Have tissue ready.

As with most Japanese BLs the storyline is amazing. I assume there is lots of Japanese culture brought to life in the approach being made in this story. You will learn by episode 1 or 2 one of the main leads dies. The way he still interacts in the story is where the Japanese culture part comes through. There is a similar storyline in HP series when talking about the deathly hallows, so it's not as creepy as it sounds (I have seen negative reviews addressing this). This is a love story that gives a chance, their "miracle", to love to the fullest with their remaining time. Be prepared to cry, a lot.

A beautiful and very emotional series. Be prepared to cry.

I haven't seen such a beautiful series in a very long time. I cried so much during almost all of the last half of the last episode like never before. So beautifully made overall, wonderful characters, great actors. Real love. And so emotionally touching. Let yourself in the story which is basically sad, but also just wonderful. Experience growing heartfelt love of the two boys to the fullest, while they know how it might end.

What a gem this series is. My first 10/10 in a very long time, and it will stay in my head for very long. A must-see.

The best BL from Japan in 2022 which is quite different from the others, but this is one you will never forget.

No other series made me cry as much as this in 2022

In "Eternal Yesterday" Oumi Mitsuru (Inoue Sora) falls in love with the "living corpse" of his friend Yamada Koichi who was killed in a car accident (Komiya Rio, who also played a support role in "Takara-kun"). Koichi can only be seen by the people who think of him, and he becomes increasingly invisible from episode to episode, so the viewer knows that he will disappear even from Mitsuru in the end. But when it actually happens, it is still a shock.

This is a beautiful love story, but the angst that is always there makes it bitter sweet. In 2022, there was no other series that made me cry as much as this.
