they need therapy
Hira a shy student with no friends becomes infatuated with Kiyoi, a popular but lonely student at school.
What I Like
Hira is very relatable to me, I too hate icebreakers and am very shy. Although I’ve never stuttered I feel so much empathy towards him. I also love when characters have crushes but are too shy to reveal their feelings. I like that Kiyoi is nice to him sometimes. I also love the pining and the sweet moments between these two.
What I Hate
The worst part about this show is they’re toxic, Hira is a stalker and Kiyoi is an abuser. Kiyoi is were most of the toxicity comes from he constantly uses Hira and is awful to him. I would go as far as saying he’s abusing him physically and mentally. Apart from that they also have no reasons to like each other.
Nitpicks
I hate the portrayal of guns especially in a school setting but maybe that’s just my western perspective. The second male lead was unnecessary as was the "love triangle". The finger sucking scene was so nasty and weird I was literally covering it up with my hand. Whoever put that in, fire them.
