I avoided watching this for a long time because I had read so many negative comments about the last two episodes, which is where a lot of actual issue resolution is handled. Ahead of those two, it was a mostly straightforward plot - meaningful and beautifully executed, but still a relatively simple plot. I actually think they could have expanded this to 16 episodes to really handle the issue resolution pieces better, but it is what it is. It’s a great show. It’s a more mature theme than other BLs. Don’t let the hype on the last two episodes keep you away - they aren’t bad. Without them, they would have left some pretty large (adult) plot issues unresolved. They aren’t handled *great* as-is, but at least they weren’t ignored.
