I have no knowledge of the manga.
But with the exception of our vet, who matches (imo) his persona, I have the impression, the other guys, especially Minato, should be shown in their characterization with more of an (underlying) rougher edge. He and the brothers seem to be muted down in their personalities. Too nice, soft and fluffy. Too pastel. (No. I don’t mean their fashion here.)
And I get, that the 2nd couple has to be there for context, but they’re boring. 🥱 Chemistry? Nonexistent.

Gagaoolala

Watched the re-edited version.
I liked it. The last 10min had me grinning like a fool.
Their chemistry? 🔥

Perhaps slightly off topic.
But I could watch Kan’s/Watarai’s walk on a loop.
His great posture combined with his long legs looks fine af when he walks a room.
When he grabs Hioki and strides through the classroom?
That distance was too short. 😂

Thanks to both of you for replying.
I have decided to drop it. I like a good slow burn. But the underlying burn part isn’t burning enough for me.
But that’s only my personal taste.
Which means, keep enjoying it and have a good time watching.

Okay. I need to ask:
I am currently watching ep 5. And I will watch at least 2 episodes more.
But.
Does the story start to pick up at one point a little?

Because, while I like the characters and I found the storyline interesting, so far I am not hooked either. The storytelling kinda trickles along since they’re back in the city.

From what I saw online, I only came to the conclusion, that the show did well, all in all.
But I obviously missed HOW well. 😅

After his allergic reaction. How she admonished him to speak up.
He’s still young. Probably his 1st allergic reaction. Within a new environment. Already feeling like a burden for her.
Of course he didn’t know how to react properly.
At least her friend understood the situation and tried to give her some perspective.
But within the bigger picture you’re right. She stepped up immediately to help and support him despite her own problems.

Thank you for your thoughts.
I was curious too, how the show is doing in Japan itself. Glad to read, that it is doing exceptionally well there, too.
It gives some small hope for a second season. 😅

I am watching it on Viki, too.
Currently on episode 4.
A little annoyed at the fl and her lack of empathy towards ml. To put herself in another person’s shoes to get his behavior is clearly not her strong suit.

Nice pun by them and a cute show detail.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I need to drop my appreciation for your additional explanations here, before scrolling on. Thank you!

“… flatlined in glitter”? “ …died in pastel”?
After giggling and smiling like a lunatic after that uber cute episode and reading through all the comments, your entry is again the cherry on top!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!
I am impressed (again) by your creativity while agreeing to all points made by you.

They’re both great. But I need to agree.
He is the heart of the drama and he is carrying the show amazingly.

If you want to support the drama and the actors (and the staff behind the scenes), watch on GagaOOLala.

And to know, he would follow through with it instantly, if he could.

63 ep x 2 min.
6 episodes a 20-23 min should do the trick.

In the novel it’s mentioned somewhere, that they noticed Watarai’s interest in Hioki beforehand. W wasn’t as stealthy in his observations of H like he thought. 😆

If you want the same level of fluffiness, check out “Cosmetic Playlover”.They’re young adults already, but it gives the same cotton candy vibe.
The reason and moment, when Sahashi starts to fall in love with Natsume, is nearly identical to Watarai.
