considering some of the movies i've watched and dropped, this was a balm to the soul - it was so cute and endearing from the word go... liked both leads - well loved Togawa from the sec he stepped into that elevator, with a devil may care attitude. also never knew i had a thing for the constant half smirk/smile - totally added to his charm.

but what i loved more was the fact that he wasn't the typical ML - he didn't cater to his partner, just cause he was the Seme so he was supposed to let the uke use him as a psychological punching-bag to vent all the wrong's he has suffered up to this point in life. that not the type of relationship i like or am looking for in the romance genre (straight or gay) so loved that even if he was the pursuer and pushed and prodded Shima into admitting his attraction, let alone him being gay. he also made him confront his demon's and didn't go over board and left Shima to figure out what he wanted at the end.

personally i didn't like Onoda, yeah he had good intentions - but i felt that he was too intrusive in a relationship he had no part in. but that's the minus in getting involved in ur work-place, there no boundaries and everyone in the workplace makes it their business to keep updated in the couple life - so was kinda shocked that Shima having been burnt once, still couldn't distance himself from Togawa - but u can't help who u r attracted too so i didn't blame him. but it was plain to the eye to see and kinda funny.

really enjoyed this and really connected with the character's and this for sure a rewatch and happily recommend to all
