Review

The Black Devil and the White Prince is funny and straightforward. The movie has some severe and just humorous moments. I love the relationship between Yu and Meiko, where they communicate and are trustworthy to each other. I do think the primary guys’ relationship ending on a good note. I do like that you can see maturity with the characters, which is fantastic because most of the time the growth is little to none or just a whole new role created. I would say watch the two episodes series; first, it just give you more information on the characters. I did love the two background guy character; they add a little humor and realistic feeling to the story. I did enjoy the whole movie and the ending. I feel like, at times, there were yaoi moments between Haruto and Takumi. However, I have been watching a lot of BL series and films. My brain is probably still on that mindset. I feel like if they want to pull a plot twist on the audience, it would we find out that Haruto and Takumi are or become a couple. Or, Meiko and Yu become a couple and end with the school finding out but put a scene where the girls who pulled the trick on Yu find out that the Princes are unavailable. Would you watch it again? Most likely not because I was wary about this series because of the different opinions that I have seen on videos and wiki pages/review sites.

Review

Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai is comic series. Akahane Yu moves to a new school where she faces challenges like trying to push herself out of her shell by standing up to people, make friends, and getting a boyfriend. Akahane Yu does this for herself to build her self-esteem after being bullied in her past school. In the new school, Akahane Yu meets a set of boys who are long term friends. One is standoffish, cold, and strict, who Akahane Yu calls a demon or black devil whose name is Kurosaki Haruto. The other friend is charming and sweet, who Akahane Yu calls an angel or a white prince who called Shirakawa Takumi. The show deals with problems like what if two best friends like the same person, healthy relationships, and fear of what-ifs if you look closely at the plot. I do like the Akahane Yu for the reason that she tries her best to make friends and say what she’s thinking. Shirakawa Takumi and Kurosaki Haruto give me a weird feeling like the Shirakawa Takumi has a naughty side by play a fake relationship with Akahane Yu.
Nevertheless, Kurosaki Haruto is toxic by calling Akahane Yu his slave, forcing her to do chores and pushing her/ pulling her hair. But everyone puts walls to protect themselves. Some walls are just harder to break down. I hope that Shirakawa Takumi and Kurosaki Haruto friendship does get ruin by fighting over a girl. In a way, you want all characters to have a happy ending. Would you watch it again? I don’t know since there is a movie that takes place a month after the series. I have to wait and see.

Review

My Lil Boy 2 gave me mix feelings that I can’t explain. I was only watching to see how it would end. I still have second-hand embarrassment for the characters. One of the main problems in this season is S is changing himself for Bella which in the first season Bella had tried and realized that is exhausting to be someone who you are not. I wish that they didn’t introduce new characters like Toy and Mayrin, to have add drama. I wish they had just worked with the characters that they had from season 1. I would say they drew season 2 out for a good reason except for that season 1 was too short of putting all the drama they want in 6 episodes. However, I think this is the writers’ style for Senior Secret Love Series because Puppy Honey 1&2 is the same way. My attention was lost a few time in this show. I was mostly rolling my eyes at the characters for their dumb decisions and what they were saying. I hate that the characters would ask yes or no question like do you like me and then get an answer like I don’t you should change to fit in my life, you should be you.
As an audience member, I just thought how is that a right answer to a yes or no question. If someone you like can’t answer a yes or no question with yes or no, then move on, they are just wasting your time. I love the characters of Bella’s friends, P’Pang and Aom, S, and Taewin. This season just made me love them. I hate Bella, P’Boss, and P’Orn. Would you watch this again? No, I had an awful time keeping my concentration on this show.

Genre

Review

Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy starts very dully and sluggish. It just couldn’t keep my attention, and I got distracted easily at the begin. It has a lot of moments throughout it that is cringy and gives you second-hand embarrassment. However, once I got close to the end of the second episode, it started to catch my attention. I will say that the romantic plotline is lacking excessively, but the friendship plotline has more depth to it. I feel S and his friends had a normal healthy relationship. However, at times, I didn’t like Bella and her friends’ friendship. I did love the personalities of Bella’s friends. I feel as being part of the western culture to watch it has a lot of red flags about an unhealthy relationship. Bella lies, stalks, and forces her self in S’s life. Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy does not have an unsatisfactory ending. Would you watch it again? No, I feel like for me this is just a one time watch.

Review

Water Boyy The Series is entirely different from the movie. I would say wait a few days after watching one to watch the other. The cutest scene in the series is the one with the blind man. I think it helps people realize who is faithful and who is the only here for you for this phase of your life. I felt like sometimes I was like addicted and then other times just felt like it dragged. The female coach gives me creepy pedophile vibes. I think the ending was to satisfies straight people more than the lgbt+ community. I felt like the end occurs rushed. Water Boyy The Series is label as BL but has more plot about the side straight couples than the actual main couple. I think most people fell in love with the relationship between Kluay and Ashi because of all the bad tropes with the main couple. Would I watch it again? Maybe if there was a second season which focuses more on the main couple or the relationship between Kluay and Ashi.

Movie Summary

Yuzuru asked Touji out as a half-hearted joke, not expecting to be taken seriously. Touji accepted, and Yuzuru knew he was like the rest, the relationship began on a Monday, and dumped on a Sunday. What he did not expect were the feelings that went beyond friendship that emerged. It’s now Friday, and the end is approaching. But is it? Yuzuru may be mourning the inevitable, but what about Touji? Friday begins the end, but Sunday reveals all.  (Source)

Genre

Review

Seven Days: Friday – Sunday is the second part of the Seven Days movie series, and I feel like it ended on a sweet note. The movie has the overused plot pointer. The “they don’t communicate their feels which cause a disconnect.” The kisses have a lack of romantic feelings. However, you can look at it like this is their first real relationship which causes the whole am I doing this right feel. I want to say this movie has that innocent and first true love feeling to it. Their passion is what most people who want to fall in love want to have. Would I watch this again? Yes on a rainy day where I want to see the love between two people. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to feel a relationship in a short amount of time.

Movie Summary

Bright and early one Monday morning, Shino Yuzuru asks Seryou Touji out on a lark when they run into each other at the school gate. Seryou, who’s immensely popular, has the odd habit of going out with anyone who asks him out first at the beginning of the week, then promptly dumping them at the end of it. “Anyone” apparently includes male upperclassmen like Shino, and as a boyfriend, Seryou is perfect–unfailingly thoughtful and kind. Shino, obviously, has no intention of being in a serious relationship with Seryou. (Source)

Genre

Review

Seven Days: Monday – Thursday is the first part of the Seven Day movie series. Seven Days: Monday – Thursday is a sweet and innocent movie that shows the emotional part of the relationship. You start to fall in love with the main couple in the film. The ending is a cliffhanger because there is a sequel. The one thing that the summary gets wrong is that Seryou is not the one doing the dumping it the girl he dates that drop him. Seryou does have some drama with his brother’s on and off again girlfriend. This movie showed in Seryou’s point of view of the relationship. You start to see him fall in love with Shino. Would you watch it again? Oh yeah, it shows more of the build-up of a relationship before doing physical things like kissing and holding hands. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch something that is more developed in a relationship. I would warn that the kiss is awkward.

Review

Summerdaze is 4 minutes video about a friend falling in with their best friend. It quick but shows the stages a relationship goes through when falling in love with someone you have always had in your life. It shows the realization about oh crap I’m in love with my best friend. The courage you have to make a move finally. The shock that your friend has when they realize you like them more. The struggle of being separated from each other to think over what has happened. Then the feelings that you have for your friend recuperate back to you. It is lovely and innocent love that we all wish we had. Would I watch it again? Yes, because of it being short, you understand the feeling that these characters have. The actors acted in these scenes naturally. I would recommend watching it for yourself.
