Ah!! Now that you mention it.... I'm just always laughing at Kira and finding him cute that I totally missed to…
Right~? Also Asahi has started to think about Kira seriously already so yes, 99% convinced now... XD But now it's like a mom with her 5-year-old stubborn son so I'm really interested how they will develop Kira and Asahi's relationship from this point on. Kira, good luck~! XD
And yes, I also guess it's more on showing how Kira can make an important decision as a more mature person now and making a step forward. I'm just hoping he'll still continue to wear those genderless clothes and heels after this image change. XD That would be so fun for me to see Renn with his real hair while dressing as Kira haha!
Anyone else feel bad Kira got turned down like 3 times in EP5 ;_; I know Asahi has her reasons but seeing Kira…
Ah!! Now that you mention it.... I'm just always laughing at Kira and finding him cute that I totally missed to feel sorry for him for being rejected by Asahi each time in EP5. XD And OMG same here, I really thought Asahi is not interested in romance at all and is totally fine being by herself (I even had a theory that Asahi might be aromantic) so I prefer her and Kira to stay as good friends supporting each other or for their relationship to stay platonic but after episode 5 hinted about her past relationship, I guess that's not really the case.... so maybe this time it will be easier for me to be convinced if they do end up being together romantically.
(What I feel a little bit bad about is how their definition of "new Kira" is to make him look masculine... well, Kira consented to it and there's also nothing wrong with being masculine of course, but I thought Kira is unique the way he is and this "new Kira" thing is just him looking like your normal "ikemen" lol. But I guess it's important to his character development so I try not to think too much about it anymore. XD)
I'm thinking it must be intentional, since Meguru was also the one who closed his eyes first and waited for Wako to kiss him. I think this must be the first time that I've seen the male lead wait for the kiss from the female lead~! So precious!
Yes, I completely agree with your point, this dorama is more about the freedom of wearing whatever fashion we…
Yeees, exactly! I guess the drama is all about being free and showing diversity and I think it's doing a good job so far conveying these, so I hope more people will give this drama a try with that in mind instead of expecting to see representation of genderless as an identity and somehow being disappointed in the end because it's not the case. Of course, if the drama can explore genderless as an identity that would be great, but so far Meguru as the protagonist has mentioned that he's a "man" so there's that.
I feel like "cultural differences"(???I'm not sure how exactly to call it) may somewhat hinder other people from…
If I may add, like what the others have mentioned already, the drama is doing a great job defying gender roles and other stereotypes though, so I think it will be great if other people who had different expectations previously will still continue to watch it. :)
It's not clear imo to see if he cut it or not but he totally changed his hairstyle. Hopefully it's because Kira…
Yeah, I'm really still hoping they won't cut it! D: It seems they're talking about his hairstyle in the longer teaser in Twitter (something about "new Kira"), then in the scene where he back-hugs Asahi it seems a bit shorter already... but I'm still hoping it's just a different hairstyle~ We need Kira hairflip in each episode!! XD
I feel like "cultural differences"(???I'm not sure how exactly to call it) may somewhat hinder other people from fully enjoying this drama... Like some people are interested to watch this expecting or hoping to see good representation of genderless identity or androgyny when in Japan (and in the drama itself), "genderless" mostly refers to someone's fashion/style only. I got this info from a Japanese fashion wiki, and I think some people should be aware of this before watching the drama to avoid being disappointed or expecting too much:
"Is this related to sexuality?" Genderless kei is not directly related to sexuality or gender identity. Most who wear the style actually identify as straight. There are some who identify as gay or non-binary, however, this is not the majority. The style isn’t about attempting to ‘pass’ as a woman or make a statement about sexuality. Instead, it is meant to reject the idea that clothing must be gendered"
Oh no they are cutting his hair :(I love his hair flip thoughhhhh
I'm still hoping that's not really the case because same, I'm gonna miss the hairflip! Also, his hair is already too short compared to manga!Kira so... XD
I'm sure no matter what Kira will still find a way to be as ~EXTRAAA and sparkling as possible :D
I think so too, but what about the hairflip?!?! Haha! XD Also, I'm really loving Renn's hairstyle here since it's rare to see him with "long hair", I thought it would be great if he can keep it in the entire drama~~~
Seriously!! When you think he was hilarious in the previous episode, he still manages to be even more hilarious…
Yeah, I love how he's going all out!! XD Although I'm a bit worried that he might "mellow down" in the next episodes since I think Kira is supposed to undergo some ~changes~ after meeting Asahi, but I hope they'll still continue to give us a lot of chaotic Kira scenes. XD
I've only watched 2eps but how could there be "GENDERLESS" (guy) in the title?? When (as far as I've seen) NO…
"I Am Loved by a Genderless Boy" is the title of the manga it's adapted from, and if I'm not mistaken, in Japan, the word "genderless" usually refers to their fashion and appearance, instead of the gender they identify with. I guess this is why the subber translates the title to "I Am Loved by an Androgynous Boy" in their English subs as to not confuse non-Japanese/non-Japanese speaking viewers.
Hi! Believe it or not, there are people (like me) who enjoy and appreciate "quite childish" shows like this one…
No problem, I didn't think you were hating~! This show just happened to start airing during a very challenging week of my life and it did make me happy so I really wanted to share my thoughts why I like it. :)
Wait do people actually like this, and how come it has a high rating, when it's quite childish ?
Hi! Believe it or not, there are people (like me) who enjoy and appreciate "quite childish" shows like this one because sometimes, we simply want something light-hearted to watch and have something to laugh at and feel warm about (especially with all the things currently happening). I also think one of the good points of this drama is that it's trying to send across some otherwise overlooked messages without being too preachy, and instead tries to blend it with cute and humorous scenes. :) Also, people have different tastes so I guess there's also that.

RIP, Kira-sama's long hair. ;__; But Renn looks so cool with his real hair so I forgive them.
