yeah sooooooo.. im obsessed. this show didn't seem like anything special to me when i first heard about it. all i knew was it was about a popular boy falling for his very unpopular classmate, and i knew the actor of hioki had been in smells like green spirit. so when i got into this show halfway through its airing, i had medium to low expectations. with that being said, this show is really good. the plot is.. ehhhhhhhh. i mean, its not bad by any means, but the plot is pretty cliche if you ask me. popular boy for some unknown reason becomes obsessed with his unpopular classmate and chases after him. we have seen this 127,000 times before. however, the plot wasn't BAD, and the mediocre plot still allowed for the cast to really deliver. oh my god these actors were PHENOMENAL. kan hideyoshi hit it out of the fucking park playing watarai. it really seemed like he had actual feelings for hioki, which i can't always say in other bls. the chemistry between kan hideyoshi and fujimoto kodai is really sweet and genuine. the characters were super cute, and the actors did a great job playing them. not only did i love the main characters, i also ADORED the side ones! i was really glad that there was no mean kid in watarai's friend group that would hate hioki or something, because that was a big worry of mine early on. the friends were really cute and supportve, which kinda just added to the overall fluffy vibe. except for a couple moments where fellow female classmates were jealous of hioki, there was not a ton of girl drama which i always appreciate. there actually wasn't that much drama at all. i was having a good time for 99% of the show. the conflicts were solved very quickly and the conflicts were already few and far between to begin with. overall, this show is super cute and fluffy. what the story is lacking is made up for with the great acting and chemistry between the two main leads and also all of the side characters.
