Minato Shouji Coin Laundry (2022)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I have mixed feelings about Minato Shouji Coin Laundry, but overall I liked it, enough to go through 24 episodes (season 1 and season 2), without skipping them. The main issue for me was the pairing, an almost 30 years old man who is attracted by a 17 years old high school student. I say "attracted" and not "love" because at first it's a physical reaction, but then the boy expresses his feelings as well and the story starts. I have to give my kudos to Akira, who basically preserves the purity of Shin to the level that even a kiss is basically forbidden. That was totally understandable when Shin was underage and an high school student, but when they decides to be a couple (after Shin ends school and is 18 years old), the no kiss rules seemed a little too strict, and then, when Shin is at University and he is 19 years old, I think Akira went a little bit too far, Shin probably is dying of blue balls . Anyway this drama has all the element I like, a reverse May/December (in the meaning that the Dominant partner is the younger one), an intensive male lead character, who is also the younger man in the couple, the little bit of jealousy not crossing the level of being unreasonable, but just making them a cute couple. No really big drama, even if the usual escapade of amnesia felt a little bit trite. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat level: 4/6.

Heat Level:

1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses

3/6: full kisses, clothes on

4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on

5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds

6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds
