this was adorable - well the ending was & hilarious to boot. ironic, as quarter way through, was contemplating stopping, cause of the snail-paced start (talk about slow-burn ugh). add to that, the "look" which puts this somewhere in the earlier 90's with the dated acting skills (was shocked when Keigo tells Tadashi "...they in the 21st century, so u say gay not homo...") & the disjointed plot - was totally disinterested in what was going on.

but then Keigo comes on screen & the dude is such a mood the life of the party (quite literally) he's funny & shameless. hard not to love him, so totally got how Tadashi instantly warmed up to him. when, while reading the description, thought the ones he would warm-up to & confide in, let alone seek advice from would be Hiroki & Sinji.
this was 3 different stories intertwined in each other & it was good that each was wrapped up with a positive conclusion.
but i feel like the plot didn't flow in bits (maybe cause of this, still don't feel elated after watching). Yes the ending was a hoot & loved that Keigo got his dream wedding. that was fun & funny - a Very positive ending that leaves a smile in ur heart, not just ur face.

BUT this far from perfect & it's a shame, feels rushed or lacks polishing ... so more a miss then a hit - but fine for a 1 off
