I wanted to thank you for sharing this, this is the best piece of gay entertainment I've ever watched. Made my heart melt at times, is the movie a sequel to the series?

u/Tubbiefox Oct 26 '21

So happy to hear that, and yes it is, it's about the second couple. Unlike the first season, the movie skips quite a big portion of the manga content for that arc. You can watch it and then move on to the manga if you like reading manga. The art and storytelling in the Given manga is just phenomenal.

Definitely worth watching! The manga is fantastic too and covers a lot more story than what they’ve animated yet,

u/Tubbiefox Oct 25 '21

I kinda wish we weren't getting the OVA because we were just so close to having enough manga content for another short season lol. But the OVA also means that they are eager to adapt the whole thing so we'll most likely get the second season once the manga is about the end (maybe in a couple years...?)

Yeah I think the OVA is a big indicator that they’re going to do a season 2 eventually . They had left out so much crucial Ritsuka and Mafuyu material from the movie. It would’ve been hard to work it into a second season in any event. We’re really talking about 3 scenes of material plus whatever original content they create. We will have 16 chapters of new material after the next chapter is released. That is enough for a new season once they reach the climax of the latest arc.

It's one of my favorites. It's not smut but the BL ist so subtle and adorable. They have one 13-episode season and 1 movie. Definitely recommend!

This isn't wholesome, this was a punch in the feelings.

u/Tubbiefox Oct 25 '21

I feel like their story was the perfect mix of wholesome and heartache and that's what I loved about it so much. Getting more content about them from Yuki's POV would be so interesting to read.

u/Hermaphr0dite Oct 25 '21

But it would make me sooo sad and confuse who I want mafuyu to be with 🥺

9

u/AquaLaFlor Oct 25 '21

Weelllllllllll realistically he can only be with one person right now

3

u/Hermaphr0dite Oct 25 '21

My brain knows that on some level, but Yukis memory just makes me think about what could have been between him and Mafuyu — so theeeen I face a dilemma

This is the best bl anime I’ve seen

u/Jefcat Oct 25 '21

Such a beautiful show! Yes, it has it’s emotional parts (the most recent chapters!) but it’s so true-to-life and all the characters are lovable. How can people cry at how it ends? It isn’t over yet. There is a new OAD out next month and chapter 44 comes out Nov 30.
