TOO GOOD TO JUST HAVE 5 EPISODE
Best JBL Drama for me,the story are jut have 5 episode and soo to the point. I love how good ryuji's attitude like he didnt even hate amane when he said he was gay. BUT THE PERFECT POINT IS ON EPISODE 5 HE IS THE ONE WHO SAID HE WANT TO WATCH HANABI JUST TWO OF THEM LIKE MAAAN i wish you were not a fictional character. And amane too when his ex texted him and said he want to meet him he is reject it and said "I ALREADY HAVE THE PERSON I LIKEE". The High school BL drama with no sex and too much skin ship was soo good i love it soo much. i didn't wish for season 2 but if they make it i'll definitely watch it. But now i will rewatch this every time i think about Ryuji's smile.And i like how it start with hanging out together untill sunset and ending it with hanging out until sunrise.
Hope ya'll watch this.

A fluffy story
I wasn't expecting much, but the story started as a fluffy cute teenagers friendship, and ended with a fluffy cute teenagers couple.I loved that they didn't make it too complicated, and relied more on honesty and clarity between the 2 leads.
Both are extremely cute and soft hearted in the series, and even though it was short, it was beautifully depicted.
A good 2 hours and a half to spend with joy and cuteness, without anything rushed or shoved down the viewer's throat.
Amane has a lonely past, but Ryuji-kun makes up for it. And it's lovely.

Could Have Been A Masterpiece
What a joy this series is to watch. It is soft, gentle, touches the heart with its warmth, child-like innocence. Yet, there is something initially very sad about it. It makes you think about how fast children must grow up and sometimes miss out on their childhood; only longing to want to return to it when they discover its pleasures. Its message is a bit cryptic and hidden behind a façade of childlike behavior, but underneath is hiding a child really wanting and needing to be – a child. But the flaw in what otherwise would have been a near perfect series is the astonishingly clumsy and deflated kissing scene. It is awkward and deliberately filmed so as to not show the mouths touching in either kiss. That was a cheap shot and diminishes completely the caliber of this series and its intent. I am not a fan or artistic trickery to show a kiss.You can read my full review of this otherwise great series at BLBliss.com.

Unconvincing romance.
Everything about this drama screams fake and forced romance, starting with the title!One of the tropes I hate the most in BLs is "gay for you only!" and here it starts with the title: If It Is With You...
The plot follows the story of Amane and Ryoji, a couple of high school kids who meet accidentally and become friends. The whole romance is based on their characters and they are just not in synch! Amane is gay, has been sleeping around with older men and hiding his insecurities behind forced joviality. He is willing to tone it down but only if it is with Ryoji! Ryoji, on the other hand is serious and mature beyond his age due to the death of his father and the obligations towards his family restaurant business. He is also excessively kind which breaks Amane's protective walls who falls hook line and sinker for the sweet and non-judgemental Ryoji. When Amane confesses to him, Ryoji is surprised and ends up accepting even though he never considered the possibility of Amane being ever anything more than a friend but if it is with him...
The whole romance felt forced, they tried to make a sweet simple friendship into a love story and that is when the whole drama crashed in my eyes. The sets are pretty, the actors are cute but they have zero romantic chemistry. They are good friends who understand each other but the transition to lovers did not feel natural: Ryuji somehow seemed to be obligated by his own excessive kindness to accept Amane's confession. That felt very wrong. The friendship was great, the romance was awful!

RYUJI IS SUCH A GREEN FLAG AND AMANE IS THE BIGGEST BABYGIRL
This Japanese BL is honestly so cute and wholesome.Amane knows his sexuality but at the same time doesn't? He understands his attraction towards the same sex but he doesn't understand the beauty of it and how amazing love can be. And don't get me started on Ryuji...he's such a green flag ever since the beginning and I love how accepting he is of Amane being gay ❤️😖.
PLS DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GO.WATCH.IT.
- Nothing inappropriate :)))
- Cute and wholesome <3

A typical short BL
This was quite a cute and quick watch, but I don't think it stood out to me or will end up being too memorable. It's very similar to other dramas with this length — About Youth, Blueming — where we see the main characters gradually get to know each other as they heal from trauma or familial pressure. I really like how we got insight into why the main character is so bubbly, but as always, I felt like the shortness of the show really hampered how deeply we could go into their stories.Was this review helpful to you?

Sweet, fluffy and healthy
When you need peace and relaxation, it's a must-watch. The characters are very pleasant and lovable. It's also nice that a serious topic has been raised about how important it is to be accepted by your loved ones as you are. I also like that there is communication between the main characters. The only thing that I didn't like is the ending because it seems that everything is still ahead and I wonder how their relationship will develop in the future.OVERALL:
All in all, I would rate this BL very positively. It is perfect for one night when you want to relax and dive into the sweetness and cuteness.

Short, sweet, bite-size happiness
A lovely short story about 2 boys finding what love is, one with deep emotional scars, and one who heals them. They truly do complete each other in such an endearing and adorable one.One thing I love the most about this series, is the amount of communication and talking they did. Ryuuji manages to coax Amane into being his true self, and talking about his past wounds. He really listens, and only listens, and that's enough for Amane, having someone who tries to understand him.
I love the confession scenes, it really show Ryuuji's character when he puts such deep consideration into Amane's feelings. It wasn't a simple rejection nor acceptance, he accepted his confusion yet at the same time embraced his feelings for Amane. That for me was just beautiful, and one of the most nicely done confession scenes.
The whole series is just fluffy and cute, except when we deal with Amane's past scars. I wish we had more time with this cute couple, and could've explored more of the development of their relationship after they got together, but then again, that's not the point of this story is it?

sweet but boring
i watched cuz everyone would recommend but it was a disappointment.first of all i feel that everything happened too fast and the story was really predictable. i mean, amane didn’t want to fall in love but he fell for the very first boy who crossed his path(?
besides, i didn’t notice an actual development in the main character, ik he’s facing the challenges of accepting his sexuality but that’s all, he doesn’t have any other problems that getting the boy he wants who happens to be a lovely guy

Cute and enjoyable
Ryuji carried this series from average to very good for me. Don’t get me wrong I did like Amane and I found his tendency to mask vulnerability over being gay with humour very realistic for a young kid who’s been hurt by someone he trusts, but I just couldn’t quite love his personality fully. I think at times he was a bit too over the top with the energy and it’s more of a personal preference than an actual criticism of him as a character.I did really love their relationship though and Ryuji is joining my list of BL Green Flags, he was so honest about his feelings and he was an ambassador for healthy communication which made for a refreshing divergence from the usual BL misunderstanding plot lines.

An innocently soft and fluffy story from start to finish.
"How nice it is to fall in love with you."I appreciated how healthy this was. I wouldn't expect high schoolers to have distinguished words to describe feelings and the clunky authentic way these two did it felt very fitting for the setting the show put together. They communicated so well that there was no space for embarrassment and it's just a wholesome time watching two people fall in love by the sea.
I also really liked how chill Ryuuji was in contrast to Amane. I think the actor did a really good job of portraying the laid back nature of his character which fit very well with his profile.
No unnecessary drama or third act conflict that makes me wanna roll my eyes. It has the vibe of snuggling into a soft blanket with a warm drink.
