omg I cried at the waterfall scene, they're so precious together. I like the character evolution of Ritsu, at first it's really hard not to despise him but then episode after episode he gets more and more likable and for the first time in ep. 7 we get to see how fragile and vulnerable he actually is and that made me like him a lot. I cannot wait for the final episode although I'm sad we're about to say goodbye to this series :(
I really liked this series although I was hoping for a totally different ending for Shishio. I guess one's happiness is very subjective, but for me the guy deserved so much better.
i didn't understand shishio's story arc. i don't think that akaza is ready to not expect anything but a romance…
I totally agree, I honestly don't understand how a gay guy who obviously will never fall in love with a woman decides to be in a relationship with one just because..... he can rely on her? what?! I mean I understand Japan is a very conservative country and is still struggling to even acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people but still... Shishio deserved so much better. And Akaza willing to accept to stay by his side knowing she'll never be loved in a romantic way is probably even more incomprehensible to me. Either way, I suppose the concept of happiness varies from person to person...
omg, I binge-watched the 15 eps. in 2 days... I can't believe it ends like that, right when the best part was about to start! T_T SEASON 2 IS A MUST, PLEASE!
I had really liked the prequels and by the end of them one would even pay (I would) to see them meet again.... and then it finally happens and this is the reaction of Nanfah? What's with that terrible reunion?! I mean, it could be okayish (somehow) If you have never seen the prequels and just started watching the series in which their 10-year separation is sorted out very quickly....
But those who watched the prequel episodes "Phupha" and "Nanfah" know that Nanfah has been looking for Phupha for all those 10 years non-stop. He kept sending him emails telling him about his daily life (crying his heart out, begging for him to reply), went to Australia every single year distribuiting flyers with his face on it asking everywhere, he's been taking sleeping pills for God knows how long (clearly PTSD symptomps), the guy's been traumatized by his best friend leaving him behind with a post-it disappearing into thin air, he literally can't stop thinking about his lost friend but when he FINALLY meets him again he doesn't even shed a SINGLE tear?! You must be kidding me...
That reunion felt incredibly cold but then again I suppose when they made the series they cosidered it as a new project not really taking into account the prequels and If you don't watch them I guess that reaction can be considered acceptable....? Also, not a big fan of the silly/comedic tones they implemented in the series. That being said, I'm curious to know what will happen between Phupha and Nanfah.
