If you enjoy feel good stories,this is a must watch. A wholesome story about two boys falling in love, with so many moments that can make your heart melt. It has a great balance of funny, serious, and just adorable moments throughout. If you've never watched a BL, or avoided it because you've heard bad things about common tropes, this is perfect for you. An amazing entry that stays healthy and avoids so many problematic themes associated with the genre.

for it. The focus is of course on Sasaki and Miyano, but you're definitely able to get invested in the side characters and their own stories. Watching their relationship progress is very sweet, and if you're looking for a comfy watch on a late night this is perfect, no matter how experienced or new you may be to the genre.
If it was up to me, this would be required viewing for every queer youth. This is one of the best representations of what a healthy young homosexual relationship should be. Even if you're straight, or never really enjoyed BL, I'd still strongly recommend this to any romance fan. This is a classic high school love story with engaging characters abd a romance centered, but engaging plot that can be enjoyed by almost everyone. The anime is clearly tied to fudanshi/fujoshi culture, and is filled with references to it, so if you have a strong aversion to that stuff then you likely won't be able to enjoy it as much. But even if you know nothing about that culture, the anime is just as enjoyable, and you get to learn about stuff you didn't know.
