If you enjoy watching Yutaka's expressive face- which is to say Inukai Atsuhiro's wonderful acting - the Zettai BL specials are all must-watch! His beautiful face transforms to reflect all the different aspects of obliviousness, confusion and ultimately acceptance. The tone of the two series are very different but both have a warm, gentle center and make you fall in love with Inukai.
