Cute JBL- started off really well!

That whole 'I realised I love you only when I saw you leave'-trope - never gets old I guess 🥰

BL-needle Score: 7.5. Reasonably high BL-ness

I really liked the first episode. Has a simple story line and the execution doesn't feel over the top or comic-ish, which is the case for many cute JBLs these days. Wataru realises his attraction to Minato only when he leaves for another town for his job after having lived together for 5 years.

The way Wataru keeps repeating 'Tomodachi'(just friends) while running to meet him when Minato returns to town exactly on the 10th anniversary of their first meeting, was so awwwwww. And Minato has such deep eyes and stares with such meaning at Wataru that you can't but melt.

The only thing that felt off is that for a friend who is that close, Wataru should have been dropping Minato off at the airport when he was going off, and not said bye outside their apartment.

I love the pent-up longing and the delish tension of unspoken words and desire between them

Definitely looking forward to the next episodes...:)
