talon_266★★★★☆EP 7Seeing Akihito lose his mind because Sae is ghosting him is so satisfying. He thought he could just play the casual friends with benefits card and not face any consequences.

Synopsis
Good-looking and never lacking for company, college guy Akihito cares a lot about looks, until he gets turned down at a mixer by a girl who'd rather chase after Sae, his handsome and insufferably indifferent classmate. That rejection stings enough that Akihito actually follows Sae out of spite, which is how he stumbles onto something he was not expecting: Sae is gay, and quietly struggling with intimacy in ways he's never told anyone. Instead of walking away, Akihito decides this is exactly the kind of puzzle he wants to solve. What starts as something almost competitive slowly turns into something neither of them knows how to label. The show is based on a manga from Gush magazine, and it does what good Boys Love stories do best: uses the push-and-pull between two stubborn people to dig into real questions about vulnerability and self-acceptance. The tone sits somewhere between slow-burn tension and dry humor, with enough character work to keep you invested beyond the surface-level rivalry. If you've watched Given and appreciated how it handled emotional walls between guys, or if Junjou Romantica or Sekaiichi Hatsukoi are already in your rotation, this fits right into that space. It's not trying to be an epic, but it's a focused, character-driven story about two people who genuinely get under each other's skin, and what happens when that stops being purely antagonistic.

rach_m★★★★☆EP 7When Sae chunked that pillow at Akihito's face I lost it. The voice acting from Sōma Saitō during that entire hotel fight really carried the scene when the animation was barely moving.
riza_hawkeye★★★★☆EP 7I love how the tables turned so fast this episode. Akihito checked his phone and went to the bar and Sae was nowhere to be found. It is about time Akihito felt the burn.
izayoi_259★★☆☆☆EP 7The five minute format is really starting to hurt these emotional moments. Sae crying and running out should have felt huge but the scene was over before it could breathe.

anos_voldigoad_156★★★★☆EP 6Seeing Sae wake up alone in that hotel bed and reach across the empty sheets was so painful Akihito really has no idea how much he is hurting him
diablo_demon_155★★★★☆EP 6Akihito smirking with his sharp teeth while telling the bartender he only takes casual partners was so cold, poor Sae deserved way better after that movie date
tracey_sketchit_337★★★★☆EP 6I felt so bad for Sae when Akihito said he only does friends with benefits right at the bar table Soma Saito sold that painful quiet look so well

yuzuriha_yarn★★★★☆EP 5Sae dropping his icy demeanor the second horror movies come up makes him so charming, especially when he freaks out in the hotel
charmy_chef★★★★☆EP 5Akihito telling a ghost story in the hotel room just to tease Sae was funny but Sae asking for another round to forget the ghosts took me out
cassidy★★★★☆EP 5I died when Sae pulled his sweater over his head at the theater and Akihito realized he endured the whole horror movie just for him
deleted_jl1fqo3q★★★★★VerifiedEP 1
ghosthardware★★★★☆EP 5I lost it when Sae asked for another round at the hotel, just because Akihito scared him with that local ghost story. He acts so haughty all the time, but hiding his face in his sweater at the theater showed his true colors. Watching Akihito completely melt over how cute he was made the whole date feel so special
bloodrayne1023★★★☆☆EP 4Akito staring at Wataru sleeping and wondering about his eyelashes made me laugh so hard. He is so far gone already and does not even realize it
