I don’t know….love sea was too fast for me. I have been wanting something that is a slow burn were the characters…
I hear you. Don’t get me wrong. I love this pair of actors, I just have high expectations and I’ve been finding it slow. Love in the Air is my top 10 BL because of Boss and Noeul.
A SLOW start to this series. It’s hard not to compare Love in the Air or Love Sea which had a hotter start for the main couple. I am hoping it will improve, but it’s never good when I find my self watching at 2.5 speed. I can’t remember when the lat time that was for a MAME project.
The main couple is definitely lovely to look at. It’s so far a story that is not really going anywhere. I find this is the type of series you are just fine with watching. I will give it three stars for the massage scene in episode 1. Onward!
I believe that I read somewhere that gay union is officially recognized in some districts of Japan, too. At least…
Sadly there are only 37 countries where same-sex marriages are legal and Japan is not one of them. (Source: https://www.hrc.org/resources/marriage-equality-around-the-world) Yes the true treasure is the ability to love who who want in your own country and have the same rights and freedoms. Until then the fight continues.
Hands down the best BL of 2024 (even though it finished in early 2025). The love and longing these two characters had for one another was so well scripted and performed. The injustice you feel that they can’t share their love with others. To be accepted for who they are. There is a concept of “bearing witness” in religions like Buddhism. Witnesses give meaning to one’s life because of the witnesses’ willingness to become intimate with another's experience. These two lovers are missing the witnessing of their love through marriage. It’s truly heartbreaking.
I can’t stand hirukawa’s mother. She’s so neglectful of him, how can you call yourself a mother if you have…
You are absolutely correct. Neglect is a central theme of this series. It doesn’t matter if you come from wealth or poverty, the impact is the same. It’s what bonds Hirukawa and Minsase together.
I adore Hirukawa, but my god... that boy really needs to work out some stuff. All the neglect, rejection and fearing…
He is deeply broken from abuse and neglect. His reality is skewed. He looks at everything from a fractured perspective. He longs for love & normalcy but lives on the edge of a knife. I do not fault his character.
Episode 6 is a heartbreaker. It lifts you up with Minase and Hirukawa consummating their relationship only to see it falling apart by the end of the episode. The story arc conflict is right in the middle, so here’s hoping it will be resolved. I am not certain I can take any more scenes of Hirukawa getting beaten up by his so-called father. Domestic violence is hard to watch.
