A Poetic BL of Injured Birds Finding Homes
First of all, first 10/10 rating for BL for me in 2025. The screenwriting is poetically excellent but it needs to be paired with good actors as well, so the marriage between two is beautiful. The direction and music score is superb. Really high rewatch value for me and the length of being just six episodes actually does not bother me much. It has a very cinematic pacing similar to a road movie, and the aesthetics is reminiscent of old Showa Yakuza movies.
The characters are both self destructive in different ways. Kataoka, on the surface, is fearless and charismatic but has no sense of purpose for living and doesn't mind rather he lives or dies. He simply wants to die without much pain. Odajima is a tragic character who believes his existence is a sin yet clings onto reasons to live...but those reasons keep slipping away. They find reasons to live in each other through entanglement of hate and love and eventually arrives at a happy destination.
Now, I'm manifesting the production also decides to adapt the sequel volume for a second season.
