estar just rewatched the 1st season & this 1st ep feels like there wasn't a break between the 1st & 2nd season. that no time passed at all & i like this feeling, it's very organic & seems like real life & not a drama/BL. the mains r still in their honeymoon period which make's me smile & Yuki seems like (almost) a different person, he isn't the introverted tightly wound character that seemed like he would span at any moment (in the 1st season). being with Asami has done him the world of good. ***************so sad that at the end Asami's manger is gonna come between them. already in the 1st season there was a evil-witch aspect about her, that never was utilized, guess it is this season lol ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but wondering who the tall good-looking dude was & what his deal is, does he know Yuki??

cute & all but have to say Haruka's overreacting was killing the buzz. her always falling over her own two feet to not make the person she loved, feel obligated, constantly apologize & be overly grateful was really too much for me. i get this more of a societal thing - where the women dress & act this way - or this is how they need to act & look. either way to a average person like m, it feels a bit cartoonish & immature. but on a whole everything worked out & they got a happily ever after so that was cute. even though i would've liked Hikaru's parents to do the right thing by their son, by the end. ********************************didn't get the need to see Keisuke & Mio, when Keisuke is supposedly dating someone else. very weird choice plot route for the finale IMO. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i find it so weird the closed mouth kisses & the almost sterilized romantic scenes, when u have BL's coming out of Japan where it hardcore erotica - i don't get this dichotomy. oh well it is what it is. glad it was short cause if this was longer, i wouldn't be able to stomach Haruka's insecure, self deprecating attitude. she lucked out in that Hikaru cause of his crossdressing & parents objection's, was similar to her & could appreciate her ready acceptance of his true self, without a need for change or any judgment. which made him accept her without the need to take advantage of her hang-ups.

Keisuke is really good looking (this just an observation i needed to make lol). but i didn't get what was the point at the end. it's not like Hikaru is partying. he is at a new job where he needs to prove himself & will have to work his ass off until he is recognized by his boss, as worthy of getting hired. the fact Haruka is sad she hasn't yet realized what her dream is, neither here nor there. she has time, she is a collage student & that means she has all the time in the world to think about what she wants to become once she graduates. that is the point of collage & universities - not just the degree's & the studies, but seeing what u want to do with ur life when u graduate. *********************************************************************************************but i guess as there was one more ep to go, we needed some pointless drama - especially if going by the last ep's preview Keisuke is gonna turn to Mio. ********************************************************************************************************but liked the interaction between Haruka's mother & Hikaru, the fact she wasn't worried but happily accepted Hikaru was very sweet & open minded of her. pity Hikaru's parents haven't tried to reach out & mend bridges

after all that floundering they finally made it by the end & even though they were both insecure & uncertain about the others feelings - watching Haruka's behavior was painfully cringe. so am glad she was the one to got seek out Hikaru & she also initiated the want for intimacy. still bothers be that she keeps running to Mio for advice - but it is what it is & she doesn't seem to be two-faced where she is again planning something behind Haruka's back.

am glad that both Haruka & Hikaru r being forced into addressing their feelings. Shu & Mio r right in that accord - they need to face their feelings. even though personally i think they should take their time, to come to that conclusion all on their own. but it really bothers me that Haruka has gotten buddy buddy with Mio. ******************************************************************i know Haruka doesn't have friends, so Mio's overly pushy personality has basically pushed herself into Haruka's life & circle. but cause of how they met & the fact that Mio knew what she was doing, by contacting Keisuke while she knew he was dating Haruka. let alone playing innocent when she knew she was trying to rekindle sh*t - makes me dislike her & i would rather Haruka not be contact with her. but i guess she was needed to push Haruka into confronting her feelings. still don't like it or her much -

didn't except her to stand up to Hikaru's parents but this the 2nd time she surprised me. what i am really not interested is seeing any more off Mio, don't care for her or Keisuke anymore - they both can go have their happily ever after off screen for all i care. but i don't want or need to see either on screen. **************************************************************************the ending with Shu & Hikaru am guessing is another mislead - as am 100% Hikaru not gay or bi % he never had a "past" with Shu. but as he is blind drunk i hope Shu not taking advantage

Keisuke didn't waste any time, Haruka broke-up with him & the 1st person he calls is his ex?!? even though Haruka is a pushover she got out before it was too late. glad that even though she keeps bowing in gratitude & apologizing constantly she had enough of a spine not to suffer in silence & for this i am eternally grateful. she has yet to realize her feelings for Hikaru, or rather understand that she has romantic feelings for him...

yeah i said Keisuke was a good guy in the previous ep & he still is, but he is also thoughtless & kinda inconsiderate, taking advantage of Haruka's people pleasure personality. he knew she was head over heels for him & would never think to oppose or stand up to him. so am happy that by the end, she realized that she couldn't enable his inconsideration, towards her. or maybe it was also the realization that she felt more for Hikaru. ****************************************************************************either way am glad she put an end to that sh*t, sorry but the balls on Keisuke not only to stand her up, but then to tell his ex she could rely on them in the future - like WTF. if i was Haruka i would've lost my sh*t on the day he ran out. with all due respect to being in the big city all alone Keisuke wasn't just an ex, he had a gf - so Mio should've contacted the cops. that's their job. yeah that was whack... *********************************************************************************************************************btw is Shu infatuated with Hikaru?!? & as Hikaru is straight this gonna be an issue???? as there 6 ep more to go....

so is that a mislead?!? cause if Keisuke did kiss his ex after bailing on Haruka, after seeing her cooking for their date - for him & Haruka still in the relationship then she a doormat. but i also don't see Hikaru letting Keisuke hurting Haruka. so am guessing it wasn't a kiss.

i am kinda happy that Keisuke found out who his new buddy was, & he even realized that Hikaru had crush on Haruka. this getting dragged out, while he is cluelessly falling in love only to be left heartbroken & alone isn't something i was looking forward too as he is a good guy & deserved to get treated better. ******************************************************************the fact Hikaru is left heartbroken is sad but it is what it is at this stage ...

didn't even dream that Keisuke & Hikaru would turn into best buds. but i am glad Hikaru realized that he was just being petty & Keisuke didn't deserve to get treated in that b*tchy way. cause Keisuke's behavior has been on the up & up - the main plus being, he is very considerate & mature in his approach to Haruka infatuation. he didn't need to be that candid, but cause he is a serious individual, he didn't want to start something if there was gonna be a repeat of his past gf's. personally i appreciate how thoughtful he is - pity he is gonna develop feelings & then not get the girl - or that's the usually the trope.... of course i would love if i am wrong & he doesn't fall for Haruka, then no harm no foul. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Hikaru falling for Haruka's not shocking as i am sure he like her has always felt like the odd one out & never really fit in with the people around. feeling even more isolated cause of the cross dressing, as he not gay & usually women wouldn't know how to deal with a bf that is into that. so Haruka's automatic acceptance, her affection & warmth touched his heart. so not shocking that he has developed feelings for her.

really wish Haruka would stop with the over reaction & the shouting, especially in public setting it's freakin embarrassing. but i get this is how the FL needs to be portrayed in the J-drama 'scene' - hard to sit through personally. ******************************& not trying to talk sh*t, but with all the hoopla about make-up & being a plain Jane. the make-up is so natural i don't even notice a difference between when Haruka has got make-up on & when she hasn't. the fact her hair not in the usual ponytail also isn't that much of an improvement IMO, cause her hair is kinda flat. & get her styling is also what Japanese women wear, but it's kinda frumpy to me. i prefer her when she is her normal self. she looks like a collage student too busy to care about what she is wearing & if her hair is done, cause she is busy either studying or working at her part time job - u know like a normal, average students the world around.

this was cute on a whole, but also a bit cliché in parts & the part where Haruka goes to remind Keisuke he made a date with her on her B-day for drinks, was so cringe - it pained me physically watching that whole scene OMG - the 2nd hand embarrassment was too much for me, i had to distance myself from the screen. i just wanted her to stop OMO. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but on a whole i really like Haruka's visuals (& personality) she is pretty bare faced without make-up all she needs to do is smile & she lights up, plus she is really sweet with a sunny personality. so i don't get the need to be ultra girly. not all women r into make-up, dresses & high-heels, yet they don't lack a romantic life let alone other female friends. cause ur personality is what counts, at the end of the day. but then i guess Haruka wouldn't seek-out Hikaru & then no drama. so it is what it is.

School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To Episode 1

really liked this, even though there were some really cringe moments that i really wanted over fast & Hioki is a bit too clumsy, but at least he doesn't over react or act, so it wasn't unbearable. plus i think he is beautiful & adorable (IMO he's one of the better looking in this BL, yeah the rest not bad looking either - but he is at the top for me), also like that he isn't like everyone else & marches to his own beat... didn't like the "mean girls" with their petty remarks, that just hurt an innocent. but other then the typical use of females as antagonist's that r mean, just for the sake of being mean - this was fun. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************it's also obvious that Watarai has a crush on Hioki & he was the one that either suggested Hioki's name to join his friend group or he has confided in his friends & they invited Hioki, cause they trying to help their friend get Hioki. either way, it's cute seeing Watarai not being able to keep his eyes off Hioki & until the end Hioki didn't really notice something was off. can't wait for more.
