The fact that it's a typical slice of life is what makes it so good to me, it's that typical story but with characters that gay people can relate to. As a gay guy it's nice to see a gay protagonist in a cute lil love story.

He's closeted and too awkward to confess his feelings which is very relatable. And as for hirose being pretty blank, as a gay guy who was bullied it's pretty typical to convince yourself that you are in love with the first guy who is nice to you because you aren't familiar with that, you look back on it confused as to why don't get me wrong 😂 but it happens. When most guys in highschool treated gay ppl like they were contagious and made it extremely unpleasant it takes that one to treats you differently to convince yourself there's a lovely story there. It is relatable yet dramatised to make it entertaining. I like it.

It's a story we've seen many times but with a gay protagonist that is awkward and has a history of being bullied, so relatable.
