It gets to a point
I enjoyed the first half of the series so much I was thinking of giving this series a 9.5 or even a 10, but then the more I watched, the more annoyed I got.
I can understand or even appreciate a bit of an oblivious main lead, but it really got to a point where I would get so annoyed at Suzuki it's not even funny. He knows all of the BL tropes except for his own.
And listen, I still love him dearly, but I just really wish they shortened the series by a few episodes to cut out all of the idiotism with Suzuki trying to put 2 and 2 together. Or have the same number of episodes but use them differently. Either way, some changes would've been greatly appreciated, but oh well.
Either way, I still had fun watching this series, it isn't something new or innovative and sure has some cliches, but it is still a pretty enjoyable watch in my opinion.

Things I liked:
1. I like the plot. While being pretty similar to so many other school JBLs, it has a few aspects that are rather new, which is nice to see.
2. It's pretty funny, the humor is not cringy or annoying.
3. Friends. Nothing makes me happier in BLs than supportive friends, and Suzuki has a bunch of that now. So now I can die happy knowing that he is protected and well cared for.
4. POV switch. I love when series show the other character's POV to show how they fell in love with the main lead.
5. Didn't expect to see Mokudai Kazuto here, but it was a great surprise.
Things I disliked:
1. Main character not listening and interrupting Serizawa every time he tried to speak about his feelings.
2. The typical oblivious main character. Nothing new in these types of BLs, but I find it more annoying than usual in this series specifically.
