Not very remarkable
I was on a roll of jbls, and so far I'd really liked the ones I'd seen, but this one broke that streak. The story feels very shallow and I still don't understand when/where/WHY did the main leads liked each other. The whole show it's just one misunderstanding after the other and they don't even make sense. One of the protagonists is an overthinker and keeps crying every 5 minutes without a real reason, and the other one doesn't really have a personality nor a wide range of facial expressions. The friends were more memorable for me.Although the dynamic of the characters was cute, I wouldn't recommend this show nor watch it again, but I know a lot of people think differently, so maybe give it a try if you want.

Love this drama<3
I wish I could rewatch this for the first time. This will always be in my top five Japanese BL dramas. I rewatch this at least once a month. Such a easy watch and a classic. The characters are absolutely adorable. The actors did a great job at portraying each character. I love how carefree Amagi is and how Takara is so protective of him. I really like these not so serious dramas with lovable characters! Wish we could have more seasons. If you haven’t watched it yet then highly recommend it! You will not regret it.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

+ I really fell for the dry humour. It made me laugh several times!
+ I like Agami! He's absolutely adorable and I actually liked his goofiness. :D
+ Also liked Takana. He's calm, but he give off pretty cool vibes.
+ I can absolutely see this made as an anime.
+ Suzuki Kosuke stole my heart. Again. I loved him in Jack O'Frost and his role in this show is really good! His acting is great and he's funny.
+ Tanakas acting was also good!
+ Some dislike the acting of the leads and I can understand this. But somehow I liked the way they act.. ^^' It was really fitting to the dry humour.
+ Overall I liked the characters a lot! It's fun to watch them.
+ I'm a huge fan of inner monologues most of the time and I also liked them in this show.
Dislike/Room for improvement:
- What is the actual plot? What is a chronologically timeline? Lol. I was so confused! There are many time jumps and still after finishing the show I don't get it. It was all over the place and hard to follow. x.x
- It's a bit sad that there aren't any proper kisses. Most of the time they are forced by Takara, which I really didn't like. I'm a huge fan of consent! Maybe it would have been better without any kisses and just hugs. That's really a point that bothered me much, because I'm so sick of people kissing others without permission (while seeing and KNOWING how uncomfortable the other person is, making it just worse) T_T
(Not really a - point for me, but maybe for others): I think it's definitely a show that's character driven and not plot driven. So..it doesn't really happen much plotwise. The whole show is centered around their feelings and thoughts. About how difficult a relationship can be and yeah, it's definitely repetitive. But it didn't bother me much. I see the reviews from others who are annoyed by the show and somehow I can understand this but I definitely don't share this opinion. I had fun watching this (after I deleted it in the beginning after reading reviews, but then decided to give it a try and didn't regret it.) even if I'm confused as hell. T_T

SERIE SIN ARGUMENTO
La serie trata de dos chicos, Takara y Amagi, los cuales porque la serie lo dice, deciden salir juntos. Esto sucede al principio de la serie. Basicamente, Amagi está enamorado de Takara, le pide salir y dice que si. No habría mayor problema con esto si los demás capitulos desarrollaran una trama interesante.Entiendo que han intentado alejarse de la típica trama en la cual dos chicos se gustan y nos van contanto como llegan a hacerse pareja, como el 99% de este tipo de series, y me parece bien, hasta tal punto que la primera reseña que hice de la serie me pareció algo admirable, el hecho de que intentaran hacer algo diferente.
PERSONAJES
Takara: el seme, popular en la escuela, se supone que por guapo? pero que es serio e incluso cortante, no muestra sus sentimientos ante los demás, por timidez supongo, porque tampoco nos cuenta la serie por qué él es así. Decide salir con Amagi porque se lo pide y acepta. Podemos encontrar cierto desarrollo en su personaje, ya que le importa lo que puedan pensar de él sus amigos, hecho en el cual se basará toda la trama, pero tampoco de manera muy fuerte.
Amagi: el uke, tímido, lindo, se supone. Tiene gran falta de autoestima. Su inseguridad ante si Takara le quiere será el otro punto de avance de la trama inexistente. El personaje resulta insufrible, no se si por mala dirección o porque el actor no da para más.
Katori: el amigo de Amagi. Lo definen como "su amigo del alma", hecho que tienen que contarnos, porque la trama para que nos demos cuenta. Es el confidente de Amagi, pero da la sensación de ser un stalker, e incluso manipulador. Resulta un personaje, incómodo de ver, hace que la trama avance, ya que habla con los protagonistas, pero se puede cambiar perfectamente por un ficus, y el resultado sería el mismo.
Tanaka: se supone que es amigo de Takara. Y digo "se supone" porque tampoco lo dejan claro. Muestran algun flashback de que se conocen desde hace tiempo y tal, pero vamos, insignificantes. También lo usan en algun punto para crear algún pequeño conflicto, ya que se entera de que Takara y Amagi están juntos y se sorprende de que se quieran.
TRAMA
Como ya he dejado claro, la serie no tiene trama. Deciden salir juntos, pero Takara quiere que sea secreto, Amagi se molesta porque piensa que se avergüenza de él, pero después nos dice que es porque lo quiere solo para él, y tiene miedo de que sus amigos de enamoren de él (perpetuando roles machistas, en un intento de hacerlo ver sensible y con inseguridades)
Otro conflicto es que Amagi no tiene experiencia en el amor, y se raya todo el rato porque quiere estar a la altura, y Takara también se raya porque no quiere presionarlo. Esta trama se ve varias veces, pero tampoco sabes bien de donde sale la mayoría de las veces. Da la sensación de que la serie se reinicia al empezar cada capítulo, como si se olvidaran de lo que pasó en el capítulo anterior.
Y el conflicto final digamos, puede ser que Tanaka los descubre liandose, y tienen miedo de que lo cuente, pero Takara habla con él y le dice que es su amor verdadero y ahí se acaba la trama.
Otro punto en el que falla esta serie es que no tiene nada de humor. Se define como drama , pero la trama resulta insulsa para mantener la atención durante 8 capítulos. Tal vez con algo de humor hubiera sido más llevadera, o con más drama, pero es que los problemas los resuelven en 5 minutos.
Un gran inconvemiente que encuentro es que viene de la misma productora que Kieta Hatsukoi, y aunque el director y demás sea diferente, es inevitable hacer comparaciones. Los personajes principales son bastante comparables, encontramos el mismo caso de chico popular que no muestra sus sentimientos y chico timido y patoso que se "declara" . En este caso, la serie tiene un muy mejor desarrollo de la historia y los actores tienen mucha química, sin olvidar que el personaje de Aoki es el "uke perfecto", es lindo, es timido y resulta gracioso. Y la trama principal viene a ser muy parecida.
ATUACIÓN
Quiero creer que la direccón de la película no ha sido la correcta, porque es imposible que todos los actores actúen tan mal. Los personajes de relleno resultan insulsos, y los dialogos que desarrollan son puro relleno. Los personajes principales no resultan entrañables, no ha habido ni un solo momento en el cual me creyera lo que están diciendo (también por culpa de la trama)
EN RESUMEN
Me ha desilusionado, podría haberse hecho algo mejor, y la idea no era mala, han intentado variar un poco la fórmula y ha quedado algo muy soso. Podría haberse resumido perfectamente en una película de hora y media y tal vez hubiera sido menos vacía.
¿La volvería a ver? Nunca ¿La recomiendo? No, para nada, mírate Kieta Hatsukoi, es mucho más linda y desarrolla mejor el tema de las relaciones de amor juvenil. O Cherry Magic, que no tiene nada que ver pero es fantástica

my now comfort bl...
PRODUCTION:everything was shot great and everything sounded good. however i sometimes had a hard time telling if a scene was a flashback or not - even on rewatch. i wish there wouldve been a better way for them to show that. the music didn't really stick out to me which is why i gave it an average score.
STORY:
simple but darling. i can understand why people would be disappointed but i am very much a sucker for established relationships / early relationship stories. and although the subvertions are subtle from generic stories i liked them a lot. i only wish there was MORE story so that says something.
CHARACTERS / ACTING:
amagi (nao oriyama) is a cute character - the most sunshine-y character i have ever seen. his actions and behavior never tipped the scale of being annoying to me and i think that is thanks to the wonderful acting job. sure amagi makes mistakes in the series but he's a high schooler! and he learns and grows thanks to them - i wish we could have more time to actually see amagi open up more but oh well...
takara (arata sato) is what really sold me - truly such a subversion from the popular boy troupe. im so glad that we do get his prespective because honestly i do feel like the series would be boring without it. i truly related to takara... i again wish there was more time to see him grow but ehat can ya do :/
together they make such a sweet couple - they are awkward but not in a way thats out of character. moreso that this is their first relationship. i truly appericated that the struggles they were having werent so catastrophic and they were able pretty much resolve each one by the end of the episode. they are so innocent too - makes me jealous of the high school relationship i never got to have. and again - their subversion is subtle but its a huge welcome for me.
the side characters were alright but the standout was definitely katori (suzuki kosuke). he was very funny and it was good for them to invent a way for the characters to talk about their relationship to SOMEONE. i didnt really care for tanaka (komiya rio) like he was fine and well acted. but i didnt really get why he got as much focus as he did other than giving a little more background to taraka's charactee ig?
OVERALL:
anytime i want a simple bl to watch i will definitely pick this one back up again. im not sure if a season 2 is possible but i would love it if it were to be done. i feel like i could watch these two idiots navigate their relationship for ages haha. but for now this will do.

It’s like reading a manga and watching a series in one go.
A no spoilers review. The score 1 to 10 ratings show that this series isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. The series deserves a much higher score. I liked it and really wish for a sequel. It’s Japanese, so it’s different then drama’s from Korea or Thailand. See it for what it is: a simple first love high school series, in a specific Japanese genre. The story is small, but so what - it’s deep love we’re talking about. No real bodywork, it’s real cute and fluffy (holding hands etc.). You’ve got to like and respect that, and the meaning of the series - also in your ratings.I didn’t read the manga. I also didn’t mind the overall scoring of the series, in the way that it would make me not watch the series. I’m very interested in Japanese series, because the are always unique. There’s no plot, no speed and no surprising action. It’s a series with a main role for the colors beige and blue to set the tone. The voice-overs for Takara and Amagi are great in their worth.
As I wrote in the headline: it’s like reading a manga and watching a series in one go. The main characters seem flat/2D in their expressions - like in a manga book, but aren’t. There’s a lot of room for communication and finding out how a first and also very deep love works between them. They make small mistakes and learn. The 2 boys also look like they stepped right out of a manga book. The lighting on their faces is specific, it suits the manga idea. I ‘fell in love’ with both main characters and their personalities. You see their struggle together and alone on being (not) populair, (physical) needs and finding a balance in that. There’s a process of adjusting going on.
The 2 most importend supporting roles seem like boys who could have been on your school, they are real. Their roles are well written and played. I want to see more series with these 2 guys. The chemistry between the four boys was very good.
The going forward and back in the story is not my thing, but suits the story.

история первой любви
Эта дорама очень сладкая. Нравится мне Япония в такой подаче материала. Тот же "Красивый парень", "Прачечная Минато" и очень похожую по школьной тематике "Исчезающая первая любовь". Два главных героя очень привлекательны и демонстрируют противоположные черты характера. Такара сдержан и экспрессивен, но часто прямолинеен в своей речи. Амаги наивен и по-детски неуверен в себе из-за пережитого в детстве. Это чувство ненужности и одиночества добавляет некоторого напряжения сюжетной линии, но оно умеренное, и двое продолжают предварительно исследовать этот скрытный роман. Мне понравилось использование внутреннего диалога, чтобы показать внутреннее смятение этих двух застенчивых подростков. В целом мне понравилось уважение, проявленное более опытным партнером, а также поддержка друга застенчивого персонажа Амаги. Когда дорама закончилась, мне уже было грустно прощаться с двумя персонажами (и их друзьями). Эти персонажи в этой истории именно такие, какими, по-моему мнению, должны быть влюбленные молодые люди. Один уважает и дорожит другим. После просмотра стольких дорам, где молодые люди собираются вместе и расстаются, не задумываясь Здесь мне нравится, что эти отношения направлены на то, чтобы замедлять друг друга и разрешать недоразумения по мере их возникновения. Любовь будет длительной, только если обе стороны будут стараться изо всех сил. жаль, что люди не могут чему-то научиться из дорам и стать лучшими любовниками. они определенно будут вместе навсегда.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
a bit disappointed but still cute
I had high hopes for this Bl but got kinda disappointed, the storyline was cute but the constant misunderstandings were a bit to much, also the story seemed for me kind of untied in the end, I had hoped for maybe a scene in the future and would have liked a bit more character developement. Amagi was always really shy and unsure and I had hoped that maybe he would take the initiative in a few moments just to not make it seem so one sided and i wished for Takara to maybe show a bit more emotion and vulnerability and also maybe a bit more background knowledge about them to really tie the story. I was a bit sad about the lack of information so i didn't feel connected or attached ro the characters like i normally do. All in all i think its a BL that is worth watching because of the unique characters and good if you want something cute and light but not one of my favorites, maybe because of the lack of connection I felt between the characters but feel free to watch it and make yourself yojr own opinion cause its still wort watching!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Great Slice of Life BL
Takara-kun to Amagi-kun (2022) was great because they used defined tropes (cold, stoic guy with cute, funny guy) and brought life to the characters. My biases are, rural setting, slice of life, and odd couples, so I was bound to love it, but the acting, the setting, the friendships put this over the top.Yes, like most Japanese BL, the intimacy scenes are not very natural, but what I did enjoy was, when one character stated his boundary, and need to move slowly, his partner respected this.
I will be rewatching this due to the overall package this series is. It may be too slow for some viewers, but it was like wrapping a gift for me.

Cute and quirky.
Cute, cringe-worthy, hot in a vague way, over-the-top in other ways, but ultimately endearing and human. As in many Anime/BL works, high school is a useful construction for exploring human communication around feelings. But this series seems more sophisticated than most. Love the way competing inner monologues show the vast gaps in perception. Low self-esteem, excessive concern for others perceptions, fear of rejection, impact of childhood on ability to accept love. Some reviewers complain that nothing happens, but what is happening is entirely inside the characters heads. Characters develop a depth of love, learn what they need to do in order to build and maintain their relationship. Develop a larger definition of love that stretches beyond their own needs and even their own relationship. Love that Katori is the voice of the author/adult in the room, gently advising the characters, providing hints to the audience , and making vague snarky comments about the genre. Realistic ? No. But that's not the point.Usually, conflicts in BL seem improbable, that real adults would never have those sorts of misunderstandings over such trivial matters. But in this case, around episode 6, I came to the embarrassing realization that I still think the way Amagi does, even at 3x his age. I wonder whether its just me (probably), and that for others, the typical BL misunderstandings are real to them.
One way to interpret Amagi's skipping around with arms waving and his continuous talking is as hyperactivity, and his constant running away (giving up) as rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD).
Maybe because I related so much to Amagi, I have a certain awe for a series that can speak to me across generations as well as cultures. Thank you Yoshino-san, Oriyama, Sato, Suzuki, Komiya and rest of the cast and crew.
Also, loved the slow beat dance club music brought out whenever there is sexual tension between Takara and Amagi. It was subtle but delightfully camp.

Um clichê gostosinho
Apesar de não ser uma grande produção, é uma história linda, fofinha, cheia de clichês e sem grandes polêmicas, porém que traz reflexões interessantes.Num primeiro momento, não gostei do personagem Takara. Ele me pareceu esquisito, arrogante, frio e distante ao extremo, desnecessariamente extremo... depois do primeiro episódio, quando eles decidiram "namorar", minha visão mudou completamente. Eles decidiram namorar sem fazer ideia do que era um namoro. Apesar de parecer maduro, Takara é apenas um adolescente sem experiência nenhuma, conhecendo o mundo e descobrindo seus próprios desejos, assim como Amagi, a única divergência entre eles é a personalidade, que em Amagi é doce e animada.
Passei a analisar dois garotos, ambos na puberdade, que já é uma época muito confusa, que de repente se veem atraídos um pelo outro e não sabem o que fazer com esse sentimento. Apesar da história ser narrada por ambos, os personagens não conhecem o pensamento um do outro, e apesar do desejo ambos temem cruzar a linha e se magoarem. Um dos casais mais saudáveis que já vi, pra eles, o sentimento do amado sempre vem primeiro, o problema é que muitas vezes eles entendem o sentimento do outro errado, ou julgam algo sem perguntar, por medo ou vergonha.
Gostei muito do amigo de Amagi, super observador e conseguiu entender tudo desde o começo sem precisar que ninguém falasse nada sobre o romance dos dois.
A atuação não foi perfeita, mas não foi ruim. A ost é linda e a fotografia da série é bem feita.
Com certeza indico essa série, são apenas 8 episódios de menos de 30 minutos, super gostosinha e aconchegante.
