I liked it - it has the same director as Mr. unlucky has no choice but to kiss and since it is set in HS there will be no problem with romance. Japanese BL are always very PG so HS setting can really work in their favor. Story seems pretty simple and straightforward. As for acting - I need to see more to make up my mind. Also - OST is super catchy!
So... after 9 episodes of nothing happening - we finally had the promised NC scene and a brief moment of happiness before they send us to the beginning of this vicious circle? At this point, I am not sure who is crazier - a person who made it or me who watch it...
And I'm not really sure where the problem with the script is coming from, there are some excellent scriptwriters…
Script might not be a problem - it have all elements in theory. But storytelling and editing is a mess. While Sea and Jimmy have cutie - fan service moments that don't feel like romance they want to sell us.
I should have known what the comments were gonna look like considering some people views on Mames works. Despite…
People are very touchy when it comes to dub-con so it's no wonder. And when it come to Mame works... she is great when it come to writing character but some of her plot-twist or storylines ( yes I mean Don't say No) needs some polishing. Anyway I also liked first episode - since it will be 2 book in 13 episodes it will be quite a ride.
TW//rantingTbh, I don't care mostly about their position. Sure, it's nice to see more representation when it comes…
Well, I remember this whole top, buttom discussion from Pacat blog years ago when she was still publishing Captive Prince there and her blog entry along the lines - no matter what I will write I will never be able to please everyone so the only thing i can do is write what suit my characters personality and story I want to write the best. I think we should leave this discussion at that.
Objectively speaking - story idea is not bad - journey to alternative universe to discover yourself and life your best life while you can. Without knowing how much time you have left. Also, opening yourself for love and falling in love with other person soul while he also is in another person body. All this while learning how important are small staff/ gestures and human connection. If this story was done right it would be beautiful and meaningful story - too bad they totally flopped it.
It's boring because there is no element of Alternative World/Multiverse after episode 2 which is what sold me…
πππ Same. I love alternative universe / transmigration / isekai stories so it also piqued my interest. But Ohm and Nanon made me look even more forward to it - my logic at that time was - they wouldn't put popular ship in something badly made or underfunded. So they together with a director were stamp of quality in my mind. And here we are..

After some thought and reading some comments about Wang mom I realized one more of main themes.
Wang and his mother have a special bond - due to the nature of her work, early divorce and Wang father's death. It's not a typical mother - son relationship.
In relationship with Wang will also not be "typical" due to nature of his relationship with Wang mother and especially his "father" whom Wang look so much alike.
They are both looking for Wang father ghost in Wang and try to make Wang stand it for him, in their respective ways.
Mother by treating her son like friend and boyfriend - she is possessive of him and want to control him - not wanting him to walk out and leave her. As her husband did - due to their "difference". Car driving scene - how much Wang mother was against it VS Wang father died in car accident.
While In - felt attracted to Wang from the first moment he saw him due to his psychical appearance and fell into the familiar pattern (which could be seen during balcony scene) he previously had with Wang father.
Wang father who also been in a relationship with these two and needed to choose between them. Could it be that history will repeat itself? Wang reliving his own father dilemma and needing to make his own choices?
Ok in next episode snipped we have Ayan hugged by some woman - can it be Sani? She is new to the school. She is young. She might be an acquaintance/girlfriend of Ayan uncle? Can it be that both of them got into Suppalo School to reveal the secret? Even working together?
This episode was setting ground - I also felt that it over-explained some thing - but then i read YT comments ... and suddenly it make sense why they do it.
