A Beautiful Summer Story That I Hope Doesn't Break My Heart
I absolutely love the atmosphere of this series. Every episode captures the feeling of summer so beautifully with its bright colours, peaceful countryside setting, and warm sunshine. The family scenes are wholesome, and the fluffy white dog is adorable every time it appears on screen. Like many Japanese BLs, this series finds a great balance between comedy, romance, awkward moments, and everyday life, making it feel relaxing and comforting to watch.
The story follows Natsuki, a high school student struggling with university entrance exams after being dumped by his girlfriend. Wanting to help him, his older sister asks her university boyfriend, Sota, to become Natsuki's private tutor. As they spend more time studying together, their relationship slowly begins to change in ways neither of them expected. The pacing is light, heartwarming, and easy to follow, making it a perfect summer watch.
I am more than halfway through the series and, so far, I am really enjoying it. The plot is light, fun, and full of heartwarming family moments.
However, I am not a fan of cheating, especially when it involves a family member. Natsuki admits that he always ends up liking the things his sister likes, but I really hope this series does not use that as an excuse if cheating becomes part of the story.
The sister is honestly one of my favourite characters. She is kind, supportive, and genuinely cares about her younger brother, even introducing her own boyfriend to help tutor him. If Natsuki develops feelings for Sota, and Sota eventually feels the same way, I have no problem with that as long as Sota ends his relationship with the sister first. But if they secretly fall in love, kiss, or start dating behind her back, then I definitely cannot support it. I really hope the story does not go in that direction because I am genuinely invested now and do not want such a good drama to be ruined.
If you enjoy summer settings, light and fluffy romance, family oriented stories, and the unique charm of Japanese BLs, then this series should definitely be on your watch list. So far, it has been a relaxing and enjoyable watch with beautiful visuals, lovable characters, and a comforting atmosphere. I am hoping it sticks the landing because it has all the ingredients to become one of the standout Japanese BLs of the season.
