She has made sure everyone knows about her donations, which could easily be anonymous, for many, many years.

That's nothing new, either.

Thanks for the effort, but I don't care enough about this topic to take the time.

Yankii can be prostitutes.
Prostitutes can be Yankii.
The labels aren't mutually exclusive.

As I said, I googled multiple sources.
They're not all wrong.
I'm beginning to think you are "wrong." lol

I'll regret asking, but why is forcing your vision of what makes a "Yanki," on others so important to you?

Good to see you around again! :)

Spoken like a true, sex-phobic MDL Church Girl, always afraid of dirty, dirty, really evil, Satan-spawned S-E-X.

Sex is a huge part of life for grownups, child.
Let us all know when you finally get laid.

"...and Shizuka's fine with it."

I don't think he's fine with it, but as with everything else, he reacts like a Sloth or not at all.

"...the ambiguity of what they are to each other is part of the story at this point."

That may be so, and I think you're right, but that aspect is very poorly portrayed.

Spoken like a true Church Girl.

Bingo!
What's weird is that early on, they were banging away, shown having hot sex, but as they move (supposedly) deeper into the relationship, the sex has not intensified; it has dwindled to nothing.
When they say goodbye for the evening or whatever, it's like "oh well, sure, see ya maybe...maybe not...whatever..."

Episode 5:
This gets more boring with every episode.
There is no energy in the story or characters.
Shizuka is passive-aggressive af, but in a slow-motion, dull way.
He even smokes slowly, as a Sloth would do.
The romance takes a back seat to the family drama, but the family drama is nothing we haven't seen a hundred times before, and it's boring, as well.

I seriously love many slow-paced, leisurely films and dramas, but I guess only when the stories they tell are interesting, which this is not.

I had trouble staying awake through this episode.

Episode 5:
This was more entertaining with the pervy, unrestrained lust and attendant silliness.
Now, it's veering into relationship city, and I fear boredom ahead.
I was a little bored with this episode.

And, coming next week, a pedestrian/car incident. Now, THAT'S original.

Sorry, I confused you with the other commenter above. :P

Now, get out of my freaking closet! :)

I already watched it elsewhere, but thank you for responding. :)

I've googled several sources, and I'm confident the dudes in Happy of the End are a type of Yanki. You disagree; that's fine.

Because it's about gay Japanese hooligans, or "Yanki."

I'm aware that it is a BL from start to finish.
I meant that it feels more like a BL drama than a BL movie.

Pot > Kettle

Ahhh...at last I understand. :)

Have you seen "Happy of the End?"

"I hope about "yanki" will be filmed more often."

Why do movies/dramas about "yanki" need to be filmed "more often" if they are already often filmed?
