That scream though 🤣

If One Room Angel doesn't hurt me, it's gonna be number one in my heart, body, and soul.

It's hilarious! Angel called upon the power of paper-rock-scissors to get Koki to make the meal, then insulted Koki's face as he told a ghost story that upset Koki enough that he lost feathers.

It's sad! Angel realized that nobody could see him except Kouki and had a deep conversation with Koki about how he could merely be a physical extension of Koki's depression.

But then it's funny again when Koki claimed he won the fight but was stabbed and both the manager and Angel told Koki him being stabbed meant he lost the fight.

But then it's sad again because we met Angel's dad who seems like a really kind man, and Angel is covered from sight in the house by his altar because he is dead.

But then it's funny and sad at the same time when Koki hugged Angel and gave him some of his emotions since Angel claimed he couldn't feel anything, but a kid yelled about Koki because Koki just looked like he was hugging air since no one can see Angel.

But then Koki had a nightmare where all of Angel's feathers fell off and he frantically tried gathering them all.

So Angel woke him up and teased Koki since Angel can feel Koki's loneliness, and they fell asleep together.

It's an emotional battlefield each episode. Should I laugh? Should I cry? Should I stare into the black void that is life? Should I look up and see all the hope each day brings? I have no idea, but just like whatever this noodle roller coaster was, I'm enjoying the ride.

One Room Angel Ep 4 Stray Thoughts

Last week, we met Kouki's mom and learned about Kouki's past. Kouki made Angel literally hide in a closet. He got his brother involved in selling drugs and they eventually got caught up with the Yakuza. Now his brother is one of them and he hasn't seen him in forever. Kouki had a confrontation with the boss of those thugs that stabbed him and beat the crap out of the guy because he was worried about Angel. Angel continues to say the things Kouki needs to hear and they had a cute moment on the roof with sparklers. We left at Angel contemplating the death of a student, and I'm musing on the fact that Angel will have to leave at some point.

Angel is so pretty in a way that feels perfect for this character. His presence was so powerful when he won rock, paper, scissors.

Now he made himself molt because he scared Kouki so bad.

Episode 4: Tears

I think Koki has set up a makeshift swamp cooler.

I was wondering if others could perceive Angel. Looks like the answer is no.

Curious at the intended mythology of a young man who died this way becoming an angel attached to another man who has maybe been slowly doing the same to himself.

Oh wow seeing Angel jump was dark.

Oh, we may know Angel's name. I was curious about the interrogation in the first episode, but it makes sense now that there were two incidents.

The dad doesn't seem like he didn't appreciate his son.

I like this hug. Koki has so many feelings in him, and I'm glad someone can perceive them.

Oh, what does it mean when someone sees how lonely you are and offers to help, and you can't pretend that you're not hurting?

I'm absolutely enamored with this dynamic. Men feel so many things that go unexpressed, and I love that we have a character this deep in himself who can't hide these things. I'm also enjoying Angel's existential crisis and how Koki is struggling with his own conflicted feelings about the dynamic. This show is so different, and I feel like it's helping me reset.

Soooooo . . . . .

I HATE JAPANESE BLS!

They always want me to feel all the emotions, and I don't wanna!

I DON'T WANT TO FEEL ANYTHING!

One Room Angel really beat me up for twenty-four minutes straight.

And told me I'd like it.

I guess I'll fucking see you next week, stupid show, making me feel all the stupid emotions right before the damn finale. Rude ass.

I HATE YOU!

Yay! Fingers crossed for decent subtitles now.

I CANNOT REACH YOU IT'S ON NETFLIX!!!!!!!

ON MEXICAN NETFLIX!!!!! DO​YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME!!!!​ HOW​ GREAT​ THIS IS FOR THE INDUSTRY?? IT'S A QL​ SHOW, A BL FROM JAPAN, AND I CAN SEE IT ALL THE WAY TO MÉXICO.

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

HOLD THE FUCK UP.

Does this mean they have both fell for each other on first sight?

Obviously, Taishin haven't figured it out at that stage because baby boy is a bit a lot naive. Still... 😅😅😅

What are some JBLs you recommend that have good kisses AND a good romance plot

LOL I can hear the pain behind this question, anon. It’s true that a lot of JBLs with a good romance story fail to deliver on the physical intimacy side of things, though that is becoming less and less the norm. I do have some that I think do both reasonably well. I don’t know exactly what “good romance” means to you, but I’m going to assume we’re talking about well-executed romance plots, regardless of the show’s overall genre and focus, where the characters and relationship arc make sense and don’t randomly derail somewhere along the way. Here’s what I got:

I Cannot Reach You

This is a high school friends to lovers (the cream of the crop for that trope, IMO). This is a story about realizing feelings and building the courage to change your most important relationship, so you’ll have to wait a bit to get those kisses but once you do, I think you’ll be pleased.

His

The second chance romance for me. This is a bl film about two men who come back together after a bad breakup and figure out how to make it work. I love them and this story so much.

Old Fashion Cupcake

There’s only one kiss in this short and sweet show, but it’s a real doozy. A super tight workplace age gap romance that knows exactly what it’s doing.

At 25:00 in Akasaka

Two actors who went to college together meet again when they are cast opposite each other in a bl drama, and get tangled up in the blurred lines between their professional and personal relationships. Angst, baby!

The Pornographer

This series features some of the best kissing and sex scenes you will see anywhere in the bl genre, but warning that it’s a twisted and wild ride. There are five installments and you gotta watch them all to see the full picture of the character and romance arcs. It’s so rewarding if you do.

The End of the World With You

From the same mind of the previous entry and similarly hot and wild and weird. This show has more going on than the second chance romance at its core, but it themes come together beautifully.

Tokyo In April Is…

Another second chance romance, this one features a lot of sex but also deals with heavy subject matter, so mind the CWs. It’s one of my favorites of last year and the love story in this one has really stuck with me; it’s beautiful and so hard won.

Love is Better the Second Time Around

This one comes with a disclaimer that it goes off the rails in the final two episodes, but you asked for good kissing so it would feel wrong not to include it. Yet another second chance romance (are you picking up on a theme here?), this one gets two former high school lovers back together as adults to sort out their misunderstandings, lingering feelings, and buckets of sexual tension. It was so good—until it wasn’t.

They literally both looked at the same rubber duck and felt the same feeling, soulmates.

Would like to add, Kiyoi was literally so happy here because he thought Hira was going to confess.

Life Senjou No Bokura Episode 3

i just rewatched kieta hatsukoi and they are so similar in this scene omg,,

The way Amagi is nervous about what's going to happen to Takara but Takara only cares because Amagi cares and you can see how much Takara is trying to be the right person for him.

And now Amagi is telling the sweetest lie to try to cover up for Takara so he can stay popular when I have the feeling that Takara would rather not even try with that.

Tanaka is specifically targeting Amagi because he can sense his weakness, because he knows he can use this against him, because he knows he can manipulate him.

Oh man, the way Tanaka assumes that Takara is cheating on his girlfriend with Amagi and then Takara, as I predicted, just willingly outed them because he's in love and a bit stupid but he had to make Tanaka understand and that was the only way.

Because Tanaka was messing with Amagi because he thought this was just a toke between them, he thought it was nothing more than just a moment and so he could manipulate Amagi into sharing a moment with him only to discover that that wasn't a moment it was so much more.

Katori is the sweetest boy who gives advice and Tanaka is just losing his mind as he realizes what he should have seen and didn't.

I just finished watching the What Did You Eat Yesterday? series (including the movie & special) and I need like NEED a younger Kenji spinoff series. Just 6-8 episodes from late teens -late 20’s as Kenji grows into his queerness, discovers he wants to be a hair stylist like his mom, finds & loses his soul tribe bc friendship can be messy, falls in love for the first time & cheats on his partner, the fallout of that relationship & how it shapes him into an incredibly kind but insecure person. I NEED it please!!!!!!!!!

There's something very specific that I cannot point out about My Personal Weatherman that scratches the specific itch I have. Someone said co-dependency and that's very right, there's also a version of the domestic-ness of their (almost dom-sub) relationship that at the same time feels like the platonic BDSM tag while fully being sexual and it makes me want to scream into oblivion.

I don't post a lot here. I feel uncomfortable. There's a sense of being perceived that I hate while at the same crave. But.... I loooove reading different takes on shows. Especially as someone who has started asian BLs very very recently (December 2023 to be exact. I think somewhere between the 12th to 15th).

I want to watch more. I want to write more. I want to read more. So that's what I'm going to try to do. Hope I keep it going even if I feel tense and scared.

Watching I cannot reach you (japanese bl) on Netflix and I’m only on the fourth ep and THEY JUST KISSED LIKE!???? HE CAME BACK FOR HIM BC HE MADE A PROMISE AND HE KISSED HIM then he fainted in his arms LMAO

one thing about Japanese bls is that they will be ✨thiccc✨ with plot.
