I also read the manga simultaneously but I feel, not all pages are available and it's confusing. I agree that OFC had more scope. No regrets watching them :). The thing about manga is at times it's too wild and they need to make it soft for screens :)

I’m so relieved Tojo finally realized how serious Keishi is about their relationship. That moment after the hug and kiss—when Keishi went quiet, completely overwhelmed—said everything. Keishi shouldn’t always be the one giving. I hope Tojo steps up now, holds his hand, and makes him feel truly cherished. Keishi deserves all the happiness in this world.

I get that Tojo is an introvert—scared and hesitant—but he’s already halfway through his ‘bucket list.’ Now, it’s time to show Keishi that what they have goes beyond some checklist… that they truly belong together. Next time Keishi reaches for him, I hope Tojo doesn’t just freeze—I hope he holds on tight and proves he wants this just as much. Let it be a mutual hug:)

I have low expectations with Japanese BL, but I still hoped he’d at least brush Tojo hair back and kiss his forehead. Seems this is also too much to ask :(

I am loving it because they are not ending this in 5 episodes like OFC. Offcourse I love OFC but I wanted one special episode showing there happy ever after, that CD episode also was very small:(.

Yes, that was a very calculative move. Going home uninvited and cooking :). As we met his sister's that week. Did they push him to cook on the same day ??
Yes, I'd love to see Keishi's point of view. While he comes across as cool and composed, I imagine him grappling internally, doing research, or finding ways to fill his time before these dates. Cherry Magic, effectively portrayed both characters' inner worlds and I enjoyed all his imaginations and struggles. The other one just one scene was old fashion cup cake. particularly in that timeless zoo scene invite - highlighting their shared anticipation. Too often, the giver's feelings are overlooked or simply not shown.

Seems all our brains are working in same direction. we are more interested to ensure Keishi journey is smooth. My interpretation was, due to his past experience now he is scared to move fast and worry about others feeling than his own. Though he is a former athelete, he assumed that throwing the ball at a super speed may hurt the child. If you see after the kid telling try harder, he was changing the ball throwing position!

Agreed. Tojo actually looks like that plushie.

I don't don't is it the age or office romance whatever it is, I am so far loving it. The surprise elements like the volley ball senior, the makeup artist influencers and last week twin sisters make things more interesting.

Oh, absolutely! That's such a neat detail – I totally agree! It makes perfect sense that the sparrow (the bird Tojo resembles) was the one to chase off the crow threatening Keishi's lunch. What a clever little parallel in the story! Hehe, love that connection!

Agreed. We often assume attractive, successful people find love easily. Yet everyone's journey is uniquely bittersweet. Sometimes, taking things slow isn't just desirable – it's essential

You tried to find it, that's wonderful

Thank you so much. I loved this and you really inspired me to write my points.

1. He hinted in the first episode itself that he is serious about this. By stating he wants to be Tojo's partner so he made an additional 10th point in that list, Also hinting he can't celebrate birthday alone.
2. He knew that Tojo was touching his finger after eating dinner but he didn't proceed further because he knew Tojo will be overwhelmed with those instant hand holdings or any display of affections.
3. He didn't kiss Tojo on that rainy day knowing that he might be misunderstood later, and they are not there yet.
4. . He knew that it would be hard for him to place insane customized drinks as he noticed that Tojo feels he is old and can't order stuff in trend or viral, like he saw on aquarium day with that drink. So he decided whipped cream.
5. His sister says he is highly misunderstood. In this relationship he is working on this, he clearly spoke about his senior crush and assured Tojo he was never his boyfriend.
6. He is ensuring that Tojo is super comfortable and he is taking things slow let it be texting which we saw after customized ice cream, delaying hand holding and not pushing him to be a partner or lover.
7. He shared everything with sisters to make Tojo understand how serious he is about this. Also a perfect shopping place where he will not get whelmed with people or selling staff.
8. He is constantly showing him that he admired Tojo and was expressive letting it be giving sparrow ice cream, noticing his sweet tooth, helping with his clothes or helping with the kind of food or drink he may like.

Keishi is very understanding, caring, super careful as he wants to be with his man and happy.

Hopefully we get to know all those :)

Agreed. Me too felt same. But I also wish they should show us how Keishi is feeling when he is getting ready for these dates ? I admire his liking being so gentle and warm

Yup cuteness overloaded. Waiting every Saturday :(

Agreed discussing age was important and Keishi is too nice and understanding to be honest. It's like a deeper version of old cup cake . I am looking forward to understand both characters. It's my comfort now.
