A sweet BL for when you don't know what to watch
A perfectly average, if a little too slow, Japanese BL. I like that they very quickly discussed their romantic interest for each other and it wasn't made into a huge deal. Two other standouts for me were the main character's female colleague with her easy acceptance and advice and the little plot twist with the phone strap at the end, which was quite charming.
But both the characters behaved a bit too immaturely for their age; I wasn't sure if they were mentally 14 or just way too stereotypically Japanese for me to take for 1 hour and a half. They spent half their time talking to each other apologising for inconsequential things and talking in circles, to the point where it got on my nerve and the romance lost a bit of its magic by the end 😅.
But it's a nice enough palate cleanser of a movie, short and sweet and not trying to do too much, so I would recommend it for a rainy day when you don't know what to watch.
