THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The main guy is a host... Though everyone around the field feels his love his brothers. So he works as host because his parents died from the accident when they picked him up. On top of that he forgot everything that happened in first ep. Everyone blaming him, though.

He visits the lawyer, who is mother's friend, and that little brother already arrived. With him having amnesia, he doesn't remember him at all. He is aware of the amnesia, though. Twin brothers are also adopted, too? Little brother doesn't know the rule of city, it seems. Also shows a customer with deadly eyes, who main guy is not good.

The little brother reading manga the first time and not knowing the direction. He feels deja vu when he did the bath for little boy. Twin brothers visiting. It seems like the brother with the megane already knew about their little brother from the family registry. He talked about how lonely during the funeral without knowing about it. Kirito brother is against him (from jealousy, probably). The little brother's wish to live with the main guy is strong that he says "he doesn't mind about what others think", and only listen to him obediently.

ED with twin brothers.

Christmas already next?

T_T that bathroom scene... i like how they added ren s expression when the kaidou brothers left the house, made me feel even more sorry for ren sighs

that female guest called sakurai(?) turned out really creepy in the anime Orz it must be her eyes

Aaww, so that's how the story goes. Kinda confused at first, but after saw Natsu receiving that supposedly-porn DVD, I guess it's kinda clear... for now.

Felt like it was from a completely different series. All these different tones (serious moments, yaoi hints, poor comedy) don't work well together.
Not horrible, but I'm dropping the series.

The scene where Ren obediently waited in the bathroom is more heartbreaking here... and I agree with @mikageishi, that one shot makes it all the more sad.

Female customer looks freaky O.o

Woah. Hold it right there mister!!
For me who has already read the manga I looked forward to my favourite scenes so much that I completely forgot the plot in between!orz
Yet as soon as I saw the woman all came back to me, as well as when Haru said"Stay here until I say you can come out".
I immediately remembered to what it would be leading...and then I paused.
Omg, I paused for ten minutes.
I knew I wasn't ready for that all over again.
I agree with you guys, it was even sadder than in the manga. I cried again...Haru you idiot.;A; Bwa, I totally forgot how hurting this series is, why did I forget...I'm not prepared for the next 2 episodes.
I am not prepared for that.

Btw, can we please talk about how beautiful and adorable Ren looked in this episode? Because damn, he sure did!!

Also Aki sounds so cool. I like the seiyuu choice, ha. As well as Ikuyoshi, he's cuter in the anime, why is that. (Also why did I imagine him to be blond all the time?)
Yet I always hear Hinata when he is speaking, because they share the same seiyuu. *laugh*


What I want to add...the cat-bear with hat was there again. Standing on the road, living it's life.
What the heck is this thing?! Why is it there, what's it's purpose??? I don't want it, ah. Is it like a shounen-ai/yaoi mascot like the bunny from sekaiichi hatsukoi?
I don't need it. I'm scared of that thing.
The role of the cute animal accompanying the main is already taken...(you'll see later on, although it wouldn't be really a spoiler to tell you guys now, but better safe than sorry.)

I usually like shounen ai, but this show doesn't click with me. I felt so bad for Ren and I don't want to see him suffer. When it comes to raising a child, Haru seemed way more competent in the previous episode. I am not dropping this yet, because I'm intrigued about what will happen next, but the characters don't impress me.

Wait, the main character's father and stepmom died in the crash and his real mother didn't bother to take him home and he instead was send in an orphanage or whatever it was? What the fuck? That makes no sence.

Yes, you're essentially right. Episode is set after a timeskip. Haru's natural father and stepmom died in the accident. The maternal grandparents took in the twins, but not Haru. Haruko stayed in Canada and Haru was sent to a facility. Well, after episode 1 it should have become obvious she isn't the most caring mother in the world.

Oh yes, there will be some drama, though. At the end of the next episode there should be some solutions to their current situation. Looking forward to next week!

"isn't the most caring mother"? The whole thing makes no sence. There should be laws for that kind of stuff. Till now they show how she doesn't want to be called mom. Not that she hates her own child. It propably exists for plot convinience, which just makes it shit because it's so obvious.

I had to watch the beginning twice to understand what had happened, but other than that this was a nice episode :) Ren is so cute! And honestly I love that he brought Canadian money with him to Japan ahah :')

Aki is so hostile towards Haru, I mean...how do you just blame your brother over an accident that he had no control over... o.o

Even though the music can get a little weird, so far I think I prefer the anime to the manga.

The manga had a weird flow to it, I haven't got that vibe from the anime yet. We are only on the second episode, so hopefully things don't start getting.. weird.

It was a bit confusing because of that timeskip. But it worked out alright, since we got to learn a little more about Haru. And Ren sitting in that closet for so long... Where did Haru's child raising skills go?

Yeah the whole "haru was sent to an orphanage" thing is kinda ridiculous.
But then again, I read a lot of yaoi, so I've seen worse.
This one's still kinda interesting, but those moments we're supposed to "fangirl over" are just so weird... oh well let's see where it goes

This episode was significantly less uncomfortable! And the one or two small parts that gave off a pedophilic vibe were ignorable! XD
And again, I do really like the story! It's starting to remind me of Junjou Romantica, but without my yelling internally "WHY ARE YOU MAKING EVERYTHING SO COMPLICATED?!!"
I think I could still enjoy this series after all, I was very happy with this episode!

Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused about his dad's family and thought the lawyer was his step mom and had s major personality change from ep 1. Did Haruko have a bit of a background change? Wasn't she an author in the 1st ep? Not a physicist?

If I remember corretly she was a physicist in the manga. I think they merged both professions for the anime. It's been a long time since I read chapter 1. I should reread it to be sure ;D

No no you're right, she was an author. XD She was originally a physicist, but she quit and became an author. Now she's ditched that and gone back to being a physicist (which has not been further explained in the manga either, so who knows why).

i kind of REALLY like the twins, especially the megane!!
overall the story is average and i believe there are too many convenient plot devices, but no actual plot.
i hope we'll learn a bit more about Ren's past!
it's fairly enjoyable so i'll keep watching ^^

The kohai host seems to be in love with Natsu. And ofc the fangirls aren't very cute, it's yaoi after-all.

So, Haru has amnesia now. I guess it's understandable, but a little fast-paced development.

Asakura is hot... tho she gives off a weird vibe.

Damn Matsuoka is here, too. At least he sounds a little different, so I can bear with it.

Ren is such a nice boy tho, so obedient
Aki is already being childish, lol. At least Shima is mature.

Nice episode.

I started this with an open mind,but not gonna lie,some moments made me feel uncomfortable.

I have nothing against the idea of age gap but how old is the boy supposed to be? He looks 12.

Also, why is it so cheesy,with flowers and glitter?

Blond still creepy to me, now he's a host, even creepier.
But that office lady eyes & demeanor creeps me out more than anything from Mayoiga. Plu the bathroom seclusion. This could become drama psychological horror.
Has enough comedy to keep me tho.
Random double armpit hold, wat u creep!
5 years & Ren still looks like kiddo. Was expecting timeskip to escape any pedo undertones.
Twin brothers hopefully'll keep blond in check.
Looking forward to elephant.
