now even more that I see how a lot of it was added by the people working on this adaptation, like super congrats to them for their great work!

The problems I had:
- I'm not a fan of big age gaps, here it wasn't that bad, buuuut the teacher-student relationship is still kinda a risky take, like a few times Sahara did give me some creepy groomer vibes, very rarely though.
- There is a dumb time skip at the end of the drama, which is pretty lazy, but I kinda understand the purpose of it.
- The end kiss was reaaaaaaalllllyyyyy weak, ah probably the worst kiss I've seen in a BL TTuTT, I think that was the director's fault, really should have done a retake or cut it out...

BUT
Overall it is a super cute delinquent-to-good-guy-through-love story. And I recommend it! <3
