Contrary to everyone else, I'm still enjoying this show! I enjoy romcom harem manga that are 300+ chapters, so perhaps that is why I still love this show. I can watch these two run in circles for YEARS and not get tired of it.
Sure, Minato is an idiot. But he's not entirely fictional. When you're scared of being comfortable and happy, you run away from it. And Shin loves him despite all of his flaws, the angel that he is. I think if Shin just cried in front of Minato, it would knock some sense into him (although itseems he is getting the sense knocked into him in episode 5). But Shin acts older than he is (so he keeps himself from crying.. but you can tell from his eyes), and Minato, vice versa. Shin wants nothing more than to be seen as someone strong enough to take care of the boy he loves. And Minato, godforsake him, struggles in saying what he actually wants. So it comes out brash, like how he presented himself in high school.
On another note, Asuka is so fucking cute and I want to squeeze him to death.
I seriously love this show with my entire heart, and I don't care what anyone else says. And of course Akira annoys me sometimes, but it's because I would probably react the same way as he does... when you've gone so long without any form of affection, and praying for it, no matter how much you want it, it's scary. Your body reacts before anything else... plus he's a tsundere.
A BL store making a BL story with the central setting being their store as a promotion... as well as what I assume is half the cast being the actual employees? Props to them tbh. The advertising worked on me.
The tonal shift from the first cour to the second was like getting hit by a car (no pun intended). The lighting, the cinematography. Everything about it changed. It hit you in the face suddenly, and it was great. I just really wish they didn't return to the corny structure 10 minutes to the end. If only, if ONLY they stayed with the utter despair (possibly a single ray of hope) the entire way to the end... this movie could have pulled off meaning something.

Loved the dialogue, the next episode feels an eternity away already.
