What can I say... I'm pleasantly surprised this turned out better than I thought. It was a pretty fluffy show and I thought it was gonna stay that way throughout but I stood corrected. They used everything they showed us to build up to the last 2 episodes. Setagawa is a good main character. We know his thoughts and all his problems. He's definitely a worrywart but his worries make sense. He overthinks a lot and analyzes the consequences of being in a relationship with Kousuke. He doesn't just give in to Kousuke, he also thinks of the atmosphere. He's making it a lot harder for himself and he doesn't realize that the way he's thinking for others isn't really what he wanted. The last episode is a great realization for him that it's also okay to think for himself and he really does love Kousuke after all and does not want to lose him.

Kousuke is also one interesting guy. He's very playful and takes a lot of risks compared to Setagawa and he wants to help others a lot but he does not realize that his actions are accidentally hurting Setagawa. He does not mean it of course but his bold personality is a huge contrast to Setagawa's and it ends up building his anxiety. I think he has learned to be more careful of his actions from now on and be more considerate of Setagawa.

Not sure how I feel about the other couple (Kensuke and Hasekura) but they were helpful to Setagawa and Kousuke so they're alright I guess. Rest of the cast are okay-ish.

This bothers me a lot because we never knew what the fucking bartender said.

Overall, the show is pretty good and sweet. I like it definitely and I'm planning on reading the manga. One of the better BL shows out there.

The drama in the last two episodes is not the best (pretty sweet btw) but nevermind. This is a really lovely show.

The comedy is good but they should know how to place it better in some scenes. Characters are pretty realistic. This BL is not at Given level but its better than most BL out there. 7/10 for the anime.

(and with this...I completed 2019 Anime Watching Challenge...I'm tired...)

To be completely honest I really Hate myself for adoring mashahiro x kousuke because of the teacher x student thing and if they hadn't known each other for years I'd probably be more bothered by it but they're just so cute and this was actually a pretty cute bl despite a lot of the intial creepiness in the first few episodes. Idk im just torn, I feel like I shouldn't have liked this bc the relationship is morally wrong.

Kousuke’s letter make me tear up ㅠㅡㅠ♡

I loved how vulnerable Kousuke was at the end. And Setagawa musing that he isn’t perfect but flawed, and yet still his hero, in his own ways. I’m also glad they didn’t go the cliche route of Setagawa’s mum changing her ways/making it up to him, he will always not find love from her, but he now has love from Kousuke, and Kensuke’s family, and their wholesome friends. I’m so glad they got their happy ending, Settie deserves it!!!!!!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Aww, this was so good <3 8/10

I liked how KousukeXMasahiro got together in the middle of the series so we got more lovey-dovey coupley stuff in the latter half <3333 They overcame a lot of obstacles together and it was overall really nice C: The bickering and growing with friends was also a nice touch.

Ending was a little rushed imo? Well, more so it didn't really get the turning point across well on why the letter's content made Masahiro change his mind. That was the only big thing.

Loved this series tho :D
Masahiro's internal monologue always sounds sexy XD Great VA hehe

The relationship is really weird because of the huge ass age gap. Ones a student and ones a teacher..

ok the last 2 episodes were a bit lame. But I can forive everything to this anime. It's not like the usual slice of life romances so the biggest problem is not the jealousy and love rivals. I would watch the anime more though. I liked the student-teacher loves representation too. The opening is awesome too.
