⤷ Favorite Japanese BL of 2025!

The cinematography is among the finest I have encountered in a JBL; it captivated me right from the start. I am completely enamored with the ending OST, which has become one of my favorite tracks to listen to on Spotify this year.
The chemistry between Kazuaki and Sei may not resonate with everyone, but I found it to be quite intense. Their attraction isn't overtly flashy; rather, it is conveyed through their conversations and the unique love language they share, which truly resonated with me. The emails exchanged between them left me speechless; if they can express such deep emotions through email, I can only imagine how their discussions will evolve as they grow more comfortable communicating verbally in their relationship.
I adore the theme of rain in this narrative, as it encapsulates both emotional depth and romance. Speaking of romantic relationships, the character writing in this series was profoundly impactful. I genuinely appreciated the dialogues that unfolded, which revolved around themes of sexual desire, obsession, fear of loss, and communication barriers. I am particularly drawn to stories that evoke such powerful emotions.
While I acknowledge that the topic of infidelity is part of the discussion, I want to clarify: our two main characters were trapped in loveless relationships, being taken advantage of by their partners, and so they truly deserve happiness.

The symbolism in the art gallery was truly breathtaking.
