Old school, goofy/hilarious/politically incorrect humor from26 years ago. It saddens me to realize this probably couldn't have been made now, in the era of Neo-Prudes and Snowflakes desperate for things to be "offended" by. Almost all of it would be "problematic" in 2026, which is what makes this a laugh riot and twice as fun.
Among all the non sequitors, slapstick, raunch, sight gags, and male screaming, there is a lot of damn good acting, including in emotional moments that caught me by utter surprise.
Episode 11: So...Suzuki was "worn out" from a passionate night of dead fish kisses...? 😂😅🤣
This was the most entertaining of all the episodes, by far. Suzuki was cute without seeming retarded, and their interplay was much more lighthearted than before. Also, I LOL'd' at multiple points, especially during Suzuki's secret meeting with the Three Musketeers at the diner.
A nice sign off to an slightly better than average BL. 7.5/10
I watch BL series for 5 years. Thai, Korean, Japanese, Tieanese, Chinese, western... I'd been here even before,…
In all those shows, you've never seen kissing more passionate than Hideyoshi Kan's kiss to Hioki in this episode? If so, let me know and I can make some recommendations. 😁😉
I admire that he actually made full contact and, you know, moved his lips like a real human would do, but it was hardly passionate.
Episode 1: This show feels like a near carbon copy of "Popular Serizawa..." and several other Jap BLs from earlier in the year.
At the beginning, it seemed like they hadn't seen each other for two months during Summer vacation...? But then, Hioki says they've been "dating" for two months. Can anyone clear that up for me?
Oh Lord...another show from Japan featuring what has become a BL stock character: Coy Blushing Virgin. For the 574th time: Teenage boys do NOT act like this, other than in Cotton Candy Clouds and Teddy Bear BLs for American Fujoshis under the age of 15.
Why is Hioki such a dick to that funny/goofy friend of his? Seems like now that he's hanging with the popular guys, he's blowing him off.
Wow, I just realized that Sakuragi Masaya, who was fantastic in "Hold On, Haruwhatever" recently, is playing one of Watarai's buddies. I'll say it again, it is amazing how much even a subtle change in hair color and/or style changes a person's looks.
Apparently, Watarai has gone completely insane during whatever time they have or haven't been together. This pathological level of jealousy and control issues can quickly become a big problem...I hope so!😁 Aha! I was just thinking, "They need to do the deed; when one is that close to someone they desire but get no release, the semen builds up and backs up, eventually clogging blood supply to the brain, which can result in symptoms such as psycho levels of jealousy!"
One of the best films I've seen on the topic of power imbalance in sexual abuse cases.
Joseph Chang is tremendous here; it's his best performance since I saw him in "Eternal Summer," which he did eons ago, but which is a fave of mine. He's great in many other films, but for me, those two stand out from the rest.
I like that this flick doesn't give us a trite and pretty wrap-up, but one closer to our unfortunate reality. This ending makes the film more powerful and credible.
Lee Kang Sheng has the thankless task of portraying a vile individual, and does a masterful job of it. All four supporting actresses are excellent, as well.
This kind of thing could easily go sideways into stupid. More often than not, what we get is a cross-dressing woman who looks nothing like a man, or vice versa, which makes the opposite character seem to be a moron. I wish them luck.

An instant classic.

Bravo!

You should stop watching. 😂

Hioki's lips drive me crazy too!

But it's part of our reality, which is why it's in the film.
I don't think we're intended to approve of the tactic.
More often than not, what we get is a cross-dressing woman who looks nothing like a man, or vice versa, which makes the opposite character seem to be a moron.
I wish them luck.
ooh...sounds like just my kind of thing! 😉😮😁
