dayum...lol...this was seriously bad, but also kind of good because it was so bad.
I don't believe I've ever seen downward-pointing nipples like that. The tall, dumb one is a terrible actor, but there is something charming about him. I liked his character's mischievous directness. I felt nice chemistry between the two mains. The hot bods on these Korean actors...lord have mercy.
Had to laugh at the 100% bare/white apartment. They must have rented it for one day's shoot, then got the hell out.
Age of sexual consent in JP is now 16. Being of "legal age" for other purposes is separate from being of legal age for sexual consent. "Near-age" clauses in the law passed in 2023 allow for situations such as a 20-17 relationship, which would be fine.
Laws could potentially vary by prefecture, but I don't believe that's the case for most.
What do you mean, he "ain't it?" He's as cute as a button and even sweeter.
Yeah, he feels like a misdirection tactic, I agree.
I checked out JP laws on consent. Age of consent is 16. "Near-age" clauses in the new laws (2023) specifically allow for something like a 20-17 pairing. People under 18 in Japan legally being "minors" has nothing to do with age of consent law.
There are potential variations depending on prefecture, but my understanding is 17-20 would be fine.
To stress out over a 17-20 pairing is silly.It happens every single day, all over the world.As of 2023, Japan…
The site where I reviewed the JP laws on this, specifically referenced the new laws as applying to sexual relationships. How is the government going to know if two people are dating, but not having sex, and why should it? I certainly don't want any govt. interference in my sex life.
I don't even remember the psychic guy. He is not the writer guy, right?
This is remarkably terrible. I really should stop watching, but it's fascinating in its awfulness. The director should be run out of the business. Seems clear the actors are improvising and doing a horrible job. It's the director's job to fix that. BDSM for fifth-graders.
I just saw it and I didn't like it. Hatano is cute, but I wanted Kikuchi. It took two seasons of showcasing their…
I wanted Kikuchi too. I was honestly surprised when he threw the ring. I thought he'd change his mind at the last second and resolve to go after his man.
Okay, this is kind of a rant but—I know people might hate it, but I am loving the potential Mob–Hatano pairing.…
To stress out over a 17-20 pairing is silly. It happens every single day, all over the world. As of 2023, Japan raised the age of consent to 16, but included "near-age" clauses that would render a pairing between 17-and 20-year-olds perfectly acceptable and legal. There are prefectural variations in consent laws, but as far as I can tell, none that would make a Hatano-mob romance a problem.
MDLers loooooooooooooove to moralize over "age gap" relationships, even when the gap is small, as it would be here. It's almost like google isn't a thing.
There are a lot of 16-year-olds who are far more mature than a lot of 21-year-olds.
one more ep to go - is Mob gonna end up with Hatano (who is still under age?!?) or alone as in every other season???…
How can you not like Kikuchi? :O I like your idea about the writer, writing himself in, though. That would be a downer though, as there's no history to enrich that pairing.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...Kikuchi was supposed to be Mob's endgame!!!!
I'm devastated.
That said, perhaps Kikuchi will learn some wild and crazy sex stuff from Haruhiko, who somehow made it into this show from over in "The Novelist," where he learned crazy sex stuff from Rio, who had learned his crazy sex stuff from Shiro! One can hope...
Now, all this said, I must admit that Hatano, Mob's brother's bud, is a cutie, so I won't be crushed if things go that way.
But all this and that said, it's true that, as the commenter below said, it was made clear through two seasons that Mob has feels for Kikuchi...we were deliberately misled/betrayed by the writers! :O
Well, you never know what will happen in The World of BL.
it's a simple high school drama. not every bl-related drama has to be to your standards of sex. if you're looking…
"contextually" lol "would be applied" by...whom? You? Them? Good god.
Am I hearing you agreeing I did NOT make statements about ALL women or ALL teen girls, but that, nevertheless, I'm responsible for the hilarious overreaction of those who choose to pretend I did do so, or who have poor reading comprehension, and took offense? Or who fit the description and took offense?
No, I'm not responsible for the first two groups, but I am for the last one, because they are the people I described. And I'm good with that.
omg I saw comments adressing the haters of this show and I knew you'd be one of them 😭😭 I love it, you're…
I think I might be the only "hater" of this show who has commented here.
Nevertheless, the Teen Girls who enjoy the show and its "comfortable" vibe, cannot abide ONE person who sees the show as significantly flawed and dares to say so on "their" comment thread.
Plus, not one of them has the sense to block me, rather than let my comments "ruin their watch." lol

He pretty clearly avoids things he doesn't want.
