Rip the band-aid and cry! We're going down unrequited love lane!
Phew! That was painful. I kind of liked this one a lot. Gorgeous art style, huh! It reminds me of Boy meets Maria art!!
This series revolves around the reality of getting stuck in the middle of being best of friends, other one having feelings with the other; the other not being quite sure what to do, and the idea of eventually becoming lovers but can't move forward because of routine and habit they can't get past through after so many years of practicing it. It was really good, although there are some parts lacking taste, like the I'm-going-to-move-out-tomorrow-if-you-don't-want-a-relationship-with-me trope. Leave some time to breathe with that life-changing confession! It's going to hurt, and it needs a little more time for adjustments. For sure, Suou needs that a lot. Still, this is quite good. I love how unpredictable and unexpected Suou is. I was laughing when he suddenly went berserk about the mess in the room when Ryou was talking about wanting to be in love with someone else. That is so freaking hilarious! Ryou has to figure out what he really wants to happen, though he became too comfortable.
