Reading the manga while watching the drama has officially become a habit for me—especially with Japanese BL series. I tend to be a bit slow when it comes to picking up emotional cues and subtle character expressions, so reading their inner monologues in the manga that aren’t said out loud in the drama? Life-changing. It fills in all the gaps and just makes the experience so much more meaningful.
That said... the no communication trope?
Still frustrating every single time. It stresses me out but keeps me watching anyway (help).
Despite that, I’m honestly amazed how the drama managed to cover everything so well without messing up the pacing. Sure, it was short—but not once did it feel rushed. And I’m just so glad the manga is there to give me more of them.
Kouhei is so hot, especially when he calls Yoh.
Like. Seriously. I need more of them.
