This at first seem like one of those boring flat characters, an obsessed introvert boy and his crush who’s the opposite. I was anxious and anticipated to see how the drama which only have 2 and half hours run time overall would be able to adapt such complicated story accurately. Because of first episode alone I feel like these characters have more behind what they are showing on facade so I chose to look for the source material and found the audio drama adaptation which is close to the original Novel. Instead of about romance that was forced, It was about calling out their deep rooted issues until they are ready to face it together. When I first read the synopsis, I thought that It must be one of those lazy shoujo/BL story that used to be popular with trope like bully x victim in some cheesy high school romance but It turned out different the more I watched. Edit TranslationĪ story that causes controversial overreaction by viewers without doing anything controversial This is my first time writing a drama review because I was usually a silent viewer but this drama was so interesting that I ended up feeling the need to write one despite this is not a language I speak.

~~ Adapted from the novel 'He, Who is Beautiful' (美しい彼) by Nagira Yuu (凪良ゆう). Hira contents himself to merely exist within Kiyoi's orbit, for surely Kiyoi is too perfect and aloof to notice him. Kiyoi uses his status to get what he wants, ordering around the boy who creepily stares at him and seems to worship him like a god. Girls admire him for his looks and boys respect him for his athleticism and his domineering personality.

Kiyoi is the most beautiful person he has ever seen and Hira finds himself pulled into Kiyoi's gravity, following him everywhere and attending to his every need. He only views the world through his camera lens, detached, until one day when Kiyoi Sou walks through his classroom door. He tries to remain invisible at school, never wanting to open his mouth and expose his stuttering speech to his classmates. Seventeen-year-old Hira Kazunari drifts through his colorless high school days as an outcast.
