A very typical Japanese BL
It feels like all Japanese BL have basically the same plot structure, especially the HS romance ones. This one was no exception. I did not find anything particularly stand-out about this drama besides the amazing chemistry between the leads and the fun friendship dynamics. Otherwise, it's just another drama. The production value was obviously pretty mid (which is ok... BL & GL typically don't get the same care in the entertainment industry unfortunately).
In the bonus episodes 11 and 12, I was a little discomforted by the slightly sexual connotations of some of the scenes. While nothing was outright sexual, it was enough to raise my eyebrows considering the leads were highschoolers. However, I think it was generally appropriate for their age group to most people.
I will say that the popular male lead was not very... expressive. However, I felt Hioki was very expressive and deserved his times to shine!
