I fell head over heels for Noboru and Hayase! Their connection felt so real—no grand gestures, just quiet smiles and a growing trust. That ending made my heart so full. Forget modern BL; this is pure, unadulterated sweetness.

The twin twist was interesting, but the execution felt rushed. That random girl character added nothing, and the third act resolved too easily. Still, I appreciate that it avoided typical clichés. A decent watch if you're nostalgic for 2000s JBL.

The grainy film quality and flip phones instantly transport you to 2007, which I found charming. The photography duel scene was visually creative, and the soft lighting during romantic moments was lovely. Not a technical masterpiece, but it has its own nostalgic beauty.

I appreciated how the film gently touched on Noboru’s introversion and family trauma without trivializing it. The love story doesn't 'fix' him—it helps him want to live for himself. That said, the portrayal of the twin’s mental health could have been handled with more depth. Still, a surprisingly thoughtful watch for 2007.
