Kanata is a popular student who easily blends into the noisy atmosphere of his class, yet he carries a vague sense that something is missing. Akira, on the other hand, is an excellent student who is always alone at school, usually listening to music by himself. The two seem like they would never cross paths, but for some reason, their eyes meet every time they pass by each other. One lunchtime, the two unexpectedly run into each other on a staircase landing bathed in soft sunlight. Being alone together there somehow feels strangely comfortable. In that quiet moment, Kanata begins to open up and share feelings he has kept hidden. In a quiet corner of the school that no one else notices, a relationship between the two slowly begins to grow.

THIS IS ACC SO GOOD

For my first bl THIS IS GOOD. It starts with Kanata being really interested in Akira since he’s like seeing him everywhere at school, so Kanata follows Akira to his secret spot at the rooftop of the school building and they start bonding over music, and kanata is pretty much this popular dude and Akira is this quiet, smart guy, and kanata, from what I’m assuming, doesn’t have the best grades, but he’s really good at football, but then when he was younger he refused an offer from this really good football academy, and he’s been regretting it ever since, and after he experienced a painful injury, yet usually he was always better at everything compared to his younger brother, that is until kanata’s brother got scouted to this academy’s youth team which made kanata’s regret his past choice even more and made him a tad bit jealous, and everyone’s been asking him to join the school football club again, even though he doesn’t want to and he hadn’t had anyone to talk to about it, that is until he met AKIRA AND AKIRA OMG HIS FACE CARD IS SO UGHGHGHG EVEN WITH AND WITHOUT GLASSES HE PULLS IT OFF SO WELL LIKE HIS HAIRCUT IN THE DRAMA IS LOWKEY BAD BUT HIS FACECARD CAN PULL IT OFF. SO NOW KANATA GOT SOMEONE TO TALK TO AND ITS SO CUTE AND NOW IM EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.

is Akira losing his eye sight?!? idk why but…

is Akira losing his eye sight?!? idk why but that's the vibe i got at the end. anyway regarding this ep - cute, a lot of good looking guys & there is a spark between the mains. even though i wondered if Akira really saw Kanata, when their eye's met. or was it one sided & only Kanata noticed Akira. **********************************************************************************************also i don't really get Kanata angst or yearning to be with Akira at the end. i get why he is jealous of his younger sibling & being mean to him - he is frustrated that his younger sibling is better then him or got recognized for his talent. it would rub anyone the wrong way - especially when they younger then u & have been at the sport less time. so i get why he being a "mean girl" but idk - his already relying on or turning to Akira seems a bit out of the blue **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Mizuki is cute & all, but the contacts r freakin distracting, they the only thing i notice when she's on screen. they so big & black there scenes where u can't see the white of her eyes & makes me wonder is she supposed to portray a demon? very weird look -
