GO WATCH IT!

I love how it feels like a childish romance comic book but it’s self aware. I love Dano and her comedy so much and her condition adds a layer of depth to her. So much mystery and the reveals are really really good, the show takes time with them. I love that in the next scene everything goes back to normal and characters forget things, it’s a nice premise that she’s aware. I also really love the other aware characters (not going more into it). Also goes into mature storylines like abuse (not going more into it) and of course romance. My only issue is characters becoming unaware again, that’s where the show lost me a bit in Episodes 7-10 and at the end but otherwise it was perfect.

My first and probably fav bl

Adachi is a 30 year old virgin can read minds and finds out one of his coworkers is into him, and he’s a man. It’s so interesting with the mind reading and a good romance and story. Some might find the style of comedy cringy or over exaggerated but I simply love it but it was jarring at first.

The characters are amazing with Fujisaki (my goat), Kurosawa is a freak and jealous king and Adachi my little scaredy cat, Rokkaku my hyperactive annoying in a good way son. We also have aroace representation/a coded character and I’m really glad that they exist (not telling you who for plot purposes).

There’s issues with it, the main couple doesn’t kiss and the second couple is so awful and doesn’t even need to be in the show I can’t stand them mostly because they never actually seem in love and have an age gap that makes them incompatible in my opinion.

I have a lot to say

I recommend it because it’s not just a 1 to 1 remake and is its own thing. So compared to the Japanese version these episodes are longer. The extended runtime allows them to flesh out the story and relationships (like a proper introduction to Rock and Rock and Min’s relationship), adds new characters (Dujao as their boss and comedic relief) and keeps more moments from the Manga (which is also quite different from both versions). It also drastically improves the second couple so much that I actually liked them in this version and the main couple is able to kiss in this version.

My issue is that it also strays too far and removes the elements I really liked like the aroace representation for an underbaked straight romance and less strong or more generic personalities from the characters (Pai, Karan, Achi and Rock especially). Even though I still love these characters, especially Pai. I also feel like the actor for Achi calling himself plumb as tofu while being visibly muscular is so funny.
Yes I’ve rewatched it multiple times now, I love this adaptation.
