Manga is better

The beginning of the series was good, not a minute was wasted but in dragged towards the end just to rush the ending.
Liked that they showed their love story from 2 different timelines and the young actors did a decent job but most of the acting was not that great, Ren's friend is a good actor. The chemistry was lacking, the running scenes were really badly done and his mom was confused.
It did have some sweet and heart warming scenes, it was a cute love story, the characters tried to support each other as best they could. Liked that it had some dark themes.
It was ok, enjoyed it for what it was, was rooting for the characters to be together, if it had better actors it would have been a lot better.

I have high expectations

As the manga reader I'd say so far, so good. This is a story about a queer boy and his relationship with his friend that changed one day which led to some circumstances that forced them to separate. When they meet each other after ten years, things take turns and they both must find answers to all their questions while their relationship gets deeper than just friends. I was very much captivated by the manga and can't wait to see how they work it out. The actors, both young and adult are doing great job. Let's hope for the best.

i don’t know….

i started watching it thinking it would be interesting and i was wrong. i only watched the first two episodes because it was such a turn off. their romantic relationship started off way to quick for me… and it just all felt way too rushed. their acting is mediocre and there’s no bgm to set the mood or anything. nothing makes sense in this series. the overall bl definitely had potential but the production team failed miserably lol. i suggest watching the korean bl series, "sing my crush". it’s literally the best bl i have ever seen please check it out!!! <3

Tokyo in April Is.. Beautiful

Tokyo in April is.. is a Japanese BL series that is about Kazuma and Ren who have been friends for a very long time now but they have been separated when they had sex for the very first time with each other. I am not sure if I was able to relay that information correctly but they had sex but things turned awry so Ren developed fear of hurting Kazuma so much but little did he know is that even though he thought that Kazuma is not in love with him, Kazuma looked at him and wanted to really be with him. This is why when they met again, Kazuma easily agreed to be friends with benefits with Ren even though he just really wanted to be with him forever. This is an intense BL story and I think that they did not get enough credit with this one because it tackled very dark themes that needs to be talked about more often than not. The relationship of Ren and Kazuma is complicated and it is a bit darker than usual because there are themes like suicide, sexual assault, and more involved but what I love about this is that they handled it in a different way. They did not make light of it or disregard it immediately but what they is to show how important it is to have someone that you can rely on in moments that you need them. Their relationship is mostly shown in amazing montage of them staying at home being so sweet to each other. The chemistry of these two is pretty good. I love the scenes where they were just being sweet with each other. These scenes are the best parts of the show because it is giving the characters a good time to breath and be sweet with each other but, at the same time, it is giving the audience a chance to have moments with them and just invest with the relationship that we are seeing. This made us root for them so much more which I love so much. I love Ren and Kazuma and I seriously wanted them to be end game because of this. This is why when the story started to tackle the themes that we have, I was already invested with the relationship and wanted them to be together. I really do. The scene where Kazuma learned what really happened to Ren and the way that he responded to it somehow gave me so much hope that Ren will now have someone who will be there for him and will love him no matter what. It is just a beautiful moment. I am not sure why but it felt so romantic to see Kazuma finally fight for Ren after everything that Ren had to go through, he now has someone who he can rely on and loves him no matter what. This is why I fell in love with what ending. It is such a strong ending to a simply beautiful story.

Dissapointments All Around

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Kazuma
T (Employee): Ren

- Beginning: B and T are childhood best friends but fell apart and lost contact for 10 years. T was B’s first love and T is in love with B. T tries to remain friendly and impartial but one night, they ended up sleeping together. This changes the nature of their relationship.

- Middle: After that night, they became friends with benefits because neither of them want this intimacy to end. Despite being friends with benefits, they begin living together, spending all their free time together, acting like real lovers. B is just happy to be with T, no matter what their relationship is.

- End: After going through a series of challenges at work, the series ends with T finally confessing his feelings to B and expressing his worries that B will one day leave him. B reassures him he will not leave.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- There aren’t much angst, mostly because the show is so short. B and T never breaks up or misunderstand each other. Any worries are talked out.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The show is only 8 episodes and yet seemed to touch upon many deep topics that were quickly introduced and quickly resolved. For a short show like this, I feel it’s better to concentrate on the relationship side of things. As for the relationship, I feel we didn’t have enough time to get to know these two, no build ups, no tensions, no reasons why they fell for each other. Under these circumstances, it’s really difficult to root them on.
- The flashbacks doesn’t seem to help me understand the couple at all. And there are way too many flashbacks and they can come out of no where.
- The acting is just plain sometimes, as if the actors were just reading off a script instead of acting out the scene. The directing is just weird sometimes and the lighting and cinematography is just subpar.
- The lack of chemistry between the actors. I don’t know why, it just doesn’t feel intimate or romantic. In the last scene, when B went to kiss T, I saw the latter shrink away a few times. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but it just feels weird between lovers who love each other very much. There is a lack of intimate scenes, which I accept, but the kissing scenes just feel off.
- Usage of miscommunication or misunderstanding as reason for best friends to lose contact for all these years is just so cliche.

**Conclusion**
It’s a very short show that I didn’t like.

Authentic ans simple

That's a type of history that catch you at the first seconds and makes you heart cry for more, it's one most beautiful stories that I watch in 2023, in producion they do a good job that you see they really was engaged and not justing drop a new series, the acting was so good, like at all. All the actors did a good job, the main, the lead, the support every act add a layer to this so well tought out drama. They really makes me interest in read the mangá and for sure I will. The only weak point was the soundtrack, if they add just one strong song I would give a ten. The rewatch value is 10 for sure. I will comeback and I want more.

The only TV series to ever make me cry

When i started, i was sceptical because of the reviews. And that was so wrong. The story was very rich, acting was on point - it looked realistic, not cringe nor underacted. Sensitive topics were approached in a very realistic and serious way. It gave me the same amount of cuteness and romance as a korean series would, but with the japanese seriousness and anxiety. I also enjoy the fact, that there is no power dynamic between the main characters - that they don't fall into the stereotypical tough guyxweak guy thrope. Simply and easily my new favorite series.
