cute but...

This is JBL is very cute and very open. The only point missing is the makeup department. Sometimes they look young and sometimes due to the makeup and the lighting they do not. Of course it would have been better to have actors somewhere closer to their age to portray them. Especially when you have watched "Takaras Treasure" Eito looks soooooo much younger. This is my only major gripe with this series...

Overall it was beautifully done, nice pictures, good vibe and yes, they really kiss which is an improvement over so many other JBLs. The story is not the most exciting but still interesting. Of course they serve all the clichés expected from a BL either in words or in pictures. The unique point is a supportive bigger brother.

Of course there must be drama in such BL, which happens on the end of episode 5 when Asamiya says something stupid and I wanted to punch his face immediately. "What is wrong with you?" At least they did not drag that on, it gets resolved with the encouraging words of Asamiyas friend who supports him from the "shadows". Also Mayama is growing, taking initiative and leaving his inferior complex behind.

This was nice and wholesome. As with most JBLs it's a positive story with a postive vibe. Production quality was good, but as mentioned above lighting and makeup were inconstistent. Especially Eito is superb in his role making the comedic bits believable and not cringe. This series is worth binging.
