Japan is totally delivering the BLs right now. I love the diversity of the series. This one in particular. The last episode totally got me. Who knew making someone gag could be erotic.
As my current favourite Japanese series The Journey to Killing You comes to a close which is darkness but oh so good, this is the perfect series to bring back the light. Beautiful young men, hot springs, pillow fights. YES 👏😱
It’s not tagged as BL but Gay Romance and I would say that fits more. I love this series. Dark, redemptive and beautiful at the same time. It is not fluffy, but rewarding.
I find this series completely entrancing. I can’t point to one thing which makes it stand out for me, but I am sucked into every episode and deeply committed to Odajima‘s and Kataoka‘s relationship. Knowing they are yakuza, I expect heartbreak, but I am still hopeful. Both have such emptiness that the other fills.
