Sakaki-kun no Flight Plan

Complete | Sagami Shika | 2000 released

Ayumu and Kousuke are old high school classmates who, despite having a complicated relationship, didn't really interact in school but become friends after they joined the same airline company as flight controller and pilot. Kousuke becomes enamoured (or was that emboldened to act on long buried urges?) when he sees Ayumu in a rare state of vulnerability because of his shitty cheating boyfriend. Could they be something more? It really crept up on me. It's tender and a kind of wish fulfillment, really. I wish we could see more into their personalities, though. 4.6
