A tearjerker platonic relationship between two broken people who found each other

Highly recommended (TW: Adult-minor but it's rather a platonic relationship, suicide, bullying, violence)
Before the show started, I already read the manga to understand the story better. But to be honest, this is a perfect adaptation of the drama as they made suitable adjustments (Angel's age and A-kun's arc) while keeping the quintessense of the manga. I bawled my eyes out when watching the drama. I cried even more than when reading the manga. It's this year's number 1 tearjerker and I consider this one a sibling of Eternal Yesterday.

The show has perfect directing. They also cast the right actors for each role. The Angel's actor looks like a real angel with that baby face and innocent smile while the Kouki's actor is excellent. Their acting excellently conveyed the heartbreaking story and made me bawl my eyes even though I already know what's coming. The theme songs (OP & ED) are also on point. Please check the Eternal MV of ED song on Youtube. It's another peak and Shuhei is also cast in that MV too.

A well-made classic school rom-com with childhood friend trope

This is a bittersweet classic school rom-com with childhood friend trope but Maeken and Haru make it work so well. I can feel the tingling sensation like a cat rubs her tiny nails on my heart, it hurts but i would pay every thing to experience it again. Maeda Kentaro is so pretty and Haru is always cute. They both have good acting and lovely chemistry both onscreen and offscreen. They always seem to have fun behind the scene. Regarding the drama, it has a good story flow, making us long for next week. The side characters are also cute and play an important role in their relationship development. It has a beautiful theme song too.
But I HATE THE COLOR. The green filter makes every color disappear and it's so ugly.
Overall, I wish this show will have a second and even a third season (but pls change the green filter)

A clumsy love hidden by miscommunication and misunderstanding portrayed by peak acting and directing

Yes, there is love.
As I read up to Chapter 5/6 of the manga, I can assure you all they both love each other. But they have their tiny miscommunication and misunderstanding. There are reasons for both Mizuki's tyrant behaviour and Yoh's upset mood. I don't want to say more because it is a spoiler but you guys can rest assure, they will figure this out themselves and Mizuki will prove that he is a good husband - Yes, husband. Not boyfriend or slave-owner.

The pilot is solid with good acting skills and chemistry from the cast. If you look carefully, Kouhei really pays attention to a portray a double-sided character: changing his voice tones, facial expressions and body language. Atsuki is cute and also have diverse expressions, we can see his frustration, doubts, suffering and even tiny panting when they do it. Kouhei and Atsuki are not playing at all - they are eating!

About directing, we can enjoy this drama as Director Ayaka from OFC , Director Shinju from Jack Frost and Director Emi are doing their best in adapting a smut manga into something watchable for the public while still keep the goodness of the orginal story. The OP and ED video are made by Director Emi and they are pretty. The OP song Traumerei is good but the OP song Nostalgia is the real MVP here because of its upbeat melody with meaningful lyrics tailored to the story.

Rewatch values is 10/10 for me because I lowkey watched it 5 times already.
