#JAPANESE BL SERIES

The hands that grasp and love and cling and need.

[red-hibiscus]

Something I love about Love Is Better the Second Time Around is that both of their reasons for feelings betrayed by each other are understandable.

Miyata thought Iwanaga wasn't taking him seriously because he saw him joking around with his friends. So obviously he doesn't trust Iwanaga. Miyata thought Iwanaga saw him as just some silly joke.

Iwanaga on the other hand was very serious, but wasn't able to communicate that. Even if eloping was kind of a joke, a part of him was serious about it because it involved Miyata. He saw it as his chance to show how serious he was and looked forward to being alone together. When Miyata didn't come he felt betrayed. He must've thought "oh, I guess I'm not that special".

Miyata seems to have moved away soon after that so they must've spend over a decade without any communication/resolve. For Iwanaga, he ended up wanting Miyata and being even more direct. For Miyata, his distrust only got worse.

I love them

KARE NO IRU SEIKATSU (2024, JAPAN)

Episode 3

Two Confessions. Truth Revealed.

Natsukawa Ryota (SAKAI SHO) asked roommate and childhood friend Tanaka Kazuhito (SATO RYUGA) for a kiss. A kiss to prove a theory of sexuality and interest.

Ryota wanted to know if Kazuhito's lack of interest in the opposite sex translated to feelings for him (or men in particular)

As the request caused discomfort, Ryota back tracked claiming it was a joke. Later confessing it wasn't.

In turn Kazuhito admitted his feelings for Ryota but didn't want to force it or cause discomfort for him.

Note: 2 Likeable Guys. Alongside Perfect Propose, this BL is my favorite JBL of 2024. And isn't it interesting that both are by the makers of OLD FASHION CUPCAKE.

I Became the Main Role in a BL Drama

Binged this series last night. It’s only 3-45 minute episodes, and it was very cute, funny, adorable, enjoyable!

Must watch!

It really felt like reading a manga!

Japan is going all in on Adults Being Gay And In A BL and it makes me so happy. I love high school soft sweet romances and the drama of university but there's something about men with careers and jobs and their own homes and their own spaces and the maturity that comes with times but also the pressure and the pain and the growth and the way it all comes together with adults in love, the ways they can look back at where they are and what they've done and they can see how they're changed.

MINATO SHOUJI COIN LAUNDRY SEASON 2 (2023, JAPAN)

Episode 9

This second couple isn't stealing the spotlight from the main...well not exactly but they have experienced more growth in their relationship.

In a similar situation as the main with a similar discomfort of older younger. Asuka (OKU TOMOYA) and Shu (INABA YU) have a sweet date together.

Plus they bring their own guest star...Minato and Shin brought us a piece of OLD FASHION CUPCAKE in a guest role by TAKEDA KOUHEI

Shu and Asuka gives us a good Samaritan in SHIGATSU NO TOKYO WA'S TAKAMATSU ALOHA to help with picture taking. And he looks fantastic. That smile. 💕

KOI WO SURU NARA NIDOME GA JOTO (2024, JAPAN)

Episode 6: The Finale

A love that endured starting in high school and a reunion in adulthood.

Miyata Akihiro (HASEGAWA MAKOTO & MOCHIZUKI HARUKI) has felt something for his senpai Iwanaga Takashi (FURUYA ROBIN & NOSE RIN) since he met the devastatingly gorgeous young man in school.

But due to the machinations of outside forces the two endured a painful split.

Now in adulthood the two reunite for a business proposition where one sees the potential for connection, the other fights against it. But ultimately Miyata (HASEGAWA MAKOTO) could not fight the desire he felt for a boy he met years before.
