I am enjoying the show, but I also agree with every point you made here.Just in this last episode, I wondered…
My understanding is that the manga this is based on was much smuttier. Sanitizing the source material is another problem common to BL, though in many, if not most, cases, it HAS to be cleaned up to make it onto the air. That said, they often go way beyond what's necessary to clear that hurdle, which changes the character and leads to what we're seeing here.
Before I reply, are you serious or is this tongue-in-cheek?
On any other site, I would agree it was obvious, but MDL is crawling with humorous scolds just like the one you pretended to be. :) Hey, at least I asked before jumping down your throat. ;)
Started off strong, but for a show that stared with fingering and a pretty graphic first time (that old man was…
I am enjoying the show, but I also agree with every point you made here. Just in this last episode, I wondered why Ai, who is seemingly a sweet, horny little thing, is constantly telling our hot CEO that it's too public, or it's too late, or he's already had a shower, etc. My impression of the character is that he wouldn't care about any of those things. The way he's played here is giving Thai hot-slut-to-coy-maiden vibes, which tends to happen after the MC has sex. Suddenly, they're a frigid 1950s American housewife.
The only complaint I have so far is that in the manga, Ai was equally as obsessed and in love with Hideaki, he…
I haven't read the manga, but I know what you mean. I've thought during the last two episodes that Ai was giving the old BL trope of a bottom suddenly becoming a coy maiden once he got laid, and that doesn't seem at all like who Ai is.
Just finished episode 1. How can a series be so comedic and cute, but also so creepy at the same time? That smile...yeah,…
Hideaki? Yeah...I don't get serial killer, but I keep thinking he'd make a great Count Dracula. :) That deep, rumbling voice of his... And his body...wow. That tight suit vest wasn't for nothing. :)
Lord help me. Did you climax while writing this self-righteous tirade?
Firstly, I suggest you get over yourself. Secondly, I have no idea what you're on about in relation to what I wrote.
Rather than scrambling to write incoherent rants more properly located inside a Queer Studies 101 term paper out of a misplaced sense of heroism, your energy would be better spent confronting the very real and escalating possibility that you're a sad wannabe of some sort.
wtf?

Maybe watch it with that in mind and you'll enjoy it.
I do.
I got so tired of Gun and his uke schtick that I avoid his current stuff.
Plus, he always acts the exact same, pouty way.
No, but I can see how it would feel better.
Aren't most things better with lubricant?

These two are adorable.
I love the message that sex for its own pleasurable sake is a good thing. :)
I lol'd twice about the nipples/oil/bandaids. hahaha
13 minutes once a week is a crime.

I guess I missed that. :P
And why do you keep putting "straight" in quotes?
