Glances into the Heart
This series had a great start and met all my BL expectations. Japan is known for capturing the hearts of viewers with unique storytelling techniques and atmospheric settings within the BL genre.
After watching the first episode, I must say Minato and Wataru’s friendship won me over. They are open and comfortable with each other, which is rare to find; often, people engage in friendships only to benefit or obtain something for themselves.
In a key scene, we see Wataru adoring a picture on the wall and reading the caption, "Minato," before the man himself appears. Minato is known to be an introvert who barely talks. Even when Wataru requested to see his other work, Minato remained silent and turned away quickly, which was quite shocking. However, he eventually did as requested—without ever saying he agreed—by showing up later with his portfolio, which served as his silent confirmation.
When Minato was leaving for Hokkaido for work, Wataru felt sad and lonely, as they had been best friends since high school. Even though Minato couldn't find the words, he hugged Wataru and looked him in the eyes; it felt as if they were about to kiss. Their expressions in that scene were incredibly loving. It was there that their love story silently began—not with an echo, but through simple, expressive glances.
