Shigatsu no Tokyo wa... (2023)

Love is better the second time around remind me of this series because in both of them they met for first timein hs and had a story, they "remeet" at work years later and the story begins. Also the actor Aroha stares in both !

Hiro's so stressed out at work that he can barely have proper meals or get some well-earned sleep. When he passes out on the sidewalk after yet another stressful day, an unfamiliar face calls out to him - apparently, they once promised to marry each other? What's Kai Fukaya's deal, and why is he so insistent on assuming the role of Hiro's fiancé?

Similar serious tone. Lovers reunited after some time. Based in Japan. Couple ends up together at the end.

It also concerns itself with a painful first love reuniting after some years. We also get the "I am only gay for you" trope.

The new employee Kazuma, who returned to Tokyo from America, reunites with his close friend from middle school, Ren, who is currently working as the top designer at their company. It is their first meeting since the abrupt farewell during their third year in middle school, 10 years ago. Ren was his best friend and his first love. He is as strong and good-looking as ever… And Kazuma is happy just being with him. However, Ren avoids the subject of their time in middle school rather unnaturally and acts like a friendly former-classmate… But he’s behaving this way because he is gay, and above all, fears being rejected by Kazuma. Yet one night, the two of them get together again…?
