Meh..

This series lost me before it could even grasp me. Depth of Field was a lot and not enough at the same time, but with enough strength, I was able to get through this. Recommendation: don't get through this.

Let's Dive In.

After episode 2, I fast forwarded through this. Mind you, this series is six episodes for about 25 minutes. Not good, not good at all. I feel like this show tries to gain your attention quickly in the first episode: Chiro getting a blowjob while thinking of Ryohei, taking a picture of him whilst sleeping, amongst other cute little moments, but this series fails to draw me into the actual story. Chiro struggles with his mental health due to a past situation with a former friend that has led him to be brooding and lonely. Okay look, I'm not trying to diminish anyone's problem but you're telling me, you've completely stop music cause of one mishap in like, middle school? ...okay.

Not every series has to be this fluffy, happy-go-lucky feel, but this series loses me completely around the time Chiro forces himself on Ryohei. He's going through it, I get it, but I hate that there's no further discussion of what happened afterwards. Chiro kind of apologizes, but the Ryohei is standing there trying to help him and figure out what's wrong with him without acknowledging what has happened to him... !!!!!!! Then he kisses him twice unconsensually, and think Ryohei is suppose to like magically be okay with it. NO!

Then a time jump. Sigh. Fast forwarding turned to skimming rather quickly.

But, what I liked out of everything was the scene with both of them having a conversation in the living room and Chiro is beautifully crying. I can't help it, that man is pretty.

Overall, this wasn't the series for me. I found nothing of value to it, but even with saying that, I feel bad giving it too low of a score, cause, in the end, it wasn't the worse thing I've watched.

Ratings:

Story: 5/10 - Boring. Backstory of Chiro was sad, but personally, I don't think it should've been the reason he becomes so stoic and lonely. A little anticlimactic if you will.

Acting: 8.5/10 - Good!

Music: 6/10 - Don't remember!

Recommendation Value: 2/10. No. But Chiro does look beautiful when he cries.
