Delightful BromCom Avoids Most of the Worst BL Cliches
There' s a lot to like here. The pacing is even and each episode offers new surprises while avoiding most of the worst BL cliches. Special recognition should be given to the inspirational camp sequence where teaching the students that cooperation is superior to competition wins the game. Bravo! The main plot where two more or less straight dudes accidentally think the other has a bromantic interest in him is an interesting premise. We've seen this where one guy has the wrong impression but I don't think I've ever seen BOTH share the misconception. Later, of course, they become attracted to each other. Despite the promising plot, I found the main characters, Aoki and Ida a bit stiff and dull. Aoki plays a bit into the Y-drama effeminate male stereotype while Ida is mostly bland and two-dimensional -- but, on the plus side, Ida isn't the abusive, closeted gay cliche. The question of what two dudes do on a date is asked over and over again, but we never get a really good answer. Instead we get repetitive series of misunderstandings followed by apology scenes, which gets a bit tiresome. The intertwined double love triangles Aoki-Hashimoto-Ida-Aida/Akkun is nicely rendered here, so we never feel like we've left the main story for a side plot. I can't fault the lead actors, who are clearly doing their best with rather dull character development. But don't let my overall rating discourage you from watching this light BromCom. There was a lot of potential here that was not fully developed.
