BL Title- Kei x Yaku : Dangerous Buddy

My Honest Opinion:

Man this story had everything to be a perfect 10 on 10, but something was always lacking. I mean, I seriously wanted it to be a BL. That would be so amazing. But no. We got bromance. Not that I am complaining. Okay, may be I am complaining a little bit. But I am glad that Shiro and Ichiro both had loads of moments together. It was really heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time. I mean as glad I was that they were always there for each other, I almost had my heart broken into pieces everytime Shiro kept risking his own life.

This story has multiple plot holes. But the one that irked me the most was the fact that they constantly kept showing the bombing incident where Ichiro lost his parents. I mean I get that it was sad but I don't need a reminder of the incident every 15 minutes. And the repeated flashbacks covered about 20% of the entire series if not more.

Overall, the series is an entertaining one time watch in my opinion. Also, special mention, the actor who played Hanabusa Shiro's character. He is the same guy who portrayed sweet and innocent roles like the ones in "Our Dining Table" and "The Man Who Defies The World of BL". Honestly, I watched the series only for him. It was such a breath of fresh air to see him play a character that is so damn different from his past characters. And his hairstyle? Damn. Okay, I'll stop rambling.

Notes

Valentine's Day is a pretty big deal in Japan. Traditionally, women are supposed to give chocolate to men and men are supposed to return the favour a month later on White Day. Many people actually find this exchange stressful because of giri choco, 'obligation chocolate' given to all male co-workers. In recent years the popularity of giri choco has been steadily falling and it has even been banned in many workplaces, and now many women are instead giving friendship chocolate to their friends. The opposite of giri choco is honmei choko (true love chocolate) given in a romantic setting.

Wrapping is super important in gift giving. Pointing this out so you can fully appreciate the chocolate scene!!!

The wedding planner is a cameo by Crazy Coco. She's an ex flight attendant who does comedy videos on Instagram. Please pay attention to the non-Japanese pronunciation of English loan words in this scene.

Sukima Switch: This is the name of the band who contributed the theme songs for both seasons so I left it untranslated. Revival from season 1 plays in one of the scenes.

Nukazuke: A type of preserved food made by fermenting vegetables in rice bran (nuka). The pickling bed is called nukadoko. Nukadoko is a living organism that you can keep using forever as long as you take care of it. There are nukadoko that have been passed down for generations.

Takenoko no sato & Kinoko no yama ('bamboo shoot village' & 'mushroom mountain') are two types of chocolate by Meiji sold at every supermarket. You have dog persons and cat persons, mountain persons and beach persons, takenoko persons and kinoko persons. So it's not just any random chocolate, it's an ordinary everyday product that everyone has an opinion on.

I felt like walking was a theme in this episode so I tried to retain the expressions.
