almost done watching season 2 pls let them make up aaaghhh

[mettywiththenotes]

Amamiya and Kai have it all. Childhood friends. Childhood friends who separate and then reunite later. They reunited at a strip club with one of them in cross dress. They were roommates (oh my god they were roommates). Miscommunication and misunderstandings. I hate you Oh Wait No I Don't. A lot of pining, a lot of blushing. They've never dated but they definitely broke up then got back together. Both were screaming crying throwing up the entire time. They took some keys from behind a desk after hours (be gay do crime). Piano duets are a sign of love btw. One of them has incredible childhood trauma but is a sunshine with abandonment issues, the other is a rich boy (also has trauma) with some sort of winning complex his father gave him and bad anxiety. The piano bfs

[growingbroccoli]

just piano boyfriends…

[stardustintheabyss]

Why did no one tell me Forest of Piano is basically if Yuri on Ice & Your Lie in April had a baby?? Like why are all these guys blushing at eachother if not fruity??

Serving some childhood friends to rivals to lovers fr

Yes of course the conventionally attractive age appropriate men are the ones I simp for definitely not the mentor or the mom

[dragontamer05]

One of my favourite things in Forest of Piano is that like the main character/ one of the mains at one point he's working at a club playing Piano, but does it drag. just because.

I don't recall ever getting any explanation as to what got him into doing it - besides just picking up a side job for money I guess (and you know he loves playing Piano regardless )

But it's not played off as a joke- at least not at his expense / no bad 'haha guy dressed as girl jokes'

Like closest thing I can think of comedy coming out of it is just the other main character/his friend finding out when going to visit him and getting a bit flustered and part of that comes from Kai himself clearly having a bit of fun before revealing the truth nor is it a fact ever lingered on

The other comes about more in the form of this other guy who's clearly quite attracted to Kai's lady persona Maria and basically goes about trying to track her down (only later hit with the revelation that Kai is Maria- which again is at that guys expense never directed at Kai)

but beyond that it's just never focused on, we learn that it happens to be a job he does and then we just move because it doesn't matter to the rest of the story

and as far as can be seen and shown it's not like it's a drag club/bar either any other ladies we see working there are just that , clearly not meant to be Drag

Honey Lemon Soda Episode 1 Review - Soaked In Lemon Soda

A lot of shoujo fans have been hyping the anime adaptation of Honey Lemon Soda. It’s actually quite a best-seller in recent times as it sold 12 million copies and even had a live-action movie adaptation a few years ago. However, shoujo manga fans have one fear when it comes to anime adaptations: the animation. It’s actually Russian roulette for shoujo fans when a popular shoujo manga gets an anime adaptation as the anime quality can be really good or really bad, depending on the studio. Last year, I watched A Sign of Affection where the animation was pretty despite it not being from a well-known studio and then there’s A Condition Called Love with its very subpar animation created from East Fish Studio. The fact that Honey Lemon Soda got an anime adaptation by JC Staff, a rather well-known animation studio, does make fans happy as it means that it would be getting good animation quality and for someone who likes art, I think it’s visually appealing!

Honey Lemon Soda is a story about first-year high school student Uka Ishimori who was bullied back in middle school for being stone-faced and having slow reactions to everything; she was nicknamed “Stone” because of that. The bullying has caused her to become very withdrawn and timid. While contemplating on the high school of her choice, she stumbles upon Kai Miura on the streets who suggests she go to Hachimitsu High School because he’d also be going there. Moved by the first instance of kindness from someone in her life, she makes the decision to forego her first choice school and go to Hachimitsu in hopes of overcoming her past and change for the better.

Yes, it does have the typical shoujo story cliches with a very introverted protagonist meeting a knight in shining armor who is her total opposite and becomes enamored with him. However, it is a very human story too with Uka very low self-esteem due to her parents’ overprotectiveness and the results of being bullied. Sometimes, these things can be very vital in a child’s development. If parents are overprotective, it gives a child a sense that they can’t do anything by themselves and grow to becoming overly dependent on them even as an adult even to the point that they can’t even make their own decisions without their parents’ permission. Bullying can also affect a child’s psyche in that it makes them feel very depressed and anxious. I actually can relate to Uka in the sense that I grew up with a very overprotective mom (though I can still make my own decisions as an adult) and that I have been bullied not in school but at church. I can totally get why Uka acts the way she does because of that—she believes she has no sense of self, but meeting Kai helps her believe that she does.

Regarding her love interest Kai, he’s actually not a red flag at all. I like that he doesn’t coddle Uka at all and is very blunt with her. He’s straightforward and speaks his mind, things Uka lacks, but they’re handled positively. Because he’s straightforward, he’s not hesitant on calling Uka’s passiveness out. He’s a good guy because he wants her to speak up and express herself. It makes me wonder if he had experienced similar things in the past or if he feels empathy for her in a way. I am curious to know more about him.

The other characters got me curious too. Ayumi feels like the girl who’d become her closest friend. I do wonder what Takamine and Seto’s roles will be in the story. I just hope there won't be a love triangle—the last thing I need in a romance anime is a love triangle. The bullies feel textbook—they better not get redemption arcs and just be NPCs.

The voice cast for the main characters are all ones that are decently popular. Kana Ichinose is definitely a rising star as she won Best Actress Award in the 18th Seiyuu Awards and she was in popular shows like Gundam and Frieren. I like her voice, though. Shougo Yano, on the other hand, is actually going against typecast for his role as Kai. Like when I saw his name on the cast list, I was actually surprised. He’s usually typecasted as soft and cute characters like Mafuyu from Given or cheeky cuties like Reo from Paradox Live—in a sense, he usually voices cuties, so for him to voice an ikemen using a more masculine tone compared to his more known high tone feels a little jarring, but I’m all for voice actors showing off different voices! For the other three, I’m the least familiar with Miyari Nemoto. I’ve heard Taku Yashiro and Shunichi Toki in many different animes, so I’m familiar with those two—it’s nice to hear Reo and Hokusai be in another anime together—I like their dynamic in Pararai. Okay, to be honest, out of the voice cast, the most well-known are actually Uka’s parents who are voiced by Ai Kayano and Kazuyuki Okitsu.

The animation and music are good. I think it’s been a while since I last saw a shoujo anime where the heroine’s eyes are humongous, but I like how they’re colored. Her eyes are yellow like Kai’s hair to showcase the theme color, which is lemon yellow. I really like how the opening and ending are animated though. The opening is beautiful while the ending has a lot of characters and movement that it feels like a school environment.

I do think this could be a good shoujo romance story as the first episode doesn’t tell you everything at once—the beauty of these types of shows is learning more about the characters the more you read/watch. If I am allowed to say one more thing before I end things here, it’s that I really like Uka’s room—all those plants make it very cozy and gives the room personality! Let me know what your thoughts are about the premiere of this anime!
