Utterly BORING

I found this series as a whole, like the title says, UTTERLY BORING. I honestly do not know why I even started watching the second season because I didn't like the first season. I don't think this series warranted a second season, compared to the many JBLs out there that do. I surprised myself that I wasted my time watching the second season to the end.

Asami-kun character was just so DULL. He gave no emotion at all, I found it really difficult to believe what he was feeling and what his emotions were. I really didn't feel any connection between him and Shirasaki. When Shirasaki was struggling I really didn't feel any sympathy for him, I just found him pathetic.

I think the premises of the show was good, it reminds me of the manga Black or White. But I just think they were the wrong actors for it and directed poorly. I got more emotions and dedication from the side characters that we saw very few of. I'm looking forward to the special episode to see how well the side characters pull it off.

I know this review is harsh and probably unwarranted. Many will disagree and that's ok. If you enjoyed it, then truly good for you but it really wasn't for me. I stuck around because I truly love JBL and think it's the best form of BL out there but this, for me, really missed the mark.
