Last Friends: Japanese Drama Series

Pretty much unprecedented in terms of Japanese TV history. Its a pretty interesting series because the themes inside are quite sensitive especially put under the context of Japanese culture.

EDIT after episode 2: It seems that the show is moving into yet another uncharted territory in terms of Japanese TV. It is very likely that Ruka is not only gay, but is gender-confused and wants to undergo sex change (there are clues in both episode 1 and 2 which are discussed in a reply below).

- The character Ruka, is a closeted motorcross racer in love with her highschool best friend Michiru. 

- A social worker specializing in domestic violence, who abuses his girlfriend.

- A male makeup artist that is not gay, but has a phobia of sex.

The first episode just aired on April 10. And it looks good so far.
