This was adapted from a shounen BL manga, that I think had 8 chapters
This was adapted from a shounen BL manga, which I think had 8 chapters. I'll include a link to the manga, remember everyone this is a shounen BL drama, so not Yaoi. When it comes to Japanese Shounen BL, (Not Yaoi) there are not really a lot of kiss scenes, that happen in the mangas too. Sometimes it has to do with the actors not feeling comfortable with the scenes (whether you guys know it or not, there is quite a bit of actor who has performed in BL shows, who find themselves uncomfortable doing kiss scenes with other males, even though they're in a BL show. This has happened in many BL dramas from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, etc-) or the company that the actor is a part of has set limitations as they don't want the actor's fame to make a "turning point" whatever that means. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys why these things happen in case you come across a BL like that.Overall I really like the show, as I was excited to see it as a drama as I have read the manga a long time ago, there are more mangas that are becoming BL drama. Like old-fashioned cupcake and some other mangas I read.
I would definitely watch this again, and read the manga. It's not meant to be confused with a Yaoi BL, so I reminded myself that throughout the series.
I think everyone should give it a chance, I wanted more for the ending but it is what it is.

Another show that's been adapted from a manga is Senpai, Danjite Koidewa!/ Senpai, this can't be Love! and it's on Viki :)

I really wanted to like this, it is now going to have a movie too
I really wanted to like this series, it was recommended to me, and I thought I was going to enjoy it, I love BLs, but no. I just couldn't enjoy this show at all, the actors did a great job acting in their roles but the plot of the show, the writing, and the no real character development bothered me. I wanted much more for this, and some parts confused me in the series, where I honestly felt like dropping it. I continued watching it till the last episode, and my mood didn't change. If I was Hira, I would have picked the friend who honestly really loved me and cherished me. That was the perfect option, but anyway. This show wasn't for me, but I'm sure it has fans that love it. So I recommend just watching the first episode to see if you would continue it or not. The actors did a great job in their roles; this had nothing to do with them. Just the writing of the series.Was this review helpful to you?
