Kiyoi struggled with the line "I like you." Yohei and Iruma, who were directing the stage, pointed it out to him, leading him to realize that he had never before conveyed his feelings of affection toward someone. "I still remember my high school days. When I saw Hira introduce himself while standing there, I formed a hasty judgment within seconds. However, his direct gaze captured me, as if I was the sole person in the world. It was at that moment I recognized the special sentiment he held, as I observed Hira's wholehearted dedication. " Following high school graduation, my connection with Hira faded, until fate intervened. I lost touch with him, but coincidentally, I came across a photo of Hira as the boyfriend of Yohei's younger brother, Kazuki. As Hira smiled in the photo and beckoned them onto the stage, Kiyoi and Hira encountered each other once again, this time during Japan's graduation ceremony. "I can't forget it. This is how he is. I'm referring to Hira—" (Source: TVDb.com; MyDramaList)

Getting Kiyois POV is so important! Because…

Getting Kiyois POV is so important! Because we get to understand the reasons behind his behavior. They are both so broken because of different reasons and while I'm thinking that love can't heal you, it's terrible nice to watch them together. T_T nothing someone should adapt in their reallife, but in a fictional drama it's definitely interesting to watch. Since I can think about it, I am totally into guys like Kiyoi and his actor did a freaking great job. The little details that show he "cares" about Hira. The little changes in his face when different things happens. Ah, it just melts my heart. ?The flashbacks are still interesting, although we saw it already. But giving them the twist of Kiyois POV makes them even more interesting, because so far we just saw how Hira adores him and get treated like sh*t.Personally I can totally understand both leads. I am a person who's familiar with these kind of dynamics and I can definitely tell how both of them are feeling and why they behave like they do. In reality it's not cute, it's not right and it's definitely not healthy. But I can totally enjoy it in a fictional drama as a teasing fantasy.

I liked the talk he had with Koyama at the end of the episode. The scenes when Hira isn't just quite and looking around are refreshing. I also like that he cares about Koyamas feelings, like..he doesn't want to hurt him more then necessary (necessary like in: he can't force himself to love him back, so it's obvious that he will hurt him, but he don't want to rub it into his face) Koyama is just a poor boy in this scenario T_T he is so nice and caring, but of course he's the one who gets to suffer because of this toxic bond Hira and Kiyoi have. x.x

Finally hear it from Kiyoi's perspective

It's glad to Finally hear it from Kiyoi's perspective. He is a sweetheart honestly. If only he'd stop calling people disgusting or gross, the show would receive way higher rating. I'm pretty sure of that lol...Although, I do really like the way their chemistry is being built. I just feel it can be done in a less toxic way, with less words abuse. Otherwise, I like the tension and all!
Oh, and those ABS!!!!

Kiyoi jadi tokoh utama di episode kali ini, suara hatinya?

Episode kali ini benar-benar membuat cerita menjadi jelas dan detail, dalam episode ini peran utama benar-benar berada di tangan Kiyoi, hampir semua scene difokuskan pada ucapan hati Kiyoi dan semuanya sangat berhubungan dan berkaitan dengan peristiwa-peristiwa dari masa lalu Kiyoi dan Hira sampai sekarang. Scene ini meningkatkan esensi cerita membuatnya menjadi jelas dan lebih bisa difahami serta meningkatkan detail. Na'as, scene ini menampilkan seorang pria baik hati Koyama, dia benar-benar menjadi pria yang patah hati, series ini memberikan satu episode dengan durasi pendek tentang Koyama yang mengetahui bahwa Hira menyukai Kiyoi, seketika menghancurkan hubungan Koyama dan Hira, padahal mereka terlihat sangat serasi di episode sebelumnya. Terlihat dari review episode selanjutnya, series ini sepertinya menggunakan bentuk "fast track" di endingnya, setelah ini ; episode terakhir akan rilis, menurutku isinya akan menjadi tahap resolusi untuk segala konflik yang terjadi, masa romansa Hira dan Kiyoi menurutku tidak ada untuk season 1 ini ; sangat di sayangkan, semua mungkin akan berakhir dengan bersamanya Hira dan Kiyoi, namun satu hal kecil yang mungkin harus ada di scene pada series ini, tolong buatkan Koyama scene yang bahagia, secara - dia adalah pria yang baik.

Fav ep

Wow we got Kiyois perspective, this surprised me. Loved to hear his thiughts and a little bit of his background story. Figures he is socially awkward and a loner too.

Two Stars

if need confirmation that Kiyoi a douche, got a stellar one here - he a mega douche. basically he a narcissist, that cause he was pushed to the side as a kid (not abused or abandoned, just not the center of attention as younger siblings came along. cry me a river - experienced worse and i don't manipulate people, let alone abuse them) has grown into a self centered brat that wants the world to worship him. but even he has come to realize, that even if the world comes to worship him - that "worship" is empty! a cheap imitation of what his ego Really needs!!! **************************************************************************Not the case where Hira is concerned. he loves to call him "stalker, gross and perverted..." (cause showing his true feelings, will show him for the shallow, self-centered, insecure douche he really is) but he loves to bask in that "gross" gaze - cause that utter devotion is something he will never find anywhere else - so he is the bad guy i always considered him to be. *********************like i said from the start. the fact that a bully is bullied, Doesn't justify his bullying! the fact that Hira's a moron, that wants his balls busted by Kiyoi is another matter, and yet doesn't make this whole situation OK.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wish there was more info about Hira to "get" why he developed this doormat mentality. cause this like a child that grew up around abusive parents, ending up with an abusive spouse - this sad!!! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Koyama is a sweetheart and i get why he did, what he did - and it was a good move(!) cause now this whole situation won't be dragged out. he found out sooner rather then later, that Hira's a lost cause. so yeah he's heartbroken, but at least mentally he aint as messed-up as the other two. Aish this drama a train wreck !
