Yes, this scene shows that Hijiri is always Akira's number 1 priority, and he is willing to do anything to be with her. And the same goes for Hijiri too, because she will always put Akira's growth first, so it's a beautiful balance. I love my OTP

It would be so good to have a discussion page. There is honestly so much to analyze and think about in this drama, and actually having a place where people can engage in discussions would be perfect. Comment page alone doesn't do this drama justice. Can someone contact a mod so they open a discussion page?

Waiting for subs would be like for another two weeks or more, which is why I'm both excited about tomorrow's episode but also not sure whether I will be watching raw :/ I'm going craaaazy ahaha

This drama makes me want to learn Japanese! I have watched a lot of anime and j-dramas in my life but I swear for this i can't wait for subs it's too much for me and I wish I could understand Japanese lol

I WANT A KISS SCENE + angst + romantic cinematography. And I want sensei to finally give in to Akira

This was the song playing during the sunset scene if anyone is curious.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Everyone has been saying how good episode 8 was, now I can't stop thinking about this drama and hoping to see raws AAAAAHHH this drama high key taking over my life.

I was going to wait until all episodes were complete with subs, BUT WHO AM I KIDDING? I am so in love with this piece of art, I keep coming back to it, being pulled by my love for it

Yeah, I think episode 9 will be Hijiri/Akira scenes and strengthening their bond, realizing how much they are meant to be with one another + angst, and then episode 10 maybe they come back to reality and deal with society, fight their issues (Akira's mom, Hijiri's teaching career etc.) and some kind of a hopeful & happy ending. At least that will be my ideal way to end the drama :D

Good luck on your exam! Gambatte!

That seaside scene is Hijiri and Akira!!!! OMG THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. I have been patiently waiting, and I can't wait to be fed properly after weeks of starving from their lack of interaction!

Pretty sure that was episode 5 when Hijiri chan was suspended from teaching. That's the exact attire she was wearing when she visited the school for disciplinary action. Guys, let's stay positive! I am almost certain there will be no shoddy ending to this drama like car accident, random death etc. I trust the director to give us something meaningful as an ending. I think the writers and the crew are creating something more than a romantic drama, something that will make us remember it for a long time to come.

Same! Honestly, I keep thinking I am in the minority since everyone keeps hyping it up. This one feels like a very complex plot with mystery, and I have NO idea what is going on, but like in a totally good way. Maybe I am just sick of bad boy-good girl romance stuff

I have full faith they will be together some time or another. With a love so crushingly beautiful, how do you even get over something like that? You simply can't. And I believe they will find their way to each other one day. Or I hope so. I'm going to cry a lot if they don't end up together

i want them to spend the rest of ep. 8-10 together and all eternity afterwards ;))

Papa bless

You should definitely give it a try! Yeah, the soundtrack for the drama isn't out yet but they played this in one of the important scenes :D

I really love the mood of this drama. It is dark, and the OST is beautiful. I was legit smiling when Agnes Obel started playing. Also, the characters all seem very interesting

Thank God if that's the case. For some reason, I just can't get into his long hair

Same! That hairstyle, jacket, and big d*ck energy :D
