Depth of Field

Watching this, I was reminded of how Hira was in love with Kiyoi especially considering how Konno and him are both into photography

Both are related photography and (SPOILER ALERT!!!) in both series the main leads spend some time apart

This series so far reminds me a little of this other series. It's a shame that the actor is allegedly (still on trial) a r@pist, ruined the series for me. but at least new series are coming out and they seem promising like this one.

JBLs centered around gay characters with past traumas, who have given up on the idea of seriously loving anyone. Then they meet carefree classmates their age who helps them heal and grow. Both are short mini-series focused on gay romance set against the seaside. Visually arresting cinematography, impactful acting, and strong soundtracks/osts.

"No matter how much time we spend together, I'll never become special to you."
Childhood best friends. Two halves of a whole. The cool, smart one who's good at almost everything, and his average, dorky friend who struggles to do anything right-Yamato and Kakeru. Always by the other's side, but not together in the way they truly want to be. No matter how hard they try, their hearts cannot reach each other...
