Such a beautiful ending! I knew it was going to happen but that didn't stop me from crying the entire ending song, I didn't want this series to end ever!

And now, knowing these news that we'll get a new anime omg. I think a new season is coming our way and I couldn't be happier!! Plus, the ova that's coming in a couple months.

I'll keep following their story and also hirano to kagiura's cause I'm in love. It's been a while since I'm this invested in a love story 💖💖💖

Yayyy perfect adaptation and great finale! The slow burn was starting to get to me a bit in the previous two episodes, but I'm glad Miyano finally got the resolve to reply to Sasaki's confession. Really cute and fluffy confession scene. Worth the build-up. Just wish there could've been at least one more episode showing what happens while they're dating, but it is what it is. Hopefully we'll get to see more of them in the new anime project, whether it be a sequel 2 or adaptation of Hirano to Kagiura. Pretty satisfied overall and it's definitely the best BL I've seen since Given, so a solid 7/10 for me.

fuck man that was just one big fluff bomb. I am weak.

8/10 series, it's been great to finally get another BL anime that isn't drowning in the usual shitty tropes.

Finally, they officially became boyfriends. Sasaki and Miyano are one of those couple who doesn't have any sign of drama and toxicity, just pure love. The rest of the cast plays a huge part on the story too. I love all of them. Good way to end the show by letting the couple happily talk with each other while their friends are happily staring at them too. I love it!!

Cute finale. The entire second half was hella sweet and adorable but they sure dragged the living hell out of that confession. Would have preferred it to happen like two or three episodes ago and then have the remaining episodes being focused on Sasaki and Miyano's first experiences as an official couple.

Overall, I would say this was an OK series. Yes, it was chill and fluffy but... I don't know. Guess I was expecting a bit more substance. Personally, I found most of Sasaki and Miyano's interactions to be extremely cliche/generic and having Miyano constantly associating everything with BL tropes sure annoyed me for moments.

5/10 - That said, I'm still looking forward to the OVA and the recently announced new anime project.

Ok! This was actually a really sweet anime!
I had my doubts midway but I liked how Sasaki acknowledges his mistakes, apologises and tries to do better.
I love their interaction a lot, the fact that it doesn't fall under the seme/uke dynamic is so refreshing! It's just two boys falling in love.

Finally!!! That part when they were walking to the park, we see Sasaki's back and it crossfades to his back in Ep 1 walking away as he helps Kuresawa, I felt very aksjdlasd like we've come a long way. I was surprised that we saw Sasaki thinking that what almost happened was practically assault because sudden kisses have been very usual in romance anime be it for BL or hetero pairings.

Miyano scrambling over his words to be able to get his feelings across clearly was so cute. And how he had to repeat his confession to officially ask Sasaki out. I kept thinking how earnest he is. Again I am weak to the focus on the hands. Them hugging while still holding hands :( //cries. And Sasaki not wanting to let go that Miyano had to take the phone call www I am just very happy. I will miss the whole cast, the people around SasaMiya are all chill and awesome

I wonder what the new production will be about :O

hi hi! This episode was definitely the highlight of the whole season really! Id rate Sasaki to Miyano a 10 out of 10, mainly because of how it really took pace better than regular romance animes. Id like this fluffy and wholesome atmosphere and vibe it gave. Now I can’t watch other romance animes but I think I’ll def read the mange to feel more at ease lol 😆

I'm still melting into a puddle of sappy wholesomeness 😊💕
Gosh this was adorable, both were so precious and awkward and seeing the whole cast together at the end was such a good send-off too~
(also we saw a glimpse of that mysterious girlfriend? lol)

I think the show could have done with about 2 episodes less on a whole tbh; the middle portion felt REALLY stretched out, but other than that, such a good, wholesome romance!

Also, idk if I just wasn't paying attention to the music well enough before, but this episode, the background music was SO good. I love it when there are so many different tracks with the same motif and it feels like they found a fitting, good way to use all the many variations of the main theme this time.

NAW... WAY TOO CUTE. the hand holding, hug and FFUFUUCCKING KISS? sorry i went insane from the kiss. not even some of my fav shoujo manga's have that cute romantic n gentle first kiss scene y'all they kissed each others hand n stuff first..... I want what they have.😐😐😐😐 this is so messed up

love how miyano had that "please be my boyfriend" line i SWEARRR HES SO RIGHT THERE'S SO MANY STORIES THAT GOES WITH THAT TROPE SND IT MAKES ME !!#!$!$!$!$!!$

hanazawa and hirano helping them out was so cute. kuresawa literally getting up from his seat when hearing the news lol. and then continuing to tell the others :']]

this was a rly cute show. my fav part gotta be the ammount of communication they had throughout all this. excited for the other project (?or whatever its called). hoping hirano and kagiura will also get an adaptation🤞🤞

AAAAAAHHH ;___;

Even though I've seen that confession scene in the manga BUT BUT I'M STILL NERVOUS, EXCITED AND GRATEFUL when Miyano confesses his love... and when they finally kiss (〃´ω`〃) it's so adorable I can't stop "aaaaa!! awww" during that moment and I feel like I'm going crazy soon xD Congrats Sasaki and Miyano!! Indeed, when people are in love, their eyes are full of sparkles and it feels like flowers are blooming~

Also yup, Hirano is a real best friend. He was the first to know that Sasaki liked Miyano and indirectly supported and helped them. But actually Sasaki and Miyano are surrounded by good friends. ♡

Congratulations Sasamiya on getting a new anime project! Whatever it is I'll gladly accept it but I hope there will be lots of Kagiura and Hirano moments!!

Yes! OST is brilliant!! Every composition fits perfectly! Despite some chapters were not shown in series it is really very thoroughful and accurate adaptation! Literally every word and image was adapted! It is perfect work of director, scenario writer, animators and all other staff!!

So cuuute ♥♥♥ I love how over half of the episode, it was the confession scene at the park, but it still felt like the time went by really fast. It's just such a beautiful moment ;_; Everything in this episode was just so perfect, I'll probably watch it again some time this week >< I love how Miyano made sure to ask Sasaki if he wants to go out due to something that happened in a BL manga :'D I've read shoujo romance like that, too, haha. Can never be too safe! I'll miss my weekly dose of Sasamiya, since for me personally, it has been a really healing show.

Such a waste of opportunity when senpai's house is just around the corner, look like they need to read more R18 BL... (well, they aren't 18 yet but who cares). I hope raw, condomless sex is the main focus of season 2.

Good thing they made Miyano chasing Sasaki, I'm so tired of seeing a one-way Sasaki chasing Miyano with Miyano being unresponsive.

One of the anime strong point is their friends, they're very supportive, some of them might even be classified as "straight ally", even the delinquent one like Ogasawara is still open mind (maybe due to his girlfriend force him to). There's no villain in this story. Maybe time is the only villain. Sasaki is nearly graduated so I'm wondering what will happen after that.

Unfortunately there is not enough material tor second season as of now. It will probably be a movie, another OVA or Hirano and Kagiura adaptation. Anything from these would be great! I really want second season airing next year!

I literally stayed up until 1amp to watch it. And when they finally got together, I almost screamed too much of joy. It was kinda sad because the anime was ending and I can't read the manga further than the frist 4 volumes, but today when I saw the notification that there'll be a second season, I starteled my friends with my scream. I can't wait for a new season and hope it'll bring a lot of fluffy interactions!!!

I liked the episode and the series, but I have to say, they really went out of their way to hide the kiss. Multiple angles where the point of contact is obscured, a close-up that only zooms out after they separate, even the quick peck is immediately cut away from. I was pleasantly surprised by this show, I'm glad it was adapted, and I'm happy that others love the scene, I just think it's weird the way they handled it.

No, it was an artistic decision the author made in the manga, too. It’s not censorship or laziness; it’s meant to say, “this is a private moment for the two of them.” You don’t have to see them kiss in full detail to know they did it, or for it to have an impact. The things they did during/after it were arguably more romantic than the fact that they kissed. How much they touched each other, the positions of their hands, etc. The things that seem small, but which paint a more detailed picture of how they feel about each other, and how they express those feelings. I think it was better this way.

I can't remember when I watched a romance story this realistic in anime for the last time. Réally good show! I really like it when they take a very realistic approach. *nodnod*
Hope to see a second season, OVA, or whatever for more stuff. Would be cool to see them within a relationship and how it progresses (as a lot of stories leave out the part after a couple gets together)

The show felt more like a PG rating rather than a PG-13 rating for me. Besides the kids between two guys, there was no violence, bad language or fan service. I don’t know, maybe because same sex couples are still taboo unfortunately.

It was nice to see a BL that's fluffy and cute without all the problematic stuff. But... it was just kind of bland and boring imo. Feels like it needed something more. The dynamic with the cute and cool guy is also just something I'm kind of over at this point. Idk why BL always gotta persist with the more girly short guy with big eyes and the more cool taller guy. I know they tried to touch on this subject a little bit in the series but in the end it's still there. Meh.

Pretty sure they made Miyano cute and feminine in this series, is because it's poking fun at that bl troupe that one of the characters basically looks like a girl. This show was making fun of the bl troupes, which as a bl fangirl, I find pretty funny. xD

They weren't really making fun of that trope in particular, did they? If they did I don't remember. I only remember them talking about a bunch of different type of BL couples and they were touching on Miyano having a cute face but still being a guy and how he felt self conscious about it. But either way I doubt they made Miyano cute for that reason alone. In the end they're still the cute uke and cool seme trope which I'm so tired of lmao.

Later in the manga they touch on that subject. I don't even like using seme and uke in this situation, because this show has nothing sexual about it. But Miyano says "Hey I'm not a uke." Because he's used to using bl terminology to talk about this stuff and Sasaki responds saying "That's fine. I'll be whatever you want me to be. Because I want to be with you." Perhaps if the anime does get a second season it'll show up and destroy this troupe people are seeing. Either way it's still just a really wholesome story about two boys in love and there's nothing to the public eye that is sexual, so that's why I don't like labeling them.

I have actually read the manga, and although he does say that, it's pretty obvious what role they play since every aspect of their relationship is set up that way. Sasaki even said that he lied about it as he pushed down and kissed him later after saying he was fine with either. Even if they make fun of or try to push away from the trope, most of it is just the cute guy and the cool guy trope. Talking or trying to make fun of it doesn't mean it's not there. I do appreciate the healthy dynamic between the couple tho, it's something you don't see that often.

Well either way, I still find their relationship wholesome and cute. There is going to be troupes and cliches in every genre, nothing we can do. There are feminine gay guys out there and masculine ones as well. Even if the show still has a cute and cool type, atleast they try to throw all the other troupes in the trash. Either way, it was still a fun ride for me!

It is cute (although in my opinion a little boring, it gives me rutta to kodama vibes which I also find boring haha). Well, I don't mind tropes as a whole, I just dislike that trope in particular. I love a lot of tropes and stereotypes, just not that one haha.
