I actually really love "Hidamari ga Kikoeru" and that drama left me feeling satisfied even without a proper kiss scene because I knew it was supposed to focus on how the relationship will bloom despite disabilities and challenges.

So I'm disappointed with how "Futtara Doshaburi" sexually teased us yet wasn't able deliver. I wish I didn't expect too much. Maybe I should just order the book and translate it myself like you did. So I can picture the "wild nights" (not just one) that you mentioned :'D

But I still appreciate the show. Even the transitions and camera angles were perfect. Hagiwara looked so handsome. And his kindness and loyalty as you mentioned really moved the hearts of Sei and Kaori (and mine). He even respected his first-time partner by not divulging information.

Hagiwara got what he wished for in the first episode regarding Kaori becoming jealous and checking his phone. Little did Kaori know that the "man" she didn't worry about would be her undoing, while treating Hagiwara as a pet instead of a man/lover.

In the end, I'm just glad how this drama showed the two leads turning from strangers to friends then to lovers, being each other's shelter in the midst of the storms (literally and figuratively).

Thank you for sharing these keen observations! Would you be able to share where you read the novel?

For a drama that kept talking about sex, I felt unsatisfied with the sex scenes. Maybe I just got spoiled by how "Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu" showed sexual thirst and consummation. Also, I heard that the novel detailed the sex scenes quite well. And the show kept promoting how sex is a good thing, so my expectations weren't met. But I enjoyed the rest of the show, like the cinematography, music, acting (even down to the subtle facial/vocal expressions). It's now one of my faves, even if it feels rushed and squeezed into 7 episodes. Now I feel sexually frustrated like the characters lol!

Same! I had been waiting for two months and finally finished it today! Worth the wait! 10/10

Happy birthday, babe! Saranghae <3

Hot!

Setting aside my hatred toward Eiji and Mei, this film is actually well done. Intriguing story, beautiful cinematography, catchy music; even the silent parts and credits scenes were worth watching. I hope that someday I can be strong enough like Makki, to move forward and forgive the old friends who betrayed me.

Is there a tag for cheating? Because Eiji and Mei obviously kept doing "it" behind Makki's back. She was pregnant for 8 weeks instead of 13. There's a special place in hell for cheaters.

I hope the ending showed how Makki finally has a car and is happy with Asato. But they totally wrecked him. Eiji and Mei deserve worse than what they got.

Happy birthday, baby boy! Love you!

Not "Sweet" ending

The opposite of "Happy End" for all main characters

Mine! Too cute!

He gives good kisses in his dramas!

"secretly wanted" lol me too. But I realized it's not that kind of show. It's a slice-of-life, slow-paced, and wholesome drama, and that's good. So from the very start, I've tried to keep my expectations low. But still.. haha. Season 2 please!

I'm currently listening to the ending song and I can't help but cry. Just like Kohei and Taichi who were crying because of the impending separation in episode 11. This heartwarming story has been my go-to safe place every week for 12 weeks. I need to brace myself for the finale. I need to be strong and take all the lessons I've learned from them as I live my life in the real world. To all the writers, actors, director, producers, etc., thank you so much. I've never been this invested and affected by a drama before. Perhaps I can read the manga after watching the drama or find a new one to watch. But for now, I'm letting my feelings flow as my tears fall. Thank you so much, Taichi and Kohei, and goodbye. :'(

I feel like I've already watched everything through the 3-minute trailer lol

He has this new series of shorts on YouTube, but there's not much information about it. The first 3 episodes were nice. I hope I can watch the complete story. Please reply to my comment if you have more information about it. Thanks.

While some people are commenting that they don't like the childlike behavior of the characters, let's not forget that this is based on manga like most anime. Though I've enjoyed other J-dramas/BLs that show more serious characters, the exaggerated expressions in this drama have been making a positive effect on me. I'm learning to be more grateful about life, especially when I'm listening to music and eating good food. I keep remembering these characters throughout the week. They keep warming my stone-cold heart, and it's healing me. I admire Taichi for being pure, innocent, expressive, appreciative, caring, helpful, bright, and jolly. I want to be like that.

I like how Kohei looks so happy when he talks about Taichi. And when Maya made Kohei feel worried about Taichi leaving him, Taichi was actually discovering how his own path in life can coincide with Kohei's. Even when they were apart, they kept thinking about each other. "Taichi would be mad if he was here," Kohei said. Although he wasn't there, Taichi was still standing up for Kohei in front of the company president. This genuine care for disabled people reminded the boss of why he started the company in the first place. There should be a "healing" tag in this drama because that's what it's doing to my heart as I watch it. <3
