A Healing Hug
This show is completely grounded, no flash bang dramatics and very rewarding.The story is primarily from the point of view of Azuma, who is recovering from a mental breakdown. He runs into a former colleague, Kuji, whom he had a one-night stand with and hasn't seen in 8 years. Kuji saves him from an SA incident at a bar, and they rekindle their relationship from there.
This show has been full of rewarding and well-earned growth for the characters as individuals and as a couple. The slow and deliberate construction of the show allows the audience to trust that when we walk away after the final episode, our couple have a loving relationship built on a solid foundation. It's easy to believe in a happy ever after for them.
When the show ended, I felt like I had been given a warm hug, like I had healed along with Azuma and Kuji. It left me wanting more.
