I entered with low expectations about this anime given the low overall score that the public threw but i really liked it i appreciate the characters history and animation they are flawed and sometimes painful to watch but they also progress as the story goes and all of them end up with a better understanding of the situation and personal growth as well as coming to terms with differences in views. With parts that werent always satisfying to watch is undervalued and totally misunderstood anime. A frustrating story but it makes sense because thats the premise. Even as it was painful seeing the character meet or fail my expectations was what kept me cannot stopping watching. The innocent Yuma and the seductive Hotaru Takeda an inexperienced and responsible boy and Fujiwara a playboy the story is reduced to these four characters in one complex spiral. 420https://i.ur.com/n3njyOs.png For me the most murky character is Hotaru a psychological torturer masochist and sadist at the same time all in one but that you dont stop loving. The key of the anime for I was watching someone deal with and break out of the tsunami of denials that internalized homophobia forces onto you. I do not often see the internal conflicts that can come with being gay where youre fighting against your own subconscious attempts to reject a significant part of you like Hotarus selfdestructive tendencies or the heartbreaking thought processes you experience while in that Yuma mentality. Sentences like Are you still playing lesbian? Its not a game make the anime really strong and important not making it the typical yuri in a fantasy world but entering into social criticism. 420https://i.ur.com/o8syaaf.png Unfortunately thats the universe a lot of people live in. It seems that acceptance of the LGBT community isnt as widespread yet in Japan so I think its ok to portray such a community exists especially since the characters ended up rebelling against that line of thinking that girls cant be in a romantic relationship. I loved how Yuma manages to overcome that and get a happy ending thats all I wanted. Definitely not a anime for everyone but Im glad I show it. I feel like people arent giving it credit for having girl characters actually realize and admit they they are lesbians in a real world situation where they were dating boys to begin with or by believing that it is a simple yuri ecchi without fanservice and without depth. The anime that concluded with 12 episodes with a 6minute without opening/ending wasnt really NTR but a realistic and complex yuri romance after some entertaining angst
