    unironically my favorite BL series

    This series seriously shocked me! Went into it expecting another forgettable bl story with a predictable storyline but this one was different. I love the actors and i actually laughed a couple of times. Only qualm is that theres only 4 episodes in s1, and 3 in s2. (the 4th is a "behind the scenes" special) in season 3 im hoping for 6 but i bet it'll be good regardless. The show digs a bit deeper into bl's instead of it just being surface level (as in the usual "shy boy x popular star student" combo) and it sortof makes fun of that stereotype. I like that the "side character" gets a love interest of his own, despite swearing to never fall to the BL universe

    overall, i loved this series, and im absolutely praying for a season 3!

    Highly recommended

    It just happened that I read the manga somewhere and shocked that it will get an adaptation. I love how they brought a dozens of beautiful boys and I was screaming for each scenes especially for the ending. This is really worth your time especially if you're an hardcore fujoshi.

    Not a common Bl series. Very unique plot. I quite like it.

    The opening song is such a delight. Very catchy and entertaining to watch.

    Storyline - is very very unique. It is totally different from normal Yaoi series. The show explores fantastically the cliche scenarios only happen in BLs time and time again.

    Comedy - It is very comic. Comic timing of the protagonist is very good. I laughed in this enitre series.

    Cast - Whole cast is smart and handsome.

    Acting- Its Japanese, So there is no doubt that there acting will be any lesser.

    A light hearted series you would want to watch if you don't want heavy plotted things.

    I hope this will have Season 3 too.

    A GOOD WATCH !

    Not worth the time

    I tend to not give low ratings but this BL is not a good one. It is adapted from a manga so I had high expectations from it but it doesn't show anything worth the watch.

    The storyline between Ayato and Tojo is the reason I'm even giving it a 7, otherwise it would have been a 6.

    I mean it just didn't stood up to my expectations.
