----------------------------------------
That was a really good first episode. I'm a fan of the manga and this anime (the first episode at least) didn't disappoint.
Also I love Izumi's mother's reactions lol
I really liked the ending song!!

Thank you so much for that.

On the first episode, I really enjoyed it.
I remember reading the manga a few months back and imagined it'd be a good anime. It's more funny than I expected as well, they really did well translating from the manga.

God bless you. For god's sake, haters dont hate on something you dont understand. Just leave the fans alone and enjoying the series in peace and love. Everyone has their opinions but there are nicest ways to express it than those type of immature and ridiculuous comments.

Anyway I'm so glad to have a BL animated, even if its censored its better than nothing. Girls deserve some eyecandy too. Im ready for the gay rainbows~

Finally some proper BL after really long time *happy fujo sigh*
I have read the manga (well,more like i am still reading it because as we know it's ongoing...) and i am pretty happy how they adapted it into anime so far.

The Senas seem really interesting ^^
Izumi was so cute when he was younger! She He looked really pretty in the dress!
Ryoma having a crush on Izumi ever since the advertisement they did together!
Izumi gave in for the clock of his favourite seiyuu! Ryoma was passionate to the point of bringing flowers! They were both really cute! This was kinda funny too!

I thought I already watched Free today? lol did anyone else notice the seiyuus from Free? Nagisa's, Rei's, and Haru's seiyuus are all in here. Kind of ironic how Rei's seiyuu is voicing another "Rei."

Soooo......



I'm not the only one who saw this, am I

They ended it nicely, that was 2 chapters covered in an episode. Nice pacing, that scene where Izumi kept waking up after receiving the alarm clock was added, hm.

I love how Izumi's mom's name is Nagisa while he's voiced by Nagisa from Free!
And Rei from Free! voices the manager who's name is also Rei.

:>

1. Those anime posters look really good… are those parodies?

2. My first real attempt at yaoi. I'm more into yuri but I gotta say… this series isn't so bad.

3. weird... more hate against yaoi but ok for yuri? :D

The episode was cute and funny.

Real nice art style and everything, as expected of J.C Staff.

Damn I feel sorry for Ryouma, he has no idea Izumi is a guy. Even had a photo of him on his phone from 10 years ago... That's heavy, hope there's some drama when he finds out the truth.

I never really watch series of this genre, but this seems good really.

They managed to keep the great art style from the manga, so total plus. Also Free voice actors! And Daigo voicing the character that was based off of him is great.

But mostly? The added Tsuda bear and Eiki bunny from the mangaka's is like the best thing. It added a lot of comedy to an already comedic show/manga.

Really, thanks for that. I've had enough of that kind of trolling for today.

Anyway, ahh I'm already in love. I've been waiting this for so long. Rei is still my favorite character, man he's so handsome. <3
Shougo's voice sounds fine to me, probably not exactly as I was expecting but I like it.
Lovely first episode, can't wait for the next.

Haven't tried any BL..
I'll give this one a run. But it's kinda both meh and interesting because of the trap.

But I hate the generic reactions. Even if the story may have strength (I don't know), I don't know how long I can stand the stereotypical characterisation of this.

Ah.. let's see.
Feel more into romance-dramas this season.

Daigo's voice acting as Shougo seemed so...forced. Idk, like he was trying to sound cute or childish, but he didn't do a great job at it. He may be talented singer or whatever (though I don't know any of his songs at all), but voice acting may really be not for him. I'm not trying to talk badly about him, so if any of you are fans of his, I don't mean to insult his skill (just wanted to make it clear).

Yeah, but the episode was entertaining overall. I was reluctant to start these series at first. I've read the manga and enjoyed it, but I thought that the anime wouldn't be as funny and enjoyable as manga.
Well, we just need to wait until later episodes, man, I'm sure I'll be too embarrassed to watch when the things will start to get more serious. :D

Perfect first episode! It felt long and short at the same time, and was enjoyable all the way.
It's creepy that Ryouma kept a picture of a small "girl" on his phone for so long though..

Shougo's seiyuu is actually one of the author's brother, and he mentioned in an interview that he starts getting better around episode 8, but I do agree that it sounds a bit off

Izumi is so cute!!!! Nice adaptation. Follows the manga perfectly. Really enjoyed this episode. I cracked up at the earthquake part. Seriously that ish was funny. So happy there is an anime for this. But why only 10 episodes why?

Well considering their source material it makes sense, we haven't gotten that far in the manga. Ugh I NEED MORE!

I was looking forward to this adaptation since I've caught up to the manga beforehand, but this is a bit disappointing!

The ep was gg well imo until I heard Shougo's and Ryouma's voices. It's the voice acting that leaves a lot to be desired. Izumi's was fine but at some parts it seem to lack smtg. Only Rei, among the main cast, is very good, maybe cos Hirakawa is a veteran seiyuu.

Voices aside, the art is just not as cute like in the manga. And the OP is a bit misleading...it's implying Izumi likes to crossdress as a bride :/

I don't think I'm gonna watch the rest of the show. It's much better reading the manga.

Sorry for those who like it and had to read my negative comment >< I tried hard to like it but I just can't. My heart just keep breaking the longer I watched it till the end. Maybe they've shld made a drama cd first before adapting into an anime.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Watched this episode as a dare to myself and I found it enjoyable and at times I even laughed. Closed my eyes at the end when they kissed. But it's good that there's actually a kiss in the first episode.

In a way I feel a bit cheated. I expected to see guyxguy romance and then drop this series since that's not for me. But instead I get guyxgirly-looking-guy-dressed-up-as-a-girl. Don't fujoshi get turned on to see manly man kissing another manly man? I mean, if you make them look like girls what's really the point? The story could easily work if the main character was a girl instead.

Oh well. I'm still going to watch it cause the story is interesting and it's got some good comedy and so far not as "yaoi" as I thought it would be.

Ehh.. watching this makes me feel weird. I don't like BL, but watching this makes me feel like I'd really like this show if I like BL..... or maybe subconsciously I do? @_@

The not-so-subtle sex position by the plushies though.... I find that hilarious.

I was anticipating a kiss, and was not disappointed when it happened..lol.

Don't know if this one could keep me interested, hope they'll make the next ep. just as interesting.

Couldn't agree more. I think the other VA's did a pretty good job; am especially happy with Izumi's. But Shougo's VA was a complete 180 from what I expected in a bad way... Hope I can get used to him over time.

DAIGO sounds awkward voicing Shougo, but I guess it's understandable since he is now in the seiyuu business and all. I appreciate how the studio tried to use Shougo's character inspiration as his VA.

The first episode was really good. I like the decent animation and the pace of the story. I was badly disappointed with DRAMAtical Murder's first episode, but this anime made me regain my hope for yaoi in the anime industry. Well, the first episode. I hope it stays this way until the end.

Just saw this episode and I have to say, it was awesome!! After seeing SOOOO many generic romcom harems, shows like this feels incredibly refreshing. Based on just the first episode, I would say this show has the potential to shape up to be the best romance this year, and possibly the best anime of the season (yes, I'm serious).

I remember this manga being complete shit.

This episode was better than I was expecting. I'm not sure if it was just the direction differing from the manga, or if my memory is just faulty.

In any case, I'll keep watching.
