Kimi ni wa todokanai

This Series top of all i watched bl so far no one can beat this..I already watch thai korean and even chinese bl series and this is my first time to watch japanese and i really love it esp. The actors Haru and Kentaro did a really good job still hoping for Season 2 Or other series that contain haru and kentaro i really love seeing them together in one series..I'm already addicted in their chemistry as couple. I Even follow both of them in their social media accounts because i really love seeing every time i open may social media. I also downloaded tons of their pictures on my phone and Computer.

I found this short series on Netflix by accident and really enjoyed it. I didn't know what to expect and didn't know it was LGBTQ genre - kinda reminded me of "Heart Stopper" ...but set in Japan. I give this show a solid 7 (a "10" rating is only for something exceptional & special). This is not a "must-see masterpiece," but was actually VERY ENJOYABLE.

The show offers an interesting glimpse into Japanese society: eg. How girls "confess" their love for boys and how some things (high school courtship) differ from the West. It's something different from the usual Hollywood offering that makes me dislike certain kids these days. ;-)

Story told well, no boring slow drawn-out moments The acting was not great (perhaps a bit cheezy at times ...they're kids) ...but overall believable and decent. Production is good with some beautiful Japanese scenery. The series goes by quickly (watched the whole thing in one evening) since each episode is only 20 minutes.

The title, "I Cannot Reach You" didn't really make sense to me ...but maybe this is something that was "lost in transation." Note: unlike most shows, the series is NOT dubbed into English ...so at times, you need to be quick on the subtitles; I had to rewind several times to catch the dialogue.

Overall ...I thought it was really cute and even a bit touching.

This is a classic Japanese High School Romance drama. It uses all of the tools you can find in every manga about High School stories. From sending a love letter to your crush at the school, going on a study tour with your classmates then getting under the same blanket with your crush, going to a temple to get a love charm for your crush, to gifting sweets as a way to confess to your crush. You can find them all in this series. The story was unexpectedly sweet and likable, just like the main characters. It was well acted and the plot was delivered beautifully. There wasn't any unnecessary long scenes, so you won't have to worry about getting bored watching it.

This series is simply a work of art, I am very happy that productions like this are created, in a world where Queer relationships are always portrayed from negativity and tragedy, Having this series is simply an honor and I want to believe that it is a mirror of the new queer reality. From the bottom of my heart thank you, all the people involved in this series deserve a lot, my dream is someday maybe be a part of a production like this, thank you for let me see my dream come true.

I forget to say it but I thanks also for showing that the love has not to be hipersexualized, best wishes for all.

It's a slow burn and the pacing is definitely quite "Asian" in Kimi ni wa Todokanai--the title actually translating into I Can't Reach You with Peace--but the two young leads are really fine. The series reminded me of Heartstopper in that it is emotion, not sex, at the heart of what drives the plot: one character struggles to express his hidden feelings and the other must come to grips with the feelings blossoming inside him. There's no mindless sex or inane double-entendre and that saves it from lapsing into rom-com territory: it's simply a story of two classmates who've been childhood friends and then slowly face the reality of what's happening between them. I liked that they're a bit of a visual mismatch, which also placed more emphasis on the emotional side.

There 's a lot of manga-induced "HUH!?" and some fun cultural stuff. Kashiwagu Hari is especially good at the bumbling parts of his role, a natural comic. I think Maeda Kentaro has a tougher job, as his character is supposed to be aloof. I can't say there's much "heat" between the two leads, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.
