The Middle Aged BL we've been waiting for years for
It has been years since Old Fashioned Cupcake aired and I had long given up hope that Japan would realize that the age-category of 30+ existed for the BL genre. Yes I know that one JBL about a 40-year old dude happened, but tell me was the final memorable? Did not think so unfortunately.
Thankfully, Duty First, Kiss Later pulls through. In these first 5 episodes the story-telling has been solid and doing good worldbuilding of the local community. A true good detective BL in my opinion.
The chemistry is really good between the actors; the tsundere Shiono and the naive Takoi. We're really seeing how these two adjust to each others presence and also the difficulties they have to overcome. Both characters are flawed in their own ways but that also makes it much more interesting to see how they will grow.
As for specific categories; the music is just really fun. It's super hyper and fits the cutesy vibe perfectly. The rewatch value is through the roof once you're hooked & this is some amazing acting from these guys.
