I hope they don't keep the explanation for Minato's fear of love and sex as "WELL, HE IS A TSUNDRE CHARACTER,…
Oh, sorry. That comment was to a different member so I was a tad confused. I was certainly not avoiding a reply.
The commenter of whom I asked that question has repeatedly stated that Akira is THIS way and THAT way and THIS and THAT are what are going to happen in the series because THIS and THAT, ETC., are the ways everything happens in the Manga.
My question is not difficult to explain: If you go into a show believing you are going to see and hear EXACTLY what you read and heard while reading the Manga or the Manhwa or whatever, seriously, why bother? But the truth is , there is no way to put ANY written/drawn source material on the screen in EXACTLY the way it appears in the original. If nothing else, the change of media will of itself bring great changes to the story in many detailed ways. And as a viewer I don't necessarily WANT writers and directors mindlessly photo-copying written stories onto the screen. Just the act of doing that alters the story from the way you heard/read/saw it in your mind.
Now those images and voices and feelings the source material created in your MIND are going to be images, voices and feelings as interpreted by writers and directors. There is no way it's going to be precisely as you imagined it. So what you are really watching the adaptation for is to see/hear/perceive SOMEONE ELSE'S vision of the original, which is going to be different than yours, if only in details. But that's what makes it interesting whether you admit it or not.
And the dude above who kept insisting Akira is a Tsundere and will not change at all throughout the adaptation because that is what is in the Manga, then turned around and stated all the ways in which Akira WILL be changing. So which is it?
Also, his idea of a Tsundere's characteristics is inaccurate to begin with: A Tsundere by definition appears as cold and aloof and unemotional--which has never been true of Akira anyway, it's always been clear he was FIGHTING to suppress the feelings he clearly has for Shin--but then changes as the story progresses and exposes a softer side as walls come down.
So I think your fantasy of Mangas reproduced precisely as they are on paper is absurd and you think my thoughts that an adaptation by its nature changes loads of aspects of the story is absurd. Got it? Got it.

Yes, and MANY changes to the stories were made in the Harry Potter movies, for a thousand different reasons, as well as in the Marvel movies. To say what you see on screen is EXACTLY what is in the source material is absurd.
Love the vibe that has developed between them as Kazuma continues to be persistent but patient and Ren gradually lets down his walls.
The opening love scene in episode four is splendid. Delicate, sexy, romantic, and again, Kazuma being tender, understanding and patient. The perfect approach to take with someone like Ren.
I like that the snake-like Senior at work is becoming a problem.
The idea that one sex session with Ren put Kazuma into a near-death coma is the one, huge, stupid, and glaring plot device that undermines what is otherwise pretty well-written. They should have SHOWN us what it was that was so mind-alteringly pleasurable it nearly killed Kazuma. The doctor asking intimate questions pertaining to a patient in front of the subject's parent's and the other boy's mom was ridiculous as was her hysterical reaction. An unfortunate moment of BL trope slipping in again.
As others have said, it's nice to see horny young men acting like horny young men.
Kazuma and Ren are beautifully cast. Both wide-shouldered but with different builds and skin/hair tones. Together they make a magical tableau.
All actors need work on their crying scenes. Terrible/cringy. I'll blame the director.
It’s fiction, if people trip, fall and land kissing the love of their life in Thailand I don’t see why you…
It's fiction but the more plausible the story is the easier it is to suspend disbelief and lose yourself in what's happening instead of thinking "oh god, another stupid BL trope coincidence." I am continually amazed at how BL viewers lower their standards. That's why Thailand continues to produce dreck; a lot of viewers will watch ANYTHING, no matter how lame.

Huh.
Above, you stated emphatically that Akira, as a Tsundere, cannot and will not change because that's what happens in the Manga. Period. Now you are saying something else. I quote you from above:
///
Akira has trouble with intimacy, but doesn't have trouble with friendships. Akira has it in him to work on it. He quit his job in Tokyo to return home to run the laundromat. that takes guts. He also came out to his ex-girlfriend. It may take him a while, but I think he will get there.
///
Hmmm...that sounds like...character development and change. Almost as if anything could happen. Call me crazy.

Of course. That is not the issue. The issue is does that mean the material being brought to life has to follow the source in every detail without fail? I understand that is generally true for Manga-to-live-action adaptations but it is not 100% true across the board. Even in a slavish adaptation there are going to be minor changes simply because you can't do everything onscreen you can do in writing. And what you do in writing/drawing may be dull repeated over and over onscreen.
Am I a psycopath if I say I liked the first story end? The second one was sad, but the end was nice, though. And…
Kids always know a lot more than adults think they do. The boy had at some point found out about grandpa and was simply being kind and brave. Which is the opposite of what the messed-up dad was doing. When the dad confronted the boy was heartbreaking. What a good little actor.
Akira is a tsundere character. This is a Japanese manga adaptation where Akira is tsundere and Shintaro is a "puppy"-like…
I've looked at five different definitions of Tsundere online. You haven't even been characterizing the term properly. This is the general gist, everywhere I looked:
///
Tsundere (ツンデレ, pronounced [t͡sɯ̥ndeɾe]) is a Japanese term for a character development process that depicts a character with an initially harsh personality who gradually reveals a warmer, friendlier side over time.
The word is derived from the terms tsun tsun (ツンツン) (adverb, 'morosely, aloofly, offputtingly')[1][2][3] and dere dere (でれでれ) (adverb, 'in a lovey-dovey or infatuated manner').[4][2][5] Originally found in Japanese bishōjo games,[6] the word is now part of the otaku moe phenomenon,[7] reaching into other media. The term was made popular in the visual novel Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.[8]
///
Gosh, you might even notice the words "character development process" in that definition. You've been asserting that Tsunderes very much do NOT develop. WRONG. It's useful to be familiar with terms you throw around as though you know all there is to know about them.

BTW, why are you watching this? You already know what everyone will do and say. What is the point?
