Fun Kansai cultural references
I loved the representation of working class Kansai. The dialect was fun. The costuming for the restaurant patrons was absolutely accurate. Many of the criticisms made in other reviews are fair. Minimal and unfocused plot, differs substantially from the manga. Feelings between the couple are uneven and seem forced or maybe just uninspired. Episode 8 is definitely a low point.
But I still enjoyed it because it had a realness to some of the situations that resonated with my own experience living in Japan. Many Japanese BL series have a dreamy quality, which is nice, but seems like a world that doesn't exist. This series feels somewhat realistic. The somewhat chaotic plot, non sequiturs, people unsure of what they want was definitely something I experienced there.
The English title is wrong. It should be "I don't like it, but what do we do?"
I did not regret watching it. But not something I'd recommend either.
