Hikari no Naka

Damn, Asaka is really cool!! and his moves are very sleek. He's also part of "Ikemen Series" video that came up in YT recommendation. Gomen Tsuge, I didn't know that you're actually a cool guy! lol. So, actually it's Yuutaro who's not a pro dancer? He looks more like a cosplayer..

Edit: The casts should really do Good Love Your love dance together!!

If based on the original Japanese dialogue, it's pretty clear that Kurosawa means the relationship, because he said "Ore-tachi (we)" then paused before saying "end it here". So in this case he emphasized the "we" that ends. Japanese seldom use subject in conversation unlike English, so when the subject is mentioned, it is usually to emphasize it. And you can also see from the sad atmosphere and expression that it means end of their relationship. Hope it makes sense..

Omg, ok I got it now XD

Guilty? Is it any good?
So far one that I found quite entertaining is Joshiteki no Seikatsu and Joshi kosei no Mudazukai.

Ikuzo--!!

Done.

To be honest, now I can hardly associate drama's Kurodachi with their manga version. It's like they created their own version of Kurodachi (better ones, imo). I don't know how this will impact the manga, since I'm sure many people has grown fond of the drama's version (including myself). But I will still buy the future manga's volume, and hope that they will be made into sequel.

I can't help but appreciate the delicate and tender aspect of this drama. The ED song is written from Kurosawa's perspective and the lyrics says "Your smile is lovely. I want to protect that precious smile of yours". And Kurosawa really holds it true, he would do everything to protect Adachi's smile.
I hardly came across any drama that is capable of being so tender and sweet, but at the same time not greasy or cringey. Japanese drama is really the best in conveying these delicate emotions.

I think we have to stage a riot if they decide to remake CM with that university setting. lol.

I concur. But at least the majority here, even though heartbroken, still can accept this new development as the natural course in Kurodachi's relationship and still being optimistic, which I greatly appreciate.

I feel you my friend *sigh*

Wow, it has been trending on MDL for sometimes now. It's the second time I saw Japanese series trending here after Cherry Magic. And both of them have Machida Keita in it :)
I'm one of those who watch this because of Machida and I must say that this is great! The production quality is high and all the casts did a great job. Glad that it is doing very well on Netflix worldwide, it's time for Japanese series to get recognition.

On a lighter note, Kurosawa didn't hesitate to rush and hug Adachi in front of Rokkaku. If he isn't considerate of Adachi's feelings, he would have told the whole world already that Adachi is his beloved boyfriend and angel! ^^

Agree with Usagi, I think they must mean the whole thing will not hurt anyone and the ending will be satisfactory for everyone. So far they have achieved that brilliantly. At least for me, a bit of angst is necessary so that the happiness later will feel more worth it. So please don't lose trust in them yet :)
And remember the spin-off ep? It takes place next year's Valentine day, so you definitely know what happens :)

Thanks Usagi-san, you're the best!

Lol, yeah I'll rewatch them esp Ep 8 and 9, the happy times :)

I completely lost my sleep last night, have more dark circle under my eyes, my head hurts, my heart hurts and I can't concentrate on my work. HELP.

PS: Now fans in all social media wondering how they can survive this week. Any tips would be appreciated.

Totally agree with you. I get that some people are upset with this development, but we must remember that this magic is the crucial and defining issue in their relationship. How they deal with it cannot be taken lightly and needs some kind of emotional things going on for sure. This is the best way to build up the emotions towards the final episode, in which all of them will be resolved. I trust them 100% they won't disappoint us.

It is 100% happy ending, I have no doubt about it. Guys, please trust them!

I think the bento Kurosawa makes in OP is the one that is given to Adachi in this ep. And the message on the rice "Believe yourself", I think it's the ultimate message to Adachi in this drama, just believe yourself and even without the magic, you would definitely be fine!
