Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyô ni Shinkôchû

I loved every character portrayal, the story, the imagery, everything. This is a masterpiece.

Sometimes BL is an overused school-kid trope, generally involving engineering majors. This is not that. It's a beautiful story that is well told. An unlikely (from the outside) pair find solace for their loneliness together, and embark on an emotional, twisting journey. No spoilers, but I will say it's sort of a happy ending. It could be happier if it wasn't for some legal discrimination, but that's not something the writers can change alone.

Kudos to the whole cast and crew for making this lovely series.

In this hetero ocean, two fish appear, each with its own sea and deep down they have doubts about who they really are... Japan produces LGBTQ+ projects, ranging from complete strongholds to completely unrealistic pieces based on manga, but still Japanese society as a whole is not so open to human differences on the outside, traditions and uniformity are adhered to. This wonderful piece is proof of how these two characters were shy and approached their inner differences so cautiously. That is why, in my opinion, this series is so different from most others, which offer unreality, fairy tales and often we don't find many hetero characters in the project. Thanks to the director, the entire team and both guys who put that special Japanese charm and absolute REALITY into it, it is civil, HUMAN and for me not 10/10, but 11/10.

Someone here mentions whether the project would have been so highly rated if it weren't for BL. Of course it wasn't. After all, the hetero characters wouldn't have to fumble around so much, come to terms with their difference on the outside, and it would have been a completely normal series.

This show deeply resonates with me. As an adaptation of the manhwa, it captures the raw emotions of love, pain, and resilience in a way that feels profound and impactful. The characters, with their struggles and triumphs, remind me of the complexities faced by many in difficult situations.

Every moment feels authentic, and the chemistry between the actors is palpable. I found myself laughing, crying, and reflecting on these characters' strengths! It's more than just a story: it's a journey of the heart. If you seek something that touches your soul, this show is a must-watch. It lingers with you long after the final credits.

This series is an absolute masterpiece! From the very first episode, it grabs your attention with its stunning cinematography every frame is visually breathtaking and meticulously crafted. The electric chemistry between the characters is palpable, making their interactions feel incredibly authentic and heartfelt. The acting is flawless, with each performer delivering powerful, nuanced performances that bring their well written characters to life. The story is deeply emotional, with perfect pacing that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Every episode builds beautifully, creating a narrative that's both engaging and unforgettable. It's the kind of series you'll want to rewatch over and over, noticing new details each time. Without a doubt, this is a must-watch and a standout gem of 2024!

I've read a lot of BL stories, fanfics, I've watched lota of animes, dramas, and this one is the best one so far.

It's subtle, it's sweet and realistic. There's no dumb humor, no cringe, no caricatural showcase of homosexuality. They start of as friends, and they really care for each other which can be shown mostly in their actions. Words aren't needed. They support and help each other, they look out for one another... The portrayal of emotions is incredible. I love the characters, I love that they're not perfect and have flaws. But they find each other and bloom, realizing there's more to life than they thought. Minase taught Hirukawa that studying and college can be rewarding, Hirukawa taught Minase that not all relationships are meaningless. The slow, increasing love, is very soft and pure. The drama shows hardships and family dysfunctions, too. To me, it's so much more than just a "cute gay show". Also, the story might seem mundane or boring for those who don't see the details and little symbols. You won't enjoy it if you aren't sensitive or empathetic. I enjoyed every second of it and watched it all so fast because I got glued to the story... I'm tired of BL series with no communication, with toxic relationships, awful jokes and unrealistic gay stereotypes. "Our youth" is beautiful, sweet, domestic... and realistic. Watch it.
