takara needs a bit more sparkle
Wasn't bad, but wasn't particularly impactful either. key tags: school life, senpai and kohai (senior and junior), stoic seme
Spice Meter 2/10: You could watch this with your mom lol, there's nothing here to be shy about. There is a few on screen kisses! But they're pretty flat and closed mouth. Honestly the sexiest peak of this show was when Takara caressed Taishin's ankle lol.
Story 7.5/10: The story here was cute, but really felt it's strongest episodes 1-3, then the pacing started to drag. Taishin's character is very strong and we fall in love with him quickly, when the story revolves around him the show is at its best. Unfortunately, Takara never has that affect for me. He is so stoic and despondent that the show becomes very boring when we venture into his storyline. This makes enjoying their relationship rather difficult, as it feels kinda one-sided until the very end.
Acting/Cast/Chemistry 7.5/10: I'm rating this a bit than I should maybe because I absolutely LOVE Taishin's actor, Konishi Eito. He is ADORABLE, and he plays the whole shy uke character very well without giving it the very cringey "erm..." vibe. Takara's actor isn't bad and he's very cute, but he just really lacks any depth. Their chemistry is meh. I mean, some scenes have a romantic feel to them, but it feels like Taishin likes Takara a LOT more than Takara likes Taishin. It would have been nice to see more mutual attraction, or some chasing on Takara's part. He never really takes the initiative. We don't get to see them being very intimate.
Music 7/10: Nothing really stuck out to me.
Rewatch Value 5/10: For me personally I don't have much desire to rewatch this.
Overall 7/10: It was okay! Not much else to say about that.
