I like how Natsusa's all cute, but also has a sadistic side.

Ibuki is a handsome dude, I can't get why will he visit a hostess club? Strange choice tbh

It's the other way around. He was the host and the women were his customers.

Ibuki is a cool character. His motivations are nuanced and complex. Probably my favourite in this anime.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

He was really harrasing him to play rugby again wtf

lol yeah those were some crazy measures Natsusa resorted to. I see the silliness of all that stuff he did as a way of showing Ibuki that he still likes him after the accident. That persistence was effective in getting Ibuki out of his blaming-himself funk. Just the heart-to-heart at the end probably would have sufficed but I think this episode served another purpose of establishing Natsusa's calculative nature that will be used in strategies in the Rugby matches.

Nice episode, I love how they play with guiltiness theme. But it has one significant weakness, Natsusa hinted that Ibuki is not a virgin, while it shouldn't be a problem for general audience, it could upset some group of people including me, in a show that the 'target audience' expect all characters to be virgin, or have same-sex relationship instead of the opposite one.

W..what? I'm oblivious to such things, but where was the implication that he wasn't a virgin, the club scene? Even then, he's a third-year college student who's at least 21 since he can drink, it shouldn't be surprising if he had sex. And would having sex even ruin him being in any type of relationship, same-sex or not? I don't understand that.

The scene after ending song, Natsusa suggest that Ibuki doesn't have a girlfriend, but has 'friend with benefits'.

This anime is much better than I expected. It has a unique protagonist who isn't weak or need others to inspire him. He takes care of himself and creates his playing field.

This anime is not really here to be a sports anime but something else, which I'll take. I can see this anime being really good as a whole since it's pacing is fast.

Also, yeah, this anime is better at BL than most actual BLs hahahah. I know it won't be but damn, the potential is there.

For now, rugby only seem to be a side dish, if anything. Natsu may be cute but I think he's overdoing it with the sadism/guilt-trip thing. The bike question was uncalled for, especially given how guilty Ibiki is already feeling about the situation. Must be the fact he eats like a tick. Eating little surely makes him more sadistic hahaha It's good to have a redhead protagonist once in a while. Redheads leads are so underrated.

This still doesn't seem that interesting. The characters appear to be straight, which is not right at all. :(

I like the introduction of Ibuki, I just still don't understand why he didn't want to play rugby but he was still fine riding a motorcycle.
