Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo (2023)

Definitely 1 of my favorite BL drama & I recommended this drama. Naito Shuichiro & Seto Toshiki super duper adorable. Wanna see them again working together in other project.

Definitely 1 of my favorite BL drama & I recommended this drama. Seto Toshiki & Nakata Keisuke super duper adorable. They are besties in real life. I saw them in We Got Married reality show. Wanna see them again working together in other project.

Both of these high school japanese BLs center around a pair of friends. One that is more cheerful and charismatic, the other more serious. One of which has given up on having his gay love requited, and the other asking for time to process his confession instead of rejecting him. Theyre both very sweet and innocent romances, with a straighforward plot just focused on developing and reciprocating feelings.

In both of these series a high schoolboy comes to live on an island and falls in love with a local boy. The main character in both has some kind of painful past or insecurities to work through while opening up to a new romance. The island setting and mood of these series feel similar.

I think they are similar cause both have that "summer/spring" vibe, both have a school setting even through IIWY is set in high school and IHS is set in uni and they are both are lgbtq+.
