>>1388It's a top-tier cozy movie with a lot to think about and a good central male friendship. Surprised it doesn't seem to be more popular in BL spaces given the closeness of the two main characters.
Have you seen the directors other adaptation of Kenji Miyazawa's Budori Gusuko? I don't think it's anywhere as good but the MC is drawn exactly the same way as Giovanni and is super cute and expressive!
