A hidden gem.
I am so in love with this series. What an emotional rollercoaster ride. I wasn’t expecting to be so invested in this, I literally cannot stop thinking about it.Everything to the plot to the characters and their backstories is so heartbreaking and emotional. In any other situation, I would’ve hated Ritsu, and all the characters have their flaws but the context and purpose of the show really makes you see them in a different way. The message this show presents is one of deep meaning, and it really tore me apart. I am also such a sucker for found family, and this one was one of the cutest I’ve ever seen.
I cannot recommend this enough.

Love till the End of time! ♥️
What a roller coaster of feelings! I I was crying the whole 80% of the series. Glad they had each other together till the end! ♥️Such a great storyline showing the reality issues that some or most of us had experience such
-Family issue, Relationship, Mental Health, Death, Depression, Gender and Life.
It shows the value of life and the hopes of spending the last days of our life correcting our mistakes and living the very last of it with someone we value and love.
Hoping for Season 2! I want to see if there was a miracle against the meteor or if the boy was actually gifted with power. 🙌♥️♥️🤞

A great story
This one is one of the greatest stories that I've ever watched. The story plot is very unique and intersting and I must say very delusional. I loved every bit of it because of the uniqueness that this story holds.The story had a typical starting like any other series and turn out as a great masterpiece. Even the actors did a great job with their characters. So I must say that this made me think about what will I do if the world really going to end just as this. We can go into their shoes and think what will we do if the world is going to end I've never think about my future through a series but this is the first time I compared something like this into real life.
About the music it must've been a little bit improved in some scense. So it'll deliver the correct emotions to the audiance wa more better. About the rewatch value I must say that everyone need to watch this masterpiece atleast once if you're a bl watcher. Overall this is so beautiful and I really loved it.
So what will you do if the world comes to ad end?

beautiful story
I loved this concept so much, I honestly hope that the meteorite hit because it would just make this a very well rounded drama. I love the glimpse of hope we get but I would just love if despite everything there is no way to stop the inevitable so I'll just expect them to die. The whole love story between masumi and ritsu was honestly so natural and sweet. they felt like real people who weren't good nor bad like they both had their flaws but they loved each other and that is enough. Ritsu waiting for masumi to like him again even though they only have a few days left is so beautiful to me.Was this review helpful to you?
I seriously enjoyed this BL
I don’t know why BNMNS isn’t getting more hype but this series is honestly the most fantastic Japanese BL I’ve watched so far in 2023.This is not a typical end-of-the-world story featuring cliched conflict resolution or unrealistic redemption arcs. I share the same sentiments as those who felt that Ritsu was a deeply unlikeable person who didn’t deserve Masumi’s forgiveness. But that’s not relevant to the point that BHMNS is trying to make. The end of the world doesn’t magically turn cruel family members into saints, nor does it bring closure for those mourning the dead.
People still cannot fully rid themselves of their selfish habits, even in their final days. But perhaps, miraculously, love works the best only after you get a glimpse of death.
Only with an end in sight can there be clarity to the mistakes that affect us profoundly, even if we refuse to admit it. If you could start over, what would be the first thing you would undo? That will most likely turn out to be the biggest regret of your life if you don't fix it now.
True to the apocalypse theme, this is a story about all the things that haunt you for the last time before everything goes up in flames. Loneliness and a yearning for connection. Family members you will never reconcile with. All of life’s regrets, with the knowledge that there probably won’t be enough time for redemption.

Amazing
It is not only a bl it is a fullblown psychological drama. I was not willing to watch it because of the fact that Japanese dramas are to emotional for my poor heart. However, this thing is mind and heart blowing, and I recommend it for every little sensitive heart right there. You are gonna be fine! Even though you may cry your eyes out and feel unconfortable - sometimes it is worth it and that is this time. Anyway, acting, directing, scenery, script - honestly - perfect. The only series I can compare with it is My personal wheterman and this one is better.Was this review helpful to you?
Not for everone, but a gem for those who can appreciate it.
I actually really love this series. I feel that this kind of relationship does happen in real life, and it shows us how the characters grow over time, and that actions have consenquences. It's not typical and explores a genre people nowadays are too scared to show, which i hate. It's fiction, a place where we can explore tabboo topics in a safe way. The actors did a great job.They showed hurt, betrayel, love, forgivness, crossdressing, suicide, regret, parental abuse and so much more in a direct yet sensitive manner which i appreciated.
I repeat, this is not for those that get sensitive about the media they are watching or those that can't handle a little bit of toxic love in a piece of FICTION.

it was good series
At the beggining i really liked this series. Honestly, my hopes was low, because i didnt know that there will be a chemistry between the main actors. I was totally wrong! The actor,who play the role of Ritsu is so beautiful! Yes, Ritsu was toxic man who cheated and hurt Masumi`s feelings, but at the end I once again fall in love with his character. He really love Masumi and wanted to make things better.The first two or three episodes was interesting, but when they met Yuma and Meguri, the series was boring. Not everything was clear to me, but the end was what I expected to be.
At the begginig I was sure that I will give it 10 stars, but honestly I wasnt fully impresed. Yes, im surprised that a Japanesse bl series got such a bl scenes, but the story didnt deserve a total 10 stars.

When end of the world is nigh, what would you do?
What would you do if you meet the one person you never want to see again while the world is literally coming to an end?The story is interesting and has a string of emotional moments which you would expect in a series about the end of the world. But what you also have are some amazing characters that are flawed, have a backstory that dictates their present choices and you care about them. The series revolves around these 4 characters. It’s about romance, heartbreaks, redemption, family dimensions and your choices when you are staring at your own mortality.
The story is about Masumi, a closeted gay student who meets Ritsu, a bisexual philanderer and they start a relationship which ultimately ends bitterly because of Ritsu’s nature. While all life is coming to an end in 10 days, Masumi an adult in a dead-end job meets Ritsu, a rich IT businessman again. All past anger comes brimming to the top but fate has a different plan for them. The story takes a different turn with the introduction of Yuma and Meguru. They all go on a road trip together to drop Meguru and Yuma at each of their houses before time runs out. During the subsequent episodes while they are on the road, we get to see glimpses from their past and we realise this trip is now to reconcile with their past actions and make peace with the consequences.
The series portrays a connection that all the characters have with Ritsu and the relationship that develops between them as they face situations arising from an imminent catastrophe. Amongst all of them the most intriguing character is Yuma. The series remains vague about who he really is and this mystery just adds to the flavour. It leaves a lot to your imagination and keeps you guessing till the very end.
This was highly entertaining with great acting from all the cast portraying some difficult and complicated characters with much conviction. The series also did not shy away from some steamy scenes between the two main leads and it doesn’t appear misplaced in the storyline instead enhances it by showing us the kind of relationship Ritsu and Masumi shared.
In conclusion, give this one a try because of a different take on the end of the world storyline, the emotions of the characters and the mystery behind Yuma.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
This show completely surprised me. Not only in the acting department, but in the NC department as well. I think this story was well crafted and executed and it makes you go through a journey of emotions. The way Ritsu is painted during he first part of the series is terrible, and I found myself really hoping Masumi never got back together with him {even if the world was ending}. But as we go along for their journey towards the end, things come to light and we have to rethink the past. Also, I really enjoyed the unexpected {at least to me} supernatural-ish touch we got in this series. Overall, this was an enjoyable watch and I would recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Watch it, if you want to be heartbroken
You ever been heartbroken? Watch this BL if you want to reminisce. Cry to your hearts content. One gets his heart broken the oder one is a fuckboy. By the time the world comes to an end, and they meet again, only to remember their hurtfull past. This drama is well made and the main actors are pretty good!I watched this drama now the third time. Sometimes we want to feel heartbroken! ;-)

A beautiful story about romance and the importance of living
I feel like i have no words today describe this drama. I came on thinking it will be a tragic story or just a cliche thing. I really like complex characters that are obviously flawed even though we know they have good hearts and that was Ritsu for me and I definitely empathize with him a lot. His feelings are real but he is a self sabotaging mess that has ruined everything he knew was good, seemingly had everything but what was most importang to him, he did not have till too late.I really loved the aide characters too Yuma and Megumu, the mystery of their pasts and powers and their stories. I do wish they delved deeper into Yuma but we got what we got.
Anyway a beautiful work of art, honestly nobody does dramas like Japan all compounded into 8 or 10 episodes. I wish more bls will look to them and give us a good story and plot as well. there is so much more to say and be curious of but i'l take this and enjoy it.
