Actually I love Hotta the most also! I hope to see this actor in other dramas in the future! 😽😽😽 Maybe he gets his own JBL? That would be nice!

The story had a strong beginning, but unfortunately lost the charisma over the episodes. These constant break-offs got on my nerves and even in the final eoisode Minato still had to think over. At some point the relationship didn't make any sense anymore. Honestly the chemistry wasn't there either.
I wasn't a great fan of their acting, good looks unfortunately don't save a bad storyline and acting. There were way better JBLs this year.
So all in all, it wasn't that bad, but not exciting enough to rewatch. For me 6/10.

One of the rare cases where I loved the second season! Watch it!

Next to School Trip my most favorite JBL! So comforting! Love also Season 2!

If you are looking for a wholesome series without any rivals, I can recommend you "Our dining table". One of my most rewatched JBLs! Another one I can recommend is "Minato's coin Laundry" (this one has TWO seasons and both are great!)!

100% agreed!

For me personally where Watarai eavesdrops Hioki and his friends and where Hioki says that Watarai seems to be kind since he borrowed the pencil to the one girl. Watari's facial expression got me there so much!

Thank you for this wonderful, wholesome series! I liked the pace the story was told, the actors were well chosen what the chemistry is involved - not only the MLs, but also the side characters added a fantastic atmosphere to the story. One honorable mention: Morisaki's brother Ryoto who only appeared in two episodes, but took my heart away. I wish, we could get a second season to see his background story as he always looked melancholic.
Yes, the whole story is pure cliché, but so well done! One of the rare stories where I wasn't only fixated on the MLs, but also on Hioki's and Watarai's friends who were such lovable characters.
For me next to BL series as "Dining Table" and "Minato's Coin Laundry" one of the best series with rewatch value!
I hope we international Fans can see the two special episodes, plus hoping like never before for a second season!

I don't know why, but I am probably the only one being a bit disappointed about the movie. The couple was captivating, but I didn't see the chemistry too much. Maybe it would have been better to make a series of the story instead a fast movie, because I simply couldn't grasp the love between these two. Literally step by step relationship-wise would have been better than a quick turn.
But maybe my expectations were too high. I wasn't too much into the storyline, it somehow didn't click with me, even though I liked the dancing parts. I might change my view when I see the sequel whenever that will be.

The next two Sundays. If you are in Japan, you are lucky, but we don't know if we get it on international basis.

If we are lucky, we will get to see the two special episodes ... then I am hoping for your diary entries again! 🤭🤭🤭 Thank you for accompanying this lovely series with your posts!

Also hoping so much that we can watch it!

😅😅😅 To me he will always be connected to Adachi!

I haven't read the part 2 yet, only part 1, but I truly hope so! 😍

I am also happy to hear that ... but does that mean we won't get a season 2??? I hope not! 😭

Not only the series, I am completely addicted to Dxteen's song! I have watched their performance video countless times -- such a lovely song and performance! For those who haven't seen it:

And yes, please season 2! I NEED something to look forward to!

One of my favorite scenes (among others of course) of the last episode is the one with Hioki's club friends and where Watari asks for Tsujitani's Insta account! My goodness, Watari would do anything to get more info about and photos of Hioki! 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly! Whereas in other shows there are millions of break-ups because there is lack of communication, Watari and Hioki are the best example for how not to let this happen, to get misunderstandings out of the way immediately.

Yes, that man played himself straight into my heart! He often looks melancholic, so I would love to know his background story! 🥹

Wonderfully put into words. The fact that both of them are insecure because of the gender is a way more realistic way. Not bothering at all at this age would have been too idealistic. So even though it wasn't a part of the original story, I don't bother at all, it makes the love only stronger.

I truly like the side characters of this drama.
Ryogo-san is such a lovable character; Hard on the outside, soft on the inside. I wish he would have an extra episode for himself so we would to get to know him better!
And Hioki's club members are wonderful - how Tsujitani says that he was worried about Hioki being an errand boy of Watari. They all care about each other.
And how they all supported Hioki while cross.dressing is lovely! Except Watari: he looked very seriously like falling completely for Hioki if he hadn't already.
Yes, this how is all about clichees, but done in a real warm-hearted way.
I will really miss this show when it ends next week!
