Shounen no Abyss (2022)

**Spoiler Alert***

Both star actor Araki Towa in a drama that includes him being lusted after by his teacher. Smells Like Green Spirit is BL while Shounen no Abyss is not.

Both of these dramas center around a suicidal main character in high school. Upon finding out about their suicide plans, a teacher at their school offers to be in a relationship with them in order to prevent it.

"By the way, there’s the drama Shounen no Abyss I need to watch, which also picks up on the idea of a teenager trapped in a rural town (the difference being that he doesn't have an "ordinary" life like Kasuga in Aku no Hana). A friend who’s a fan of J-dramas recommended it to me, and it seems really dark, completely unconventional as well."
