textbook romcom BL

In fact it starts out as a textbook romcom BL, does throw in a bit more dept.
I was wondering how Kimmon would be without his Copter. The scenario for him was good and respectful with a transwoman, an honest kiss would have been the cherry on the cake, but didn’t show. Also good to see Flluqe in the manager role evolving a lot from her Gen Y presence. That makes 2 transpersons put at play gracefully.

Back to the mains, Job plays a villain in movies, would have been good if we got to see that in some clips, what we saw was more of a nice character when playing movies. 10 points for working out a nice chest like he’s showing. Porche is probably the sweetest actor in BL I’ve seen. He has most of the times good chemistry with Job. At first I found the kissing good, but looking further , it came down to a bit of “lip hopping”, no tongue involved (not expecting it in a vulgar way but gentle as Job says at the very end, but nope). Nevertheless their cute time was well spread around the 12+1 episodes.
The coming out from and artist and the consequences was well done and it’s only the second time this trope is used after Love Stage!! in 2022. I must admit, it was a bit more convincing then as here it seems to come across not to damage too much the straight image of the actors (hope this make sense). In a BL the “being gay” is always a tough one, but if played subtle by the right actors it can be convincing.

I say a maybe to a rewatch value or give the actors a chance to play in another BL.
