WU (2026)

**It's shounen-ai and it's perfect.**

I honestly have no critiques for this series. I loved the ost, I loved the sfx, the fighting choreography, the actors, the characters, the story, I loved it all. Everything was perfect.

The story was short and concise with no pandering subplots. The characters were fun and engaging. The relationship building between Niran and Pete was beautifully done. The fighting choreography was genuinely impressive (if they bring this level of choreography into the *High&Low* series then it will be something to look forward to). Did I also mention how much I loved the ost Destiny by Flio? It's such a beautiful song and they utilized it perfectly within the show. Most series have a tendency to overplay their osts to the point where it gets annoying, but this series had just the right amount in all the right places.

SkyNani got so much hate and trolls repeatedly bashed them and accused them of queer bating. A completely ridiculous sentiment. I've never read or watched a shounen-ai that got so much hate. Asexuals are part of the queer community too, they're the A in LGBTQIA+, trying to erase them and throw a tantrum because a series was made that caters to that audience is simply acephobic and awful. And people who who keep saying that this isn't BL clearly don't know what BL stand for, it's Boy's Love which is what this series is about, two boys who learn to love and trust each other. It's an amazingly thoughtful and well done series and I hope SkyNani make many more like this and stay partners for a long time.
