A beautiful sad love...and so much more.
First of all I just want to say that this series blew me away! If you even lost somebody you loved you can definitely relate to it. Well...to be honest even if you are luck enough to say that you've never lost a loved one, you will be moved by this story.
PLOT: Our narrator, Mitsuru, guide us through the entire 8 episodes. He starts by telling how his life changed after meeting Koichi. They were in the same class, but didn't know each other. Mitsuru is a classic smart sad loner, and Koichi a nice popular jock. Since the first time their eyes met, they fell deeply in love. Koichi did everything is his power to get closer to Mitsuru, and it took him a while to do it...but they became inseparable.
Unfortunately, while walking to school Koichi gets hit by a truck (those fucking white trucks that loves killing our beloved characters AAAHHHH **screams in pure hatred**) in front of our boy Mitsuru. Its pretty clear that Koichi couldn't have possibly survived the hit, but there he is...."alive" and breathing. Both of them go through an incredibly emotional journey.....going through all stages of grief.
The story was put together beautifully!! Their feelings were tangible....their interactions were 100% believable, even though I knew it was just a series about a walking corpse and his bf. But still it was very moving to watch those boys navigating through their loss and emotions. Definitely a MUST WATCH!
CAST / CHARACTERS: OMFG AMAZING!!!!! Every single actor hit their mark. I don't remember the last time I said that. Just beautiful work from everyone! Koichi and Mitsuru are wonderful! Supporting cast too. Zero complaints from me.
The writers are 10/10. I feel like a broken record but I am at a loss of words. Can't really describe the feeling after just watching it. You have to let it marinate a little....let the emotions settle. What a beautiful series.
