This was a breath of fresh air and very much worth watching. I won't give any spoilers, but it starts a group of four friends hanging out and the main character thinks about how one of them was his first boyfriend. It then goes back to when they met in high school and the main guy was pretty isolated and decided he wanted to make friends. He joins the student council, which was run by three childhood friends, now nearing graduation. It slowly is revealed that two of the friends were interested in the main guy. I thought to myself this is going to be a rival thing with them putting the other down, building themselves up and destroying their friendship in the process. None of that happened, the story went a completely different way and both of the guys didn't want their friendship to be damaged so they encouraged and supported each other; this is just so totally opposite of the usual friend/rival trope it was surprising and captivating and I really didn't want it to end. If you're looking for a nice, simple romance where they only real conflict is each of them facing their own emotions and personal growth, this is definitely one to watch!
