I can't open this since I'm still in the office lol but is it the clip with Yo Yoshida? I really wanna check it out for them but I hate the premise of the drama. Have you seen it? Would you recommend it?

*butts in* It's frustrating at some parts but believe me, the ride is really worth it. The ending is rewarding

Yes their chemistry is great but try not to fall into this unhealthy line of thought where you might end up mixing up the actors with their characters. We are enjoying this show and their performance because they are good at their job. I know it will be very hard to move on but try to support them by looking forward to their other porjects too ^_^

*thursday gets closer*
*excitement intensifies*

Why would you be scared? It's cute and wholesome, you'll be fine ^_^

The date is in chapter 3 :

I browsed the drama tag and it looks there are other cute stories if you need more ^_^

I think there's an ongoing fic with them on a date. I can link you if I find it.

I love her so much. She's not given a lot of screentime but her presence is soothing. She's a friend and cares for Adachi in her own way, like a fond big sister. She's very perceptive and is the only one who noticed Kurosawa's feelings. I hope we see more of her as she realizes they got together and quietly supports them.

Thank you so much <3

Hm it's really not the same. Kurosawa didn't look jealous in the preview and in episode 6 he was clearly aware how immature that could be so I trust it will be different here. I also hope Adachi will relax and open up more about his thoughts and anxiety. That could be an interesting "conflict" to have where they end up having a meaninglful convo about it. I wonder if Adachi will ever bring up his power too (I know he does in the manga).

The more I learn about these differences, the more I trust and applaud the drama production for their choices. The characters depiction feels healthier and well thought out.

I know you read the manga so I'm curious about two other things :
1. What are the circumstances of their first kiss? When and who does it first? I feel like the drama won't have one and I'm totally ok with it but a personal preference of mine is for Adachi to be the one initiating, maybe even just a peck on the cheek.
2. Do manga Adachi and Kurosawa ever discuss their boundaries and the pace of their relationship? I keep thinking about the line in the preview about taking things slow. I'd love to see such a conversation in the drama.

Thank you for sharing this. I really love their mindset and their desire to make it wholesome "a work that doesn't hurt anyone" <33

I hope whoever thought of this promo got a raise lol

Yeah, it's clear Kurosawa is physically attracted to Adachi, the hints are there but there's only this much they can show in 25 minutes when the main focus is on emotions and Kurosawa's main steuggle is sorting out his 7-year unrequited love. Like excuse the man for not being horny 24/7 lol

If the mole scene and other examples we presented are along the lines of what you meant then what is even your initial criticism? Tell us a concrete example of Kurosawa being desexualized. I'm sorry but you're contradicting yourself. Make it make sense.

Poor Kurosawa, damned if you do damned if you don't lol

I see but I still don't think CM is doing any of it here. It's just your regular romcom where the main couple happens to be two men. The tone of the show doesn't ask for a focus on the physical aspect so it's not there but it's not completely dismissed either like many of us already explained here.

Exactly, they're clearly going for a certain tone for the drama and Kurosawa's characterization is such that it fits said tone without completely dismissing his physical attraction to Adachi. I honestly don't get the initial comment.

Yeah it puts me off too sometimes. It's not even specific to BL as a genre. Toxic fans are everywhere and it's more noticeable with popular shows

4 holds a very special place in my heart because of Fujisaki's development, it was very important to me and I was very touched to see it acknowledged. Maybe they didn't have enough screen time but I kinda enjoyed jealous Adachi in 5, it was cute to see him clueless about his own feeling lol

Thank you for bringing up asexual people, they deserve respect and recognition too.
