The End of the World, With You
The End of the World, With You – 7/10
Japanese BL Drama • 2023 • Apocalyptic / Psychological / Enemies-to-Lovers
A rather unconventional take on BL, The End of the World, With You places two men at the center of an apocalypse, forced to confront not only the literal collapse of the world—but their past, secrets, and complex emotional baggage.
🌍 Kida (Ryusei Onishi) and Yuma (Masaki Nakao) are complete opposites with a turbulent history. When a meteor threatens to destroy Earth in just ten days, the two are thrown together on a cross-country escape, reigniting past tensions and new feelings.
🌀 The series leans heavily into psychological drama and ambiguity, at times feeling surreal or emotionally chaotic. While it wasn’t entirely my cup of tea, I still appreciated the boldness in storytelling and the attempt to blend BL with existential themes.
💭 The narrative might feel strange, disjointed, or overly stylized to some—but that, too, is part of its experimental charm.
Rating: 7/10 – Strange, somber, and definitely not typical BL. Not a personal favorite, but I commend the ambition and emotional depth it tried to explore.
