Minato Shouji Coin Laundry (2022)

Both are Japanese bls with a high schooler main lead.
(spoiler for both shows) In both shows, one of the main leads confesses in the first episode.
Kamisama no Ekohiiki is a must-watch for all Japanese bl lovers!

The Universe each series live in seems so soft and they both put so much effort to tell a story about how Communication is important for a relationship to work

To me, Perfect Propose is what Minato Shouji Coin Laundry should have been - a compact well laid out story about two people who recognize their need for each other. Both have similar plot lines where one-sided love that turns into something more and arguably deeper when the other realizes the deep connection they have. In both you have a chaser who is infatuated with the other because of the little things that meant something more; they are caring and attentive to that person’s needs and takes a while for the other to recognize and appreciate that - food plays an important aspect in this regard.
