| Great first ep! Loved it :D Still poor Izumi xD |
| 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. |
 |
| It's... sooo... cuteeeee <3 |
Vudis said: Thread cleaned. Yes this is a shounen ai/BL series. Please read the genres before commenting about "lol BL is shit not watching". We don't need that kind of trolling in here. 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. |
 |
| This was so cute, so cute. I feel strange with Shougo's voice tho, but I'll get used I guess. I'm looking forward to the second episode, definitely. |
| 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. |

| Though I've read so much fanfiction, this is the first BL anime I've actually watched. Oh ho. I was most certainly NOT disappointed *fujoshi cackle* |
| Omg I can't believe I'm actually watching this animated! xD I can't wait to see more heheh |
| 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 |
| Rei stop being so mean to Nagisa : ( 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.. |
lucario2049 said: Really nice episode, the only thing I don-t like is Shougo's voice but I think is just that is waaay diferent from what I expected xD Can't wait for next week owo 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. |
| I never read the manga before, but the first episode was so PRESH! That kiss in the end?! I nearly died! We need more Yaoi/Shounen Ai every season! |

| I was so excited for this! I could hardly sleep last night! It was such a cute episode! Argh! I can't wait for the next episode, I wanna watch it nooooooooowwwwwww!!! Why do they have to pull on my poor heart strings?!?! I want my next episode! *trying to calm down* I need that marble that Ryouma had. I can't calm down. |
| Just waiting y’know...for death. If you also are waiting for sweet death...cool (・u・) My list that has slightly more watched than PTW anime. |
| I really enjoyed this first episode. It was really fun. They did a good job so far, hope the next episodes are as good as this one! :D |
| What timing, it just so happens I have this huge BL void that needs filling. This is really fun so far, too. MC is great. |

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. |
 |
| AHH IZUMI <3 But yeah, I don't if I can get used to Shougo's voice... Definitely a solid adaption for the first episode! |
 |
| I don't know why I find BL so funny (in a good way) but the title of the next thread makes me a bit worried . . . |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| omg i loved this episode. IIzumi's so cute!! can't wait for next week... |
 |
| loved the first episode. everything is so cute~ cant wait for next week's episode!! xD |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| FINALLY SOME BL!!!!! Loved the manga so i'm really hoping the anime lives up to expectations. Izumi looks better as a girl lol |
| holy fuck man, the art in this show is amazing. |
| 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). |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| 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. |
 |
| This is the first BL anime I've ever watched and I have to say that this first episode was really good. It held my interest, the main character is adorable, and the story seems really good. Even though Ryōma doesn't know that Izumi is a guy yet, the scenes between them and the kiss was very romantic! Definitely going to finish watching the whole season. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| really amazing !!! as expected !! I watched it with a wide smile in my face（≧∇≦）! & DAIGO's vaoice made me go asdfghjkl all the time >\<!! can't wait for next episode ! |
| this story really isnt cliche at all and barely has any fan service. As a straight male i find this shit refreshing SolvyTwerk4Jesus said: holy fuck man, the art in this show is amazing.

| SO WELL ANIMATEDDDD finnAAALLY ONE OF MY FAV YAOIS ANIMATED VOICES, GRAPHICS 10/10 I LOVED IT. the plot i already love it and know about it ofc. |
| He happened to be a girl as a sub in the CM, and the experience frightens him to enter entertainment career. He's interested in drawing manga but is not good. 10 years later sequel CM made him act as female again and that actor really thought of him as a girl!! lol~ older brother, vocalist of the Rick band and by DAIGO, understands his younger brother!!(alarm with voice of the character) |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
-Kurisuta- said: ikr i think the same. :Shougo's voice doesn't fit his character at all. Hope I can get used to it, but I doubt it. It was a very cute first episode, enjoyed it a lot. WITH JUST 10 EPIS I THINK THEY WILL NOT DO REIXSHOUGO BUT THERE'S STILL HOPPPEE |
| I'm so glad it was adapted well. I'm going to need to get used to Shougo's voice for a bit I'm sure it'll grow on me eventually but for now it's just okay. I'm just a tad bit disappointed that it'll only be 10 episodes though. |
I normally shy away from BL because it's often too angsty for me (Or maybe I'm just awful at finding the right kind for me), but when a friend recommended this as a more comedic romance I jumped at the chance and now I've become entirely too infatuated. The MC is absolutely adorable it makes me so giddy! Seeing him dressed as a girl, ahhh...  But enough gushing, I was actually kind of impressed with the animation, and the story seems pretty interesting so I'm excited for more, but I don't really have anything solid to make any judgements with just yet. |

| It looks so good, my eyes were climaxing the whole time. And the premise isn't overused or worn-out so it's a pretty great start. It felt like the show was so short; I need more....but I don't want to read the manga until it's done publishing. [spoiler]  |

| Although I'm into BL, I didn't read this manga for some reason. So the anime is very refreshing to me, very very. LOL. I thought there might be a kiss scene, too!!! I love the parents a lot! |
| O.O i never thougth i would like a Ai series i dint expected it to be Ai XD overall i like the animation and i think i will like the series to XD |
| Nagisa and Rei. Heyyyyyyy Hoooooo! It actually looks so much better than I thought it would and it's surprisingly charming. Had several honest laughs especially with his manga art looking so crappy hahaha. I liked that Izumi's emotions weren't overdone (for now at least) - completely valid reactions from knowing you're going to dress up as a woman and that you might fuck up a job all simultaneously. |
| Yes, I've been waiting for this since 2011!! Izumi's voice actor is great, girly but not too girly. lol at Nagisa and Rei. I love that the art style is similar to the manga. All these beautiful colors are too much for me~ They're not gonna air anything explicit but I do hope they keep some of the scenes considering they're kinda important to the plot and characters. Censored sure but not completely removed. I hope they show some Rei x Shouga but I doubt it ;w; Sad to see it's 10 episodes instead of 12 though. Wonder how much they'll be adapting. 5/5 |
| I really do love romance series, I really do. If I keep exercising the fact that Izumi looks and acts like a chick, then I think I'll be good on this series. The character designs are excellent and are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. No complaints there. I really hope we get to see Izumi crossdress into a girl more. That alone makes this show a lot better in my opinion. |

| Honestly, it's better than I expected :D Very funny too! |
| really love this,even though im straight male :D. now i think i should read this manga D: |
