Shido Academy High School, a secluded all-boys boarding school built on a mountainside. Second-year student Hayama Takumi becomes roommates with Saki Giichi, nicknamed Gii, drawing jealous and hostile stares from other students. In reality, Takumi and Gii are secretly lovers. While Takumi feels happiness, deep inside, he can’t shake the fear that “if I reveal everything about myself, he might come to hate me.” Gii, meanwhile, struggles with the pain of being so close yet unable to openly touch him, gradually losing sight of Takumi’s true feelings. Matters worsen when a persistent third-year, Nozaki, begins pressing in on Takumi, fueling Gii’s jealousy and frustration. Within Shido Academy, many emotions quietly intertwine. Yoshizawa Michio, who shares a room with Takabayashi Izumi, the school’s Madonna-like figure, hides unspoken feelings for him. First-year Shigyoji Kanemitsu is deeply drawn to senior Misuzu Arata, whom he met during the entrance exam, though he is constantly met with coldness. And Akaike Shozo, a friend of Takumi and Gii, finds himself the quiet recipient of affections from upperclassman Shibata Shun… (Source: Japanese = culture-pub.jp || Translation = kisskh) ~~ Adapted from the novel series "Takumi-kun Series" (タクミくんシリーズ) by Gotoh Shinobu (ごとうしのぶ ).

Reviews
1I shouldn't have to do homework to understand a show
This is a very confused series. Taking multiple movie's worth of story and condensing it down to six episodes was a fool's task. I have read the comments of, "if you watch the movies it makes sense," but a retelling needs to stand on it's own without knowing the source content..
guys hurting each other
Overall: the writers needed to narrow the scope and make the protagonists more likable. Based on the book series "Takumi-kun Series" by Gotoh Shinobu (1992-2014) which I haven't read and the review is of this series only. 6 episodes about 25 minutes each aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5814/takumi-kun-series-drama-2025 (not available in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan or Korea).Content Warning: dub/non con touching/kiss, sexual assault turned consensual, trauma, hit/punch/violence, blood, slaps, past: incest, molestation/sexual assault, rape?, death)
What I Liked
- visuals
- a straightforward rejection in episode 5
- good production value
Room For Improvement
- there were way too many characters introduced (and I've seen the older movies), I couldn't tell who the characters were, their relationships to each other, who loved who until several episodes in, multiple exposition dumps
- did not like any of the couples, the main couple had a guy say this to his sleeping boyfriend: "How can I move forward? Don't wake up. You say no with you mouth, I see, I'm done waiting" and sexually assaulted his boyfriend in order to cure him (by the way freeze and acquiesce are also sexual assault responses that the brain might make on its own) , another guy slapped his love interest who innocently asked about a past crush and the 3rd couple had one guy as a cold jerk
- recent flashbacks and farther back flashbacks added to the confusion (seemed as if they both expected people to know what was going on and also didn't think people would know what was going on)
- telling another person that they need to be responsible for his feelings, everyone is responsible for their own feelings
- poor communication trope
