    My God what an emotional bomb

    I just binged watched this and let me just say, even though I'm still excited since I finished it 15 minutes ago, I don't think I've ever been this touched in an anime before. It builds up the tension and then when it explodes it leaves you speechless. I loved every minute. I strongly recommend it.

    Heartwarming you AMAZING!

    If you want a BL (Boys Love) anime which will warm your heart, make you cry and WILL make you crave more, look no further! This is the type of High school romance anime anyone would love.

    You genuinely get a feel of what these characters are going through. Their backgrounds get explained but by bit, which makes you realise everyone has their secrets, their sad past that they rather not want to talk about or aren't sure how to express. You learn that communication is key, not only in love, but in healing the heartbroken...

    A true masterpiece. I love BL, but most I've seen are just not really my cup of tea... BUT THIS IS PERFECTION!

    The Drawings Made Me Fall In Love

    The drawings made me fall in love. my heart is filled with different emotions every second of the anime. I do not know what to say. This anime just made me very happy. I really want everyone to watch. Thank you to those who made this anime.

    Definitely a must watch for BL Anime lovers

    Impeccable animation style accompanied by astonishing music. All the songs were so amazing and set the tones and emotions so perfectly and that is the reason I recomment the anime version over the manga. Also, great choice of voice actors. Shintaro Asanuma and Takuya Eguchi raelly sold the characters' personality to me even before the anime explained of their story line.

    The only downside for me was that I didn't see almost any character development in many of the characters. The whole character development only circled around Mafuyu Sato. Also, since a season 2 is never fully guaranteed, I would have liked it if the story line was a bit less messy and more polished. Some characters just came in without doing much and I don't think that little introduction takes away from the original story.

    Give this a chance to make you fall in love with it

    Honestly, it's a really basic premise. But it appears so hard to find a show having gay main characters, yet not making a huge deal about it. The main focus it's somewhere else, the topics are rich and well displayed and the music depiction it's so accurate. I wanted to find something else like this and I haven't found it yet. Not a gay show, but a music-school-show with gay people as main characters. That shouldn't be that hard to come by, but it is, so please appreciate this absolute masterpiece
