lost in the BL world, help me
This review may contain spoilers
This was my first BL series, so it holds a sentimental value to me. I was lured by TinCan couple as many people before me and was little disappointed when I learnt that this couple was developed rather late in the story. But we're getting season 2 with them as main couple so yaaay, I guess.
The story overall was okay, nothing lifechanging, but cute. Looking back I'm really glad that they didn't go with the typical BL trope - short bottom/tall top. It added new dimension to the story, which is nice. Perth (Ae) was awesome, I really liked his character, but Saint(Pete) was sometimes annoying. Together they had nice dynamics. I wasn't really smitten by them, but enjoyed their cute scenes.
As for the Kengla/Techno couple, I didn't actually care about them too much. Techno was getting on my nerves most of the time and Kengla was a creep.
The Tar/Tum relationship was kinda confusing (mainly because I was confused about Tharns and Types roles in all this mess around Tar, because I didn't read the novel and in the series it was executed rather chaotic) and too melodramatic for me, but I understood it better after watching TharnType the series.
The highlight of this whole piece was TinCan (yes, I'm totally biased). I was destroyed by the ending and actually watched their parts numerous times.
Also I feel like studio Wabi Sabi has this pattern for main couples to be mature, without the confusion mess (I like you, I don't like you, What do I even want?), because in both Love by chance and UWMA the main couples didn't fight with the idea of being gays. On the other hand they throw all this mess on the side couples, which sometimes make them too much to handle(TechnoKengla) and sometimes the best and most interesting part of the series (TinCan, TeamWin - cause let's be honest, I loved them more then the main couples). So I'm kinda scared that for season 2 they'll mess my TinCan ship because of this pattern and basically erase the interesting, messy side of them, if you understand what I mean.
Overall, I liked it, it was my invitation to BL world and for that I'm grateful.
Yeah and I loved Pond.
