an overwhelmingly positive review (i love school dramas)
Hideyoshi Kan you have my heart. key tags: school life, fluffy, light-hearted
Spice Meter 4/10: There's really not much to worry about here except the kiss I would classify as passionate and we DO see Watarai wearing very little clothing, but nothing that I would consider over PG-13.
Story 10/10: So cliché, so classic, so wonderful. Watching this genuinely I was kicking my feet like a little girl. This makes you feel like you're back in high school with a boy you have a crush on. Very reminiscent of boys over flowers or to all the boys i've loved before, follows the adorable Hioki and his sudden invitation with the four coolest, cutest, most popular boys in class and the coolest of them all, Watarai, has a sudden inexplicable interest in him. The pacing is great, the humor is there, the energy is high. The chemistry between Hioki and Watarai builds gradually, and I think the confession was timed well. The story feels cozy and full of youth mixed with a bit of drama to make it an incredibly easy, enjoyable watch.
Acting/Cast/Chemistry 10/10: I absolutely love this cast. Truly it is stacked with new comers on the BL scene that are all SO cute and great actors. Obviously our hard hitters Fujimoto Kodai (Hioki) and Kan Hideyoshi (Watarai) carry the show and do a wonderful job. I appreciate that they didn't make Hioki a total loser lol, sometimes with shows like this they make the main character a total nerd that has literally no friends and it feels a bit cringe. But Hioki just seems like a normal teenage boy, honestly, all of them do. Watarai doesn't feel overly mature and he stands out without him having to try too hard. You naturally gravitate towards him as a leader. The side cast are all great as well.
Music 10/10: Love the intro and the outro, and the background music is never off-putting or distracting.
Rewatch Value 10/10: Have already watched this multiple times, and season 2 coming out gave me an excuse to watch it again!
Overall Rating 10/10: I truly believe this show deserves the highest praise because there's literally nothing I would change! It's fantastic. 100% worth the watch and I would recommend it to anyone.
