So cute and fluffy
Jan. 6, 2025THIS IS SO CUTE AND FLUFFY. I love this Japanese BL, it is so simple yet it is so charming. There is something about the cast, the execution of the scenes that really carried out how to special this show to me.
The chemistry between the leads are off the charts, and it has attained such cuteness and fluff that I am not irked by it! Rather I am more hooked on as I move on the next episodes. It feels like I have found such show that has been kind of not as common recently.
This is one of those shows that I will definitely rewatch over and over again. I feel like I am such a child being amused with such joy. I am so happy to start of the year with this BL. I will definitely be putting this as those S-tier drama.

I Loved It
This was the most classic, pitch perfect, high school BL we’ve gotten since I Cannot Reach You. About a sophomore boy separated from his geeky friends adopted by a quad of popular boys one of whom has a mad crush on him. Some how exactly that simple but also so much deeper and more special. This was charming and sweet and pining and everything I want in a BL including first love spilling over into awkwardness, glorious friendship groups, and bonus elder gay rep.Was this review helpful to you?
Hioki and Watarai, joining the list of most notable J-BL characters
I love everything about this show! This is super duper cute, and the whole ten episodes consistently feel so great. Even before airing, based on the promotion and teasers, I knew that this would be another J-BL masterpiece. They didn’t disappoint. I’ve already fallen in love since the beginning. The chemistry is top-notch!Taking inspiration from a popular “F4 concept,” focusing on BL without the touch of any form of bullying. It leads to my whole watching experience to be calm and touching. Watarai’s romantic scenes were so smooth, and I love a green flag man. Hioki, on the other hand, is the epitome of cuteness. Everything he does spells C.U.T.E. My baby is surrounded by love, and I am so proud of him.
One of the most beautiful plots from this drama is how Hioki found his people from his new class. He started being an introvert with no classmates as friends to hang out with, but thanks to the school trip, he met the four heavenly kings, who then became his squad afterwards. I remembered how exciting the scene of Hioki and Watarai sharing a bed in the hotel was.
Hioki’s inner dialogue is always so entertaining. His small panics when Watarai are directing to show him his love were so funny. The confession scene at the beach was also one of my favourites. Isn’t it just so romantic to open up your feelings with the soothing breeze of sea air?
Then, Watarai hugging Hioki behind the gymnasium curtains was also a highlight. They have so many scenes that are unforgettable and have created an impact on the viewers. And that kiss at the finale? Oh well, they served pretty well. Love it so much!
The overall feelings are so positive, and it is obvious that I enjoyed the series so much. There’s not too much drama involved here, just two young men who are slowly falling in love with one another. A school series done right, and they made it even more special for BL-fans.
Hioki and Watarai, you’ll always be special characters in my heart. I love you both!

Loved the Anticipation of their Relationship
This was probably one of my favorite JBL's this year. I haven't seen them all, so I'm sure there are more. I always love an underdog story, where the unexpected happens that enriches a shy unassuming character. Feels like a JBL Boys Over Flowers type story. The popular handsome 4 take him in but little does Hioki know someone has been watching him for some time. The growth of the friendship with Watarai is beautiful to watch. As time goes by they both grow in their confidence. You won't be disappointed with the ending. Feel good seriesWas this review helpful to you?

THE CUTEST AND FLUFFIEST BL OF 2025
I was waiting for this to finish so I can binge watch this and ugh 😩♥️ The most heartwarming fluffiest BL ever 😭 Hioki is my absolute pookie and Watarai I can wholeheartedly understand why you fell for him 😭 He's a bunny in human form and I stand by it. I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS. The funniest part was "The Four Heavenly Kings" never having spoken to one another? 😂 And Hioki's internal monologue killed me. And this relationship was such a healthy one like y'all even adults hardly ever have such healthy relationships with communication and all. Honestly Hioki and Watarai are goals 🥺♥️ I was giggling and kicking my feet in the air the majority of the time while watching this cause it was so sweet. I want more 😭Was this review helpful to you?

Heartfelt friendship and heartwarming love
I started this series with no expectations and ended up loving it without restriction. From the actors to the story to the music - I loved everything.What I adore about this series is that there was so much love for the details - like the opening scene where you only know what it refers to: the scene where Watarai's and Hioki's eyes meet for the first time without knowing anything about each other, but it is the start for the whole relationship.
And how much love were put into the supporting characters! From Watarai's friends to Hioki's friends and even to Morisakis brother Ryoto. All so lovable where one wants a story for each of them. Simply great cast and acting from all of them!
And yes, the storyline is all about clichés (school trip, amusment park, going to the beach, autumn festival ect.) , but very well done!
All in all, a fantastic, heartwarming, fluffy series that I want to watch over and over again!

An unexpected breath of fresh air
Ngl i was kinda skipping this drama cz of the cover photo and summary. Seemed cliché and i felt it'd be boring but then i saw some edits on watarai's unrequited love to hioki and was like let's give it a go... haa it was beautiful ❤️ just too beautiful. It's a really simple story, no major plot twists or surprises but it kinda made my heart feel warm and conforted when i watched it. It kinda made me wanna fall in love. Kinda tells us love doesn't need to be grand just simple is enough. Even the drama it's soft and sweet and everything nice like a warm coffee on a cold dayWas this review helpful to you?
Adorable!
Super charming and sweet story. It may be cliche but the actors make this worth watching. This will be my go to when I want an escape from negativity.I am hoping there is a second season to see relationships develop more. Hioki is so lovable you just want to put him in your pocket. He is that character that allows his insecurities to be seen but is also embarrassed by them. He overthinks everything.

BUTTERFLIES IN STOMACH
The plot isn't deep yet hits your eyeballs to drip tears of happiness. It's partly because we all have that insecurity that we aren't the part of cool kids gang. This series gives that personality a chance, to get in the world of popular kids and feel him worthy and every drip of equal happiness that makes him feel "special" . A not so popular kid, when taken into group of heavenly handsome boys' gang who are popular, handsome, attractive and eye catchers; it gives him happiness, love, friendships and most importantly memories. Pleasant memories of high school life. School BLs often brings nostalgia of innocent love and this series brings exactly that but also long lasting smile for all that 23 minutes it airs.Music from Dxteens hits hard, brings out emotions and excitement. Everyone got their own taste but for me, it's officially my favorite series and for you, even if high school romance isn't your taste, I bet you won't regret watching it and have the fluff, innocence, blast of serotonin inside your body.
Kan Hideyoshi and Kodai Fujimoto both are amazing actors. I hope they bring us season 2 because according to the novel, there's so much more to show in upcoming parts of their life.
