Time (2024)

 There was a nice pilot on GagaOOLala of Time that gave me high expectations... sadly, the series was not up to the pilot. It was basically boring, the acting was pretty much forced from all actors, and the two couples, engaging often in sex scenes, seemed like they were following the instruction of Twister... put your hand here, put your foot there... no sexy at all. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and WeTV. Heat Level: 6/6.

This collection of short stories contains the following: The Frog Prince features a young man named Yui Nishino who has remarkable features.

In The World's End, Shin is on a terraforming mission and keeps in contact with Rukiya, an engineer who is on Earth.
