A school BL which is not stupid or superficial...
This is a sensible series about self discovery and jumping over each others shadow, with a lot a emotional baggage and finding together in the end.
What makes this series special is we have a clear gay guy from the start and one with a dark past, but also someone who does have a sexual relationsship with the friend of his brother. Of course that's not an ideal solution, they have been "forced" together not because of love but to cope with their their world. The older one loves his brother without a chance of having a relationsship and the younger boy was bullied because of this feelings for another boy. Both compensate with sex to overcome their loneliness.
Kanata enters Akiras world in an unexpected way and that begins to heal Akiras broken heart but also induces the fear his past will repeat itself. Akira has a to overcome his baggage and Kanata has to face his unexpected feelings. After many struggles both decided in the end to stop running away and face each other.
While not perfect the direction was a very sensible one, showing the struggles of both characters. But the end could have been better with a bit more punch and as so often we don't get a real kiss. Both ML struggled a bit with their performances but it was not really a deal-breaker. Production quality was also nothing I can complain about. Everything was put into frame with a deliberate focus. Overall I enjoyed this mature approach compared to all the thai crap (Duang with You for example) so much more. So yes, I would recommand all of you to watch this!
