interesting start with a disappointing ep 3

Overall: I was intrigued by the first two episodes, but things that happened in episode 3 made my rating go down. Based on a manga of the same title by ENJO, which I haven't read and I am reviewing the series based on its own merits. 6 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala everywhere except Korea and Japan https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5465/depth-of-field-2025-e01

Content Warning: past bullying, sexual assault/non con touching/non con kissing, punch, past manipulation

Watch Suggestions (to avoid repeated sexual assault)
- watch episodes 1 & 2
- episode 3 watch 4:45-12 for backstory and stop at 19
- skip episode 4
- watch episode 5
- episode 6 watch 8-8:20 and 21-end

What I Liked
- I think the actors did a good job with the script that they had
- enjoyed them in university more
- production value

Room For Improvement
- one of the main characters was unlikable in high school and I didn't root for him in a romantic relationship with anyone, I can really enjoy flawed characters but I didn't feel that the past made sense for his current actions in high school and after apologizing (so he knew his was wrong) for sexually assaulting the other main character he sexually assaulted him again!!!
- potential love rival
- common pitfall of dragging poor communication out and then a rushed ending
