i wonder if tteotm popularity can convince those in charge to finally free immortality and let it air? it does feel like now is the perfect momentum 😭

ECOTVsubs picked it up, check their site :

thanks for the info. i looked again and it doesn't seem to be subs for it yet but your comment gives me hope, at least they exist out there 😅

I recently finished the anime and it was lovely. From what I've seen in the first episode, this adaptation is following it really closely. The individual introductions are unavoidable and it might feel awkward at first but it gets better once the characters properly meet and they start hanging out together

same here, i don't hate it either but exploring the aro/ace option would be nice too

thank you for the support heheh i was half joking as i know some people are very attached to romance and god forbid you say a character simply might not be interested in it like joon here. aroace people rarely, if ever, get acknowledged and while i'm not holding much hope for dramas to go there, it would still be nice to have it here as joon is very well portrayed

are we allowed to headcanon joon as somewhere on the aroace spectrum? i can't help seeing him as such and the last episode is the most relatable i've ever felt, how he says it's uncomfortable and how forcing himself into romantic situations just suffocates him (it feels even worse when there's a risk of losing a friend you truly love but just not like that) and when he says "i'm weird", it all just hit close to home as they're things i've felt and said to myself and still do

sorry this made me laugh but it's true we are never recovering from more than words

Is it the young shrine priest?

If this ever gets subbed, please tell me in a reply, even if it's years later. I'd be thankful 🙏

Agreed. Ritsu's amnesia is suspiciously too selective already and after this trip, this many coincidences of history repeating itself is also getting suspicious.

They were roommates! And there was one bed! 😅

Of all the things I'm currently watching, this is the one I'm looking forward to the most. I can't wait for the new episode.

My God, Hira is so frustrating. Kiyoi putting up with him is the reason I know he's really in love. Tiny tiny steps but things finally started to improve by the end. I hope the movie will show more of Hira's growth that's been non existent so far, and that Kiyoi won't be the only one stuck doing all the emotional work in their relationship.

I agree with everything you said, especially about Hira not showing any growth at all. Those were exactly my thoughts and while I still like them that part bothered me. Even by this second season's end, it's once again Kiyoi the one with character development, he is softer and gentler, he is more open and he knows not to expect Hira to pick up on his cues and hints. I was like "finally!" lol but I'm afraid he's the one who will do most of the emotional work in their relationship and that makes me kinda sad for him >.<

If Ritsu recovered his memories and decided to play along and keep the lie then I believe it will be easier for them to make up. Despite resorting to deceitful ways, I think they can both understand and forgive each other as it's clear they want the same thing that is to go back and start anew. But if Ritsu really doesn't remember and the moment he does, he will confront Fumiya, then I imagine it's gonna be painful for all, me included 😭There's that scene of Ritsu trying to find his old art style and then they decide that while it's different now it's still good and idk I thought that could be said about them as well. They don't need to hold on too much to the past or go back to exactly how they were when they started, they can learn from their mistakes and their relationship can be changed but it doesn't mean it can't be as good or even better than before. Maybe this is the realization they both need to come to.

That's bothering me too. Surely there are pictures and texts between them on that phone

I love love their first meeting, it felt so organic and natural? The acting is so on point and their chemistry so good.
Ritsu seems to still sense their special connection despite his amnesia, there's genuine interest and attraction in the way he looks at Fumiya who is taking a big risk being vague or straight up lying about what they had. I don't like it but I also understand where he's coming from. These two are clearly still into each other and I believe their relationship is salvageable but the road is rocky and it won't be easy to get there. I have my tissues prepared.

It's still a possibility imo, I'm not ruling it out until we get to the very end

I can't remember exactly but maybe it was after the final credits so you might have missed it
