I loved this. Short and sweet. Definitely one of the better ones l've seen and may even be my favorite Japanese BL. It was well-written and well-directed. The casting was great: two actually good-looking actors with great on-screen chemistry. The acting was good, too; there were still some awkwardness here and there, especially in intimate scenes (BL guys just never quite know what to do with their hands, do they?), but overall, it was some pretty solid acting from the whole adult cast. I made the mistake of reading the manga halfway through the series run because I got impatient with the weekly release. It was a mistake because I robbed myself of the otherwise worthwhile experience of going in blindly and being pleasantly surprised by all the good things that a well-done show can offer. While I loved the manga and this faithful live action adaptation, I really think I would have enjoyed this a lot more if I didn't have the source material in my head as I watched it. Nevertheless, ! loved the series and I can't wait to rewatch it in one sitting this time.
