I realised you might be right about this.
What you said make me remember what Hira has said at the end of ep 5, that "he can`t go back to the way it was anymore".

The scene in their old school might be only about Hira, like him going to the school to remember for the last time how they were before, to go there before he will take the next step, when he can still control his feelings.
This scene might happen at the beginning of the episode or after Kiyoi gets angry at him at him ( after he ask him that he never tought he might like him). And the following scene at the school, with Kiyoi being there and what happens after might be Hira imagination. But i wonder why did they have to complicate things so much. It may be important for Hira to reflect on his relationship with Kiyoi tough.

Yes. It don't help that much compared to the short one. But is still good to see the complete version of the preview.

I think he will only appear in that scene with Kiyoi and that`s it.
They have to also know they are limited by time, i don`t think he will appear more than this.

OH GOD, you are amazing.
This is what i`ve been waiting to see today.
I am so nervious, i`ll go see it know.

Here you can read the spanish translation of the CD. Is 18+ too, just like how the novel is, it has some explicit sex scenes.
I can send you the link where the CD can be accessed if you get curious how the audio drama actually is. Just write me about it.

Thank you. You are the best, as always.

😅😅🤣

An amazing analysis of this part of Kiyoi personality.
Like, you understood him as well as someone who has read the novel.
Thanks for sharing your toughs on this.

If they don`t show more of why Hira is being like this when it comes to Kiyoi and how his kind of love it actually is, i am sure a lot of people will be disappointed, i will be devastated.
But i don`t think they will change this, because until know they haven`t avoided going deep on how flawed the characters are.

Yes. This part is in the CD/novel too, and i was impressed they added it, since it make viewers really understand more deeply Kiyoi personality. This is also why he is so upset with Hira when they see each other again, he was shocked that even him has choose to leave him.

Nope. Even through Koyama actions were changed a bit in the drama, his personality was portrayed to be really similar with the one he has in the CD/novel, he is as manipulative and selfish as in the source material. And he also won`t give up on Hira easily, until he will see Hira really trying to put distance between them, and at that point he is able to see that he don`t have other option but to give up on Hira.

I had a friend like Koyama and is a bit exhausting being in their presence, because i felt that she has that image and impression of me that i have to be, like i had to force myself to be who she wanted me to be.
Like, because she was always behaving so proper, so correct according to moral rules, i couldn`t have deep and honest discussions with her, because i was afraid that she will judge me.
Like is not her fault, but when you encounter people that makes you feel like this, is not healthy to be in their pressence, because you end up forcing to be a different person than you actually are.

I was bothered a bit too by the additional hug between Koyama and Hira, that has brought even more misunderstanding to Hira and Kiyoi relationship and i wished they cut off more of the discussion between Hira and Koyama since it was a bit too long, but it think it was needed.
Things didn`t happened ideally, but they have the next episode too. As long as the development of the relationship and the acting is good, i am okay with all that they will show us.
They have to have some creative freedom tough, it keeps things more realistic, and not everything that is in the novel/CD will flow smoothly and look good in an adaptation.'
I still have high hopes about the next ep.
Did you checked the two new photos added in the PHOTOS section, because they are stunning.

There is another translator beside Straylations ( who looks like she actually dropped the translation), that is currenty working on translating the novel, and she plans to finish the first novel next month, and will most likely make it public then. I will add her translation in the dicussion thread of the novel i made in this page, when she decides to make it public.
There is also available a CD to listen too, but is in japanese, and the only thing that can help understanding more what it happens in the CD is an spanish trascript of the CD (basically a translation in spanish).

I loved reading your comment, i love reading comments like this.
About Koyama and Hira dating, i was just writing to someone else about this.
There were definitely not dating.
I have the impression from the CD and what someone has mentioned from the novel, that Koyama brother has misunderstood the part where Koyama and Hira were dating, because Koyama has told him he likes Hira, so Koyama brother tought they are already dating.
But, Koyama didn`t bother to solve this misunderstanding, he was content letting his brother misunderstand since he knew it will help him in his pursuit of Hira.
And this is really manipulative and selfish considering Hira personality ( he goes with the flow a lot of times too), since if Kiyoi hasn`t come into Hira life again, is highly likely he would have gone out with Koyama, even through it would have been more likely because he liked how different and kind Koyama seemed to be with him compared with Kiyoi.
I am so proud of Hira for being so clear and harsh with Koyama this episode, at least he is aware of the fact that Koyama liking him is hurting him too, and making him hard to let go, and he is also able to see that him not making things clear with Koyama is hurting Kiyoi. Hira is at least not that hopeless.

This photo is perfect taken, GOD, i am getting all emotional.
I can`t wait to watch next episode.

WoaH, this photo and the other one it gives me goosebumps, they are really touching and impressive taken. I don`t know how to express myself better when it comes to those two photos, they are stunning.

WoaH. Guys, check the new two photos added, it almost gives me goosebumps, they are really touching and impressive taken.
I think the next episode will surpass our expectation after all, even through i have not clue what is with that scene with them in that classroom.

Yes, This scene is really powerful and impactful, hope they wll try to stick to how is in the source material.

Yes. This was really low of him.
