The end is inevitable
Even though i knew it was a possibility, the way it all ended broke my heart. This is an incredible work with one of the greatest representations in BL history.

Things I liked:
1. Acting. So good it felt real.
2. Scenery.
3. LGBTQ+ representation. I can really appreciate how this series shows so much about the real struggles all LGBTQ+ folks have to endure and go through. In my opinion, they did an incredible job at doing so.
4. Sexism representation. While I love that this series shows so much about the struggles that LGBTQ+ people go through, I also truly respect that they show the struggles other parts of society go through.
Specifically, I can greatly appreciate how they show what a lot of women go through with Mori Naomi and Kayano Shiho.
They both are female characters that are here to show/represent so much more than just being a female side character. That's why I really love this series so far; it's portraying real-life problems.
5. Postpartum depression representation. Even though it wasn't that long of a moment, it really is a big deal, and I love that they included it here.
6. The ending. While of course I had my moments of hoping for them to have their happy end together, I still loved the way everything played out, and I think they did their best.
Things I disliked:
1. Terrible communication on Itsuki's part. Sleeping with someone in your ex's house where you live for free because you have no job is a ballsy move for sure. I definitely lost a lot of respect for Itsuki after that one. While I understand that they are broken up, there are a lot of other reasons for why he at least shouldn't have brought this guy into Yuma's house.
This moment actually shook me, I genuinely didn't expect something like that to happen.
I really think it wouldn't have killed Itsuki to have a one-on-one adult conversation instead of whatever this was.
