Another important to watch BL!

My expectations were pretty low but what a surprise it was ! The plot was simble and refreshing, if you want to watch something heartwarming and yet anchored in reality, this is your show !

STORY :
I think the director managed to portray an LGBTQ relationship in a very realistic manner. Even though it was a less than 2 hours movie, the relationship and the story didn't felt rushed at all. While I think the beginning could have been slightly longer, I loved how most of the movie is around their relationship through the years, we don't see enough in the BL industry. One of the element I appreciated the most was how they used the metaphor of the line (like in the title) throughout the film !
Yuuki is truly a ray of sunshine and it was very interesting to see him grow and mature while retaining his unique character.
Regarding Akira.... I think he was the most relatable character, I could really empathise with everythinf he felt and went through even when i didn't agree with his actions.
+ bonus point for the side story of Akira's sister, we need more female character like her !

ACTING :
Everyone did a good job, I think i could relate to Akira that much because of how great the actor played his charcter. The couple wasn't awkward at all and had great chemistry in my opinion.

Overall, this movie/mini-serie is among the best Japanese BL not only for the BL plot but the overall story of growing up and facing new struggles was flawless !
