The acting in this is turning out to be of so much higher quality than I - respectfully - expected it to be. The chemistry between the leads is insane and I'm so obsessed with this story.

@Sunshineeeeeee I should clarify I don't personally know for sure but there are many signs that, when adding them up, has let me to this conclusion.

1) I've seen several second-hand sources by now say it's a friendship story.

2) I think it's pretty clear from the advertising (or lack there of). "Love story" doesn't appear in the official Netflix description. There is no "romance" tag. The very short trailer we've seen so far was very bromance-coded. LGBT shows have proven popular on Netflix, so if it was romance, why would they create doubt about it? They would probably sell it as such (see 10Dance, for example).

It could still accurately be labed as LGBTQ if one of the characters (most likely Isomura Hayato's) is gay. That's the most likely theory in my opinion.

Been re-visiting this in the new format and man, this gem is seriously so slept on...

I will always be bitter about them marketing this as a romance in the beginning. "A love story between two men."

Yes, there is love in friendship. But the term "love story" is still reserved for romance in my mind.

I will still watch this, I have been waiting for so long, I am excited about the story and the cast and I'm sure I will enjoy it. But the disappointment is there.

What makes the freaky stuff really work is how they are also (already) super sweet and romantic with each other 😭😭😭

Well, that did NOT disappoint 🥵

Girl same ❤

I don't get the constant cousin slander on social media, they're not even blood-related. Maybe controversial but I hope this is toxic af.

They really went ahead and gave us TWELVE episodes and the best ensemble cast in the history of jbl. We didn't deserve it.

Adding Shizuma to my list of lover boys of all time. He's so pure and I love the way he loves. He's my fav since Hagiwara in When It Rains, It Pours.

Oh, that sounds more likely :/

Office setting my beloved ❤️

That's a very negative way to look at the fact that we get 10 episodes 😭

Seeing someone as sweet and pure as Shizuma get hurt is like watching a puppy getting beaten fr.

@Charbonnel Perfectly said!

Interesting... Do you see Chiaki actually in love with AE? I wonder if it's possible to be in love with someone you idolize in that way?

It's so interesting to me why Chiaki would fall for the "alter ego" over AE, his idol. But it actually makes a lot of sense.

AE seems cool but is actually very out of place in his own skin and his own world. Ironically, as his alter ego, he is allowed to show more of his true nature... His clumsiness... His real passion (fashion, not modeling)... which also allows Chiaki to be more comfortable in his presence. So I guess that's why Chiaki's connection with Enaga seems more real even if Enaga is literally weaing a mask (well, wig, but still).

Love how the poster fits this, too: Chiaki is only reaching for Enaga.

I was surprised he said it out loud, but I wasn't surprised he felt it. He had been gushing like someone in love the entire episode and tbh, I felt like it was a bit of a "love at first sight" situation for him.

Yes... It makes sense now why he seems overly dependent on his brother and why he is scared to be in a relationship 😢

I'm in love with the way Shizuma can't stop gushing to himself about Minato being attractive...

"It's no wonder I made a move on him when I was drunk. In fact, even if I wasn't..." 😍😍😍
