I'm just worried about the turtle living in such confined conditions; the humans can take care of themselves.

This was a terrific series because we became so invested in the close friendship between Taichi and Kohei that never quite made it to the boyfriend stage though by the end after Kohei declared he liked Taichi (again) and Taichi declared he liked Kohei, it was enough to see them embrace and hug each other, a much needed emotional release.

Calls for a Season 2 should not go unheeded. Someone said that the manga runs to 5 volumes so I'd like to see this run for 5 seasons, a not unreasonable request seeing the material is readily available and apart from the Takumi series, no JBL has had more than two. I say, do it!

You could say the entire episode was Gay Sex 101. Whatever, it epitomises what BL is and with such cute boys kissing and talking about having sex it was all sexy and charming at the same time, but the highlight was Ai's drunken confession to his parents that Yu is his boyfriend - it was hilarious, especially with Yu beside him looking embarrassed and letting Ai just get on with it.

This show is charming and delightful. It's similar to a Thai series (the length, the slow burn of the eventual romance) but without the sound effects. There's Wang's cheeky smile, his new understanding of Tian's childhood and how it affected him and seeing Tian react positively to Wang wanting to be closer to him and enjoying his company. Indeed, it's probably the best show to come out of Taiwan this year.

Boys Love Factory has Ep. 6 with subtitles.

Boys Love Factory has Ep. 6 with subtitles.

Even with the addition of Ep. 11, I still want more of this.

I am pleased to report that the entire series from Eps. 1 to 7 is now available on Boys Love Factory.

I think this is a first that everyone is complaining that the forthcoming probable kiss between Neal and Sea is coming too quickly. If the build-up to it is right, then it won't be.

Hmm. Adorable isn't a word I'd use to describe this series but it's an easy brainless watch, a definite improvement on the first episode, with one pair now a couple and the main pair about to assume that status. I find those two girls an unnecessary distraction and one of them hoping to snare Kla is like reaching for the moon. I wonder when she'll get the message.

I can't answer that. On BLF, it says 10 eps. but of the existing 6 there, only Ep. 2 is available. On KissAsian.cx, only Eps. 1 to 4 have subs, Ep. 5 is raw, no further episodes. As I decided not to watch this series, I'm now pleased I made that decision.

I've put off watching this until now so before I decide whether to watch it or not I read the comments. The general consensus appears to be that it's a mess, full of drivel and badly directed. The Philippines would like so much to be part of the mainstream BL community but unfortunately it rarely comes up with really good stories with many of them centred on misery rather than fun, there are usually too many characters, the dialogue isn't that good and often are not focused enough. Hence, I think I'll give this a miss.

According to World of BL Calendar https://world-of-bl.com/uploads/Main/BL-Calendar-Sep2024.jpg no further episodes are scheduled for September. I don't know why.

This is not as strong or compelling as the usual fare from One31 but as it's just the first episode I'll give it time to settle in and it should improve.

I'm from Australia too and to solve the problem of watching the mainstream BL shows I found a terrific website called Boys Love Factory that has them all - series and movies - for the low price of $10 for 6 months or $20 for 1 year. I highly recommend it. You won't find better value or convenience anywhere else.

No, it's not HIGH CAMP. Camp is rooted in a specifically queer sensibility and has a heightened level of artifice, affectation and exaggeration, especially when there is also a playful or ironic element, whereas high camp is more sophisticated. This show, a serious crime drama with a fantasy element (i.e. the 4 Minutes of the title and its significance) in which characters are frequently shot or die is anything but high camp.

You never know - there might be an extra long last episode like there was for Sunset x Vibes.

When Kohei hugged Taichi he told him his heart was beating wildly and Taichi immediately backed away. That, and what he said immediately afterwards, indicates he is afraid of his own feelings towards Kohei and doesn't want to admit to himself those feelings may be love. This is nothing new. Taichi has had these feelings for a long time and chooses to brush them aside. Kohei on the other hand is in love with Taichi and at the end after saying goodbye and walking their separate ways, Taichi stops, turns around and looks up to find Kohei has also stopped to look down on him from the bridge and then signs to him, "I love you." Taichi didn't indicate he understood that and in next week's final episode we're told they won't meet each other again for quite a while. I think it's too much to hope that when they finally do meet up again, there will be a sudden burst of mutual romantic feelings.

Thank you. It takes a great mind to understand the complexities of this rather bizarre and gruesome drama with so many similar-looking characters, which is, quite frankly, beyond me.

Yes, I remember the killing - with a stone, brutal and blood spattered. The face of the killer was shown but there are so many characters I can't give a name to him.
