Gennosuke looked way hotter in his pervious bl Dangerously sweet. š
He was handsome in that one but I donāt know why he was styled like a K-Drama actor. It was odd.
Unpopular opinion: Gennosuke seems more fit to portray passive, introverted, softer characters. I just get that impression from him. Itās his big, sad looking eyes. Heās always unintentionally serving emo. lol
Thatās why I found his portrayal in Dangerously Sweet less convincing than his other vertical BLs (Sempura or Give A Rewardā¦) where he is playing those awkward/loner/insecure types.
But people seem to really like him in the ācool dominant guyā roles.
Lots of healthy communication in this episode. It was adorable to see both of them be vulnerable around each other.
The shift to Asamiyaās perspective really balances out the plot. He is self-aware and is actively trying to tone down his behaviour and give space to Mayama. Which in turn helped Mayama open up to him about his past insecurities.
Iām not really going to apply grown-up logic to high school romance, so to me it was believable that merely feeling seen can lead to being intensely infatuated with someone.
The same tropes are recycled in high school BLs because we are dealing with teenage characters with limited life experience in a controlled school environment. Thereās only so much you can do with that set up.
Asamiya is a bit unhinged. But everyone around him is so casual about it?!? Hello?
I donāt know why this makes me laugh but I hope we get some insight into his bizarre behaviour.
Also I donāt care if the actors are late 20s playing teenagers. They are playing their roles convincingly. Itās not like they are the first actors to have ever played teenagers while being obviously older.
But I do hope to see Gennosuke in a proper full-length JBL outside of a high-school setting. Heās the best thing to happen to JBL in a while.

But high school BLs have a smaller pool of tropes to choose from it seems.
So, I typically go into them expecting extremely formulaic plots.
