This is addictive

Was is problematic? Yes. Was the communication a complete mess? Yes. Was it a roller-coaster of emotions? YES. But I loved every second of it. This was sooo entertaining. It reminds me of every good Japanese yaoi (but less toxic, I think) from the early 2000s but there is something special about it. Maybe it´s the combo of the stalker nerd and the tsundere, who ends up having to pursue the former, even though it's hard for him. The popular kid x the awkward outcast but with an twist. The characters are both more complicated than I first thought and are very interesting.

Also, their chemistry is amazing and the actors poured their whole heart into it.
The way Hira acts will definitely make you feel so frustrated though, but the show is self-aware in that regard, we are suffering together with Kiyoi lol.

They are both not exactly healthy but it's funny how perfect they are for each other. Even though it bugged me that Kiyoi was so aggressive and the time skip.
OH THE TIME SKIP. I hate time-skips. Still, at least the time skip here was reasonable and it made sense to have one. (I still have trauma from that one Taiwanese BL, I won't spoiler but if you know you know)

All in all, it´s the best short BL series I´ve watched so far, will definitely re-watch (again...) it some time. And it´s actually way deeper than it first seemed, because it´s about how people are idolizing their crushes, while their crushes are just normal people too and want to be seen as the person they really are.

Btw. if you wondering why it isn't a 10/10, it's because of the weird fake kisses, the fact that the student looked like they finished high school 15 years ago, and the unstable camera, especially at THAT scene in the end at the school.
