This is my favourite TV show ever - i gave 10/10's for a reason xoxo (very vaugue spoilers included)

Headline says it all, maybe i'll give a more nuanced take another time but i feel like all i need to say is this show was not made to be perfect, rather, it was made from the hearts of the creators - and it shows (╥ヮ╥).

All of the characters are extremely likeable and endearing and the humour makes this show so so so enjoyable. Biggest comfort show, where i was also intensely invested in the plot, whilst also ADORING the special Japanese charm that the show has. It leans into its manga roots in all the right ways and i will never find another show that does it better.

I want to also give a special mention for Nakatsu who is such a wonderfully written queer character who represents a super under-represented perspective on sexuality and romantic feelings that apply not only to the LBGTQIA+ community but also demonstrate the label free perspective for EVERYONE that I have held with for a very long time. I feel like they made some ... interesting choices with the only character who was explicitly named as a gay character, but did a very nuanced and careful job creating Nakatsu's character, and kept some fun and enjoyment that all the other side character boys in the school had with their other LBGTQ+ boy.

Overall, OBSESSED and i am the actual number 1 hater of love triangles - so yk its good.
