Watched this way back then but just wanted to share a review regarding this anime/movie. Personal rating on this one is slightly higher than how it's supposed to be and the main reason is the music. Plot-wise is pretty debatable but the music is just masterpiece.

Going back to the plot, I actually like the modern twist one and I initially anticipated for it to be like the classic "Beauty and the Beast" movie but besides the characters and the chase after the misunderstood beast. it's still a lot different from what was anticipated. The conflict lies with some parts of the movie where I find ... myself anticipating certain actions to be done but the plot just didn't itch into that anticipation.

Tho overall, the movie is still enjoyable. The movie taps into great themes and the plot can be really good but if there was room for improvement, the story could've been a lot more better especially with the ending. That's all, definitely recommend this one to watch for fun and discover some great music along the way.

This anime can be off-putting to some viewers especially those who came to look for something wholesome. The show contains certain scenes that may make you cringe by how awful it is especially with how the characters treat Izumi. Izumi, as the main character didn't come as a strong one and even when he tries to prove his resolve, he just always end up being pushed around by the people who are supposed to look after him. The dynamic on Ryouma and Izumi's relationship wasn't that impressive either and felt bland. They had their cute moments, but their relationship could've been a lot better. The ... buildup was just to say "happened so miraculous" or unrealistic considering Ryouma has been breaking Izumi's personal boundaries and did a lot of stuff to him without his consent. If ever, Izumi has a lot of reasons to stay away from Ryouma. Everyone is free to try and watch this one but personally, you're better off watching another BL.
