Stereotyped, really goes nowhere. A generous 4 out of 10 rating from me.

Watched this for my alphabet challenge.

Story about a teacher and a student. One day, the student, shiotsu, tell his teacher he likes a boy. The teacher cheers, cause turn out he also like man. The teacher think the one shiotsu like is him, but turn out another boy name, Hatsukari. So, how their story goes from here...?

Sometimes I really don't understand Japan jokes and what they think as norm in there... Haiz...

Like this story, while we and the rest of the world condemn this as the act of pedofil or predator look for its prey, Japan still make it into short drama...

But why do I still give this quite high score...? I'll write the reason below, but that's also mean SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.

Quite ordinary indeed, the reason why I gave such remark but what really struck me was the words told by one of the male leads, he said All he wanted was ordinary happiness but it was not easy to achieve. Not a verbatim. A story which will show how important it would be to become a courageous person. Accepting yourself for who you are requires a big bucket full of courage. :-)

Predatory Cliche

We have the cliche of the older gay looking to take advantage of the (presumably underage) gay.

The student lead isn’t bad. The whole conversation between him and his crush does not add up with what the crush tells the teacher afterward. It’s like two different people happened.

Ending isn’t terrible, I like the student’s perspective. Could have done without the after credits scene.

Wholly skippable, to be honest. Though the year in which it was made likely has a lot to do with the plot.
