Yeah, probably does. I mean I do get it, though it seems ridiculous personally for people to compare Super Lovers to Boku no Pico. That's just me tho, so w/e. People are entitled to feel how they feel about an anime. It's just animation after-all.

I don't get the problem people have in this thread. Even so called fujoshis seem to have a problem with this show. Why?

I already wrote it months ago when Super Lovers anime adaption was announced: Episode 1 is probably (except for flashbacks) the only time we see Ren in his child form. I don't consider this a spoiler because the PV hinted at it: there is a time skip.

So please spare us with your shotacon alert. Thank you.

If you like Love Stage!! or Nakamura's elementary school drawings then feel free to do so.

I only know that a lot of fans of the genre are glad that once in a while a good yaoi manga is made into an anime. This happens rare enough. We not celebrate it?

But all I hear is 'bleh bleh he is so young bleh creepy bleh i like gender benders more meh meh'.

Please spare us.

Oh and yes: Episode 1 definitely 5 out of 5 creepy shotacon teddy bears!

Then please NEVER watch Boku no Pico. Even in the Super Lovers manga you'll never see something as disgusting as in the first BnP OVA. To be correct there aren't even that much 'erotic scenes' in Super Lovers. The manga has - I think - 9 volumes in sale. And there are - approximately - 3 erotic scenes (I don't talk about explicit sex by the way).

People should really give this title a chance. It is one of the few yaoi manga that actually has a plot. But many viewers will never come to the point where they like the plot because all the do is scream: 'eeh it's a kid and a man!1!111!'.

This is not shotacon. PERIOD.

yes i dont plan on watching boku eVER LOL

i read the sex scene in super loves manga already. its not as bad bc he's older. i am okay with 16
not okay with 8

it's completely okay and valid for anyone to be creeped out by episode 1 because he is legit SUPER YOUNG and UNDERAGED right now. luckily timeskip will happen.

Yeah, I thought it just seemed like Haru was playing a joke or something, I wouldn't even say it was brotherly lol. Kind of like a prank. It wasn't a big deal for me personally, but if some people feel uncomfortable, that's perfectly valid.

Anyway, the next episode should take place after some years have passed. This one was just the backstory of how they first met.

it was definitely adapted well. im happy about this ^~^ i think most ppl won't watch bc they think its shota. the anime cover gives off that vibe so can't blame em. wish ren in the anime looked a little more like he did in the manga as a teen. he seemed to have a slightly bigger build and looked like a high schooler

Super Lovers is my favorite yaoi manga so I'm so hyped with the anime!! I've waited for a year for it to air.

I barely couldn't contain the feels and internal screaming during this first ep, but I'm so biased for knowing all the story and the characters.

As lots of you said, at this point of the story there's still no romantic feelings or sexual intent of any way. Haru just sees Ren as a little brother and all the acts were purely from fraternal affection, but I can understand why it would creep out some people.

Also, as many said, the relation goes deeper when Ren gets older, and they both really go very veeeeery slowly with it, they take their time (and they make sure to take it, jesus xD). So, in my opinion, the age gap is managed pretty well.

At first it may seem a bit bizarre sometimes, but I really think it's a story worth of watching/reading.

I just hope the next eps are as well adapted as this first one.

I don't think that it is shotacon. Their age gap is like 8 and I've seen women dating men 20 years older than them. Besides, they age; they're currently 16 and 24 in the manga I think.


16 and 24 is pedophilia most places in the world and will get you thrown in jail. Even just for watching it, let alone doing it. Although it's a boy being raped, not a girl so it's "romantic" rather than horrifying.

"Although it's a boy being raped..."
Uh there's no rape in the manga so I don't think any rape is going to happen in the anime. Ever heard of age doesn't matter? Sure it would matter if it was a naïve child and a sexual predator, but they are neither of these. They don't develop any love interest until Ren is a little older anyway. The things they do until then are just typical step-brothers stuff.
I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met.

I agree, the story is much more than that. I recently got into liking Shounen-Ai with great plot. I wish people were more open-minded. I'm not even gay and yet I enjoy this. I've seen Love Stage and my girlfriend is suggesting I start watching Junjou Romantica.

Whoa, seeing my city and province (Calgary/Alberta) being mentioned in an anime is really weird. I assume they were in the mountains in Banff in this episode. Kinda cool. Nice episode, Ren is a cutie.

Edit: Wait I lied, Banff is only an hour from Calgary and the anime says they drove for 3 and a half hours. Weird, even looking at a map I have no idea what part they might be in. I guess just somewhere in the mountains between Banff and Jasper (which is 5 hours away).

Not complaining btw. I ship a lot of Anime girls with each other now. xD Kind of funny huh? I'm a girl who doesn't like BL but loves GL. :3 Well anyways, I'll go watch it in a little while.

People get your mind out of the gutter, there's nothing sexual about that kiss. People are just saying it is because they know this is a shounen ai and automatically jump to the dirty.

And bringing up age gap again as if they're not reading the manga where the romance happens much much later after the big time skip. And 16 vs 23 is not that big of a gap. Ever read Usagi drop? It's a lot like SL except instead of a 17 yo meeting with an adopted 10 yo little brother and develop romance years later, it's a 30-something man with a... 6-7 yo adopted girl. They too began to develop romance when the girl is in HS (16). Now that's an age gap. So why's SL get tons of 'omg pedophile' thrown at it? Simply because it's labeled yaoi/shounen ai; people automatically jump to the dirty.

Speaking of, he seemed to think it was natural for foreigner (Canadians/Americans?) to kiss family on the lips...

His birth mother is Haruko, the woman who is living with Ren in Canada. The couple who greet him back in the airport in japan are his real father and step mother.

As always Deen knows how to please me. The animation is absolutely amazing it blew my mind away and Haru definitely takes the win for best MC of the season. His character is beautiful, kinda reminds me of Ryouma from Love Stage. I know for sure I'll definitely fall for him as the series progresses, plus I'm happy he's voiced by one of my favorite seiyuu's. As for Ren, he's a cutie I can't wait to see how his romantic relationship with Haru develops throughout the series xD

I discovered this by accident and I am going to definitely watch it.

I felt the first episode moved too fast and I didn't like that Ren immediately latched onto Haru right away but I do like the two so far and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

The age thing is ehh...

We have anime with rape, girls who are oversexualized, many of the viewers here have crushes on lolis or whatever...so because the 2 are guys it is suddenly a bad thing?

Boku no pico is a bit much but this anime didn't give me anything remotely close to that.

My thoughts after watching the episode:

1.Shotacon and incest.

I understand they will be older in next episodes and they are not real brothers but it still, it's bordering with illegal.
I will ignore the issue though. The story seems decent and I like shounen-ai so I will be watching it.

2. It reminds me of Love Stage.

Shougo and Izumis relationship in LS gave me the same feel as Haru and Ren in SL.
Haru even looks like Shougo.
I kinda like that.

I'm seriously laughing at all the people mentioning Boku no Pico. Sweet Jesus.

I haven't read the manga so everything that's happening in the anime is new to me (my sister just read the series so I could ask her what might be coming up or just read it myself). The first episode was cute and I couldn't keep straigth face most of the time. Maeno fits Haru so well. It's so refreshing to hear him being more comical than serious (most of the roles I know are serious or just not that "goofy").

The age gap-thing isn't that bad. My mother was 16 when she started to date my dad who was 21 back then. In some countries such "big" age differences may appear as unpleasant or even scary, as by "standard" it is thought that people who end up together may have only a few years of age difference > greater age difference > may lead to thoughts about pedophilia and stuff. But then in some countries it's not that big deal. So, it's kinda 50-50 situation and I'm trying to understand "both sides". I don't mind the whole thing between Ren and Haru. They can be brothers or lovers, as long as they are happy. And we don't know if the anime will have the manga stuff happening in the end, but if it will happen (thanks to all these people noting about it), Ren will be 16. Don't know about other countries but at least in Finland it's the age of consent, so in my case everything's fine.

I'm really interested in Haru. He's really adaptable and his "family" seems pretty...crazy. It's strange how quickly he got adapted to Ren. Looks like their's a reason for that too.

I don't see any pedophilia though? I've seen loads of kids get a quick kiss in primary and early secondary school by their parents and siblings. I've slept with my parents and my sister when I was younger. I stopped cause I move around a lot but my cousin who is 24 still sleeps with her parents sometimes.

It was pretty meh overall though. A cute episode that was slightly different really. I'm sad they're not adapting hakkenden anymore... I really want to know what happens later.

At least Rei and Nagisa were the same age though! I think that made it more acceptable in people's eyes.

I feel like people complain about this genre because there's definitely a lot of risque or taboo stuff, or just general weirdness, like Junjou rape x_x, Sex Pistols and its weirdness lol, huge age gaps in Kirepapa and some other OVA...

For me, the difference between this and something like Boku no Pico is that in BnP (from what I recall) it's supposed to be filthy, taboo, wrong, etc. While in SP the adult man with a sexual desire for his ,freshman in high-school, adoptive brother (whom he's known since the brother was 8, regardless of blood relation), is being portrayed as some beautiful love story.

I think I'd be on board if: 1) the younger guy wasn't still a minor when they met, or at least "became a couple", 2) there wasn't a family relation, or 3) it didn't try to sell their relationship as a sweet love story.

I'm gonna give it a few episodes because this has a decent reputation and I'm yet to find a great gay love story in anime so I'm taking what I can get.
