So many high school setting stories, but this one just shines among them all. Characters practice hella good communication, man you see that kiss scene? That was top-tier right there. Further, Kino is an exceptional character, so amazingly written. He’s so understanding, patient, and loving. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR, MAN’S A WALKING GREEN FLAG. This shit just made me kick my feet like a teen again. Just overall a great story.
I’ve always been drawn to stories like this, and the fact that sensei researched so much to fully embody a person with a stutter that’s grounded in reality. And of course, Takashina who got a little lost when it came to supporting Roku, but damn he went out of his way to just be there. It’s a feel-good story that centers around the importance of patience in a relationship.
Oooooh that hits the spot…
Put together mister overworked and poochy the googly-eyed man and what do we get? A feel-as-fuck-good story. I love how there’s no unnecessary third party involved in their relationship, and their problems stemmed from their own experiences in life. Shiraki is very patient for the waterworks guy (which is hella cute btw).
ALL COUPLES ARE FEEL GOOD AS FUCK. First couple, love the honesty. Second couple literally skipped the tedious drama. Third couple, was expecting hard stuff but surprisingly, straight-forward. Kinda open ended so a deduction. But damn, I’m so in love with these stories. Especially the Amano and Saiki. Amano is complex but simple, someone only Saiki can fully comprehend.
Kino to Yano
