A sweet story about all forms of love

Watched this show by Inukai Atsuhiro. As a big fan of this incredible actor, I couldn't help but follow this beautiful story. A sweet drama about Hozumi Yutaka, a lonely young man who grew up devoid of all forms of love, and who only comes to know the true meaning of that word by living with the Ueda family. The most beautiful message in the manga is that family is something you choose. I thought the entire adaptation was perfect, except for one detail: the way the TV version handled Yutaka's trauma.

The trauma of the main character portrayed by Inukai-kun can never be treated as something silly, because a situation that causes emotional trauma cannot be treated with negligence, and in my opinion, that's how the adoptive parents dealt with this issue. In the original, however large the family was (two older biological brothers and a newborn), this is no reason to ignore Yutaka's isolation caused by his older brother's verbal abuse. What really disappointed me was that Yuki didn't even apologize to Yutaka, and had the cynicism to point out Yutaka as the culprit. This is the only big mistake in this work, which apart from this detail, is perfect. You can't call malice and negligence a misunderstanding

The characters are very sweet and deep.
Yutaka is a rare gem. Inukai-kun was perfect in the role. Her cute, angelic beauty face perfectly portrayed all of Yutaka's emotions. Your smiles, your sadness, your insecurities and your fears. Everything was perfectly matched and well done. I've seen Inukai-kun in several characters, but Yutaka is without a doubt the cutest of them all. I love how, although he grew up without love, his nature never corrupted and he became a person with a kind heart and admirable character.

Tane is a precious cutie. The liaison between Yutaka and Minoru. The instant affectionate relationship between Yutaka and Tane is the sweetest and cutest thing to see, and it makes me smile for free. Both are just beautiful!

Minoru was also great with Hiroki-kun. His pain and concern over taking on the role of a "single parent" is also admirable and very beautiful to watch, as well as the development of his romantic feelings for Yutaka through his kind actions towards his younger brother.

In addition, BokuShoku is a beautiful story where each member of the Ueda family makes Yutaka experience all the ways of loving that until then were denied him forever. Tane gave him the love of a younger brother, Koji embraced him with a true father's love, and Minoru taught him romantic love. The dream family that Yutaka found, and if it weren't for the altered part of the manga, it would be just perfect. I loved it so much and will definitely watch it again
