Last Friends is hands-down THE best drama on Japanese TV today. The last episode is going to air on TV next week, and I can’t wait! The story addresses issues which exist in modern society – Michiru is a young woman who starts getting bullied at work, but unfortunately after she decides to move into her boyfriend’s apartment she also becomes the victim of domestic violence. Ruka is Michiru’s friend since high school, but Ruka starts to become worried about her parents finding out about the truth of her sexuality as feelings for Michiru grow stronger. Takeru is also a friend of Ruka’s, however he also has stronger feelings for her but he has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The 3 eventually end up living together but how will their friendships end up? What I like about Last Friends is that it is a really good change from the silly dramas that are shown on Japanese TV, hopefully Last Friends will help to increase awareness about such issues and the actual people who might have problems similar to those in the drama might be able to get better support. Anyway, if you can, be sure to check it out for yourself!
