Three pecks on the lips in a Japanese BL is crazy?! I never thought I would see the day. Granted, all kisses were staler than an opened pack of 8-week-old airplane almonds.
The acting is brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed how animated his expressions are and the drama he brings to everyday situations. The tears for his brother, the overthinking invitations to hang out, the accidental aiding of a Kikuchi getting bullied, and all to avoid being the recipient of a love confession; amazing. Mob smelling people to try and find Mr. Right was pure comedy! Eating the chocolate making him realize all he'll lose in his fear of gaining, 10/10.
This BL is bursting with tropes, as it should be, and one of my all-time favourites is interlacing fingers for the first time! I'm sorry, but there is a level of tender affection delivered in the small moments that simply can't be replaced by the big confession scenes or passionate make-out clips. God, I had forgotten how cringe some tropes are! The kiss to "wipe" off food from someone's lips, I can't do it! The second-hand embarrassment is real.
I like the sentiment that everyone is the main character of their story; you can't be the 'mob' if you fight to be invisible. Besides, even if you are a background actor, someone will still find you irresistible. Also, the irony of the main character being called Mob isn't lost on me ><.
