I feel like I just got baited

I feel like I just got baited. The actors, the script their acting everything about this film is almost perfect super cute and fluffy, I would have given this a higher rating but I feel like I got tricked by the film's genre tags. This feels like a bromance rather than a romantic film between two friends. I do not sense any romance between them I mean it's obvious that there is something between them and the whole time "I'm like so where is it wheres the romance"? I felt like I just spent an hour + watching two childhood friends just live together, discovering what they want to do as a career and getting to know each other differently cuz they are now living together and you get to see them enjoy food like a lot but the whole time I was just waiting to see if they would verbally make it known if they where dating or like each other romanticly especially cuz of that one girl at the start of the movie who was trying to date haru but got rejected and even at the beach scene cuz aki and haru are so hardcore playful with each other aka flirting I was just waiting for someone to say it but they didn't. Even the male leads don't even confirm it not really. I even had to confirm it was supposed to be a gay romantic film off of the GagaOOLala website from where I watched it to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I'm sure they are more open about their feeling in the sequel from what I noticed they have one but this film is the hugest slow burn ever. It was taking away from the film for me. I'm sure others who watched this didn't mind but when you go in knowing anything Japanese will have you waiting until the end to give you the ending you have been waiting for and not getting it is frustrating. I sure hope this is not like Manitos Laundromat which was a huge disappointment cuz they make you wait 2 seasons to give you a rushed happy ending while being such an annoying slow burn.
