Casting could have been better

Honestly I'm a pretty easy sell on most of these shows, but the kid who played Amagi was too young, and it seemed super creepy to me that they were talking about being physical with each other. Maybe things are different in Japan, and maybe the age difference wasn''t too much in reality, but the guy who played Takara seemed significantly older than the actor who played Amagi, and the whole thing just made me feel dirty and weird watching it. Amagi was literally skipping through some scenes while Takara never changed his facial expressions. I know that this kind of dynamic is common for Japanese BL shows, but I think the concept was taken too far, and perhaps they should have casted an actor who could have aged a bit during the show and made it feel less creepy in the end. I was hoping they would do a time jump into the future where the relationship seemed less pedo using older actors so I could wash the entire thing out of my mind. The two leads had zero chemistry, for these reason. I thought both of them were charming and I would have loved seeing both of them in other things with other actors. I have read most of the reviews and mine is a lot different for some reason, but I figured I'd put mine out there. No hate, honestly I watched the whole thing but you should be warned it seemed like a 17 year old dating a 12 year old the entire time.
