Takami-kun is an LGBT Japanese romance, adapted from a manga of the same name. Series 1 establishes the romance
between the two young protagonists, Takami and Gii. Takami has a phobia of
humans due to a traumatic past, whilst Gii comes from a wealthy and
pressure-filled background. This hour long story is just part one of five
chapters, which document their relationship through the years.
It’s romantic, but it doesn’t capture
my adoration. It’s fun, but it doesn’t make me laugh or smile very often. It’s
interesting, but it’s nothing special. All this really does is show us the
build-up towards Takami’s confession of love towards Gii, who has always let
his feelings be known for Takami. It was quite cute, but nothing special.
