Well, the title itself reveals the main plot: Kiyoshi Adachi gains magical powers in his 30 years old anniversary as the legend about late virgins says. I won't tell you what is the hability, just that it makes this Boys' Love romantic comedy really interesting and fun to watch. We keep thinking about what we would do with this power and getting anxious to know what Adachi will do next and how he will react and interact with people. Moreover, the show is based on a manga written by Yuu Toyota so the series episodes are short, the pace is naturaly faster and there are not that many subplots. I read the first chapter of the manga and it's impressive how the crew perfectly adapted it to the first episode. The actors, essentialy Eiji Akaso (Adachi) and Keita Machida (Kurosawa) are really alike the manga characters, in terms of look and personality. I liked every aspect: the comedy, the romance and the fantasy. The only negative thing to me was a subplot in the narrative involving Tsuge and Minato which wasn't so well developed. Overall, I enjoyed the show a lot and was surprised as this one is the first BL I watched. If you are not used to anime or to japanese shows you might take a while to get used to the acting and language but it's totally worth to give it a try if you like this genre.

The Midas Touch (2020) is a film to watch alone or with a partner as it is an erotical comedy. This is something that made the film quite repetitive to me, the fact that the jokes are almost entirely sexual or related to sex. Nonetheless, the plot is quite nice and cohesive. Felix, the main character, lives a "miserable" life and is just noticed when people want to bully him. This changes when he receives a gift, The Midas Touch, that is not related to gold, but with attracting women. I liked the change in Felix's life and personality, it's well done. The film doesn't take itself seriously and feels like a parody sometimes, what improves the comedy. It also has lines in which the characters act as if they knew they were characters. I liked these breaks and how Tilman Borck got some references from classic films to build the narrative, it was a humble and good act. Moreover, the main plot is predictable but the subplots are not so the film keeps interesting as we don't really know what's going to happen. The acting is good overall and I highlight Gino Wilson (Felix) and Clayton Nemrow (Ron). They are great here and their rivalry on screen is on point. About the technical aspects, they are good. I praise Tilman Borck for acting, writing and directing The Midas Touch (2020). I can only imagine how difficult it is to do so many things and he did a good job, I didn't like it that much but it's a watchable film.
