Yeah, this isn't a masterpiece by any means but it's so weirdly engaging. Every week this is the first jdrama from this season I watch as soon as it gets subbed

It's been subbed by aoihachi

Each episode is better than the last and holds important lessons. This may not be the fastest paced or most exciting drama but it is a good one in its own quiet, warm, unassuming way. Yuina Kuroshima brought me here but I'm loving the stories this drama tells. Also great OST - wasn't expecting to see an Eminem song in a jdrama XD

LOL Hugo you're such a Kasumin stan XD

This drama seems to have fallen under the radar bc of the fansubber's... Erratic schedule but this is one of the best school jdramas I've seen, it tackles a lot of issues afflicting teenagers and society at large in a mature if not subtle way. Each episode is better than the last.

Whenever the fansubber has the time or inclination.

Cold, much older hotel manager seduces much young waitress and basically gaslights/plays with her feelings but it's okay bc he's hot

Poor guy must have broken his neck and/or his back for that kiss but it was worth it for the feels

Are you ok?

Damn, this sounds really interesting. Hope it gets subbed.

Is it me or are the dance movies very dad-like? Idk how else to put it XD which is funny and cute to me because Karino is gradually becoming a father figure to Kotaro

Well, I've seen that affection and intimacy in Jdramas is usually just hugs or oddly long amounts of dramatic staring or hand holding. I think that speaks to the culture, which seems to be very conservative and restrained and where open, public intimacy or affection would be not encouraged. This doesn't seem amiss to me because as a South Asian, that's very similar to my own culture and country XD

That being said, some Japanese dramas and movies go too much in the direction of showing intimacy, and they're always... Interesting to say the least.

But like... what's the plot? What are all those volumes and episodes gonna be about XD

Episode 7 is out: https://twitter.com/Luwuang/status/1396472284504805383

you can get all the episodes with English subs from bagikuy or justpaste.it/nsbc2

Imo, jdramas are more enjoyable because they're very strong in the writing, acting and depth department more than kisses, skinship or budget. it's all about give and take XD
