| This isn't shounen-ai. This is yaoi. |
| I'm a happy camper and this was awesome.<3 Even though I felt a bit sad for poor Izumi's parents ignoring his dream like that. |
| This is... my first yaoi anime.... well, it would be 2nd if you count Princess Princess too Anyway, surprisingly I'm enjoying it, like wow, I might gonna start watching Sekaiichi and Junjou Crying Izumi is so cuteee omfg |
 |
| I'm a proud hetero male who appreciates good quality shows (according to my own analyzing skills...) and I LIKED THIS EPISODE! Hotdamn, if it keeps this up, it might turn out pretty damn good. It doesn't feel like it's objectifying anyone yet, not even the MC who is kinda being told what to do :D We got some pretty good comedy out of that too. Maybe we'll even get some social commentary about the matter as well. Btw. I'm feeling that this is way LESS gay than Free! O_O Think about that for a moment. |
| Welcome to club: Anime that Should Continue http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=37045 |
| Better than expected, shougo's voice doesn't match his character, other than that amazing first episode |
| well i'm aguys and seriously i'm not and probably never will be into gay stuff. however, this show was actually original ( think) and most of all it was funny. i really enjoyed it, and that is (and always should be) why i am going to keep watching this, even though i don't like the gay stuff |
 |
| It was a good first episode, it had a Sekaiichi Hatsukoi kind of feel to it. Sena Izumi is adorable. |
 |
| I'm so happy this turned into an anime! X3 I can't get enough of watching the first episode. I've rewatched it 3 times and I'm close to rewatching it the for the fourth time. I just want the next episode to come out!! DX My absolute favorite part is when Izumi thinks there's an earthquake. That part is really funny. Makes me smile ^ ^ SECOND EPISODE, COME OUT!!! |
  |
| Just started reading the manga, and the anime is spot on! (so far anyway) It's even better seeing all the jokes from the manga animated. Makes it ten times more funny than when I read it! |

The source material is definitely Yaoi, but it appears the Anime will only go up to a Shounen-Ai rating. Yaoi does not directly mean it has sex. I admit I was wrong about the shonen-ai part, which to my knowledge means it has no sex. Yaoi is just another word for BL, as far as I know. |
| I was really hooked by the manga, didn't know I'd love this kind of genre... And now, the anime was soooooooo cute <3 |
| The animation in this anime is GREAT and the first episode was way better than I expected. DAIGO's voice really doesn't suit Shougo, but other than that, no complaints. And for a clarification it's nothing close to Nakamura's shows, lol. + Free! is literally fanservice at its prime omg. Since LS!! isn't very heavy with things like that, it's to be expected. |
| Oh wow lovely art. I really don't like the Uke's "cat eyes" though :X So... ugh, lame. The color is pretty at least Still, he's cute XD His voice is odd, but it actually fits a guy, which I think is nice. I'll be be watching. Woo yaoi XD |
 |
| I loved this, I simply loved this ever since I saw the production designs on the net, but now I love this series even more. The artwork is simply amazing, the characters are well drawn, and the OP/ED songs are great. ^^ |
 |
| It is much better than what I expected. Wish if Izumi had female voice actor though. |
| owowowo this is my first yaoi anime... first yaoi and yet already made my heart pounds. lol i really like the design and the color. it's really nice. Izumi is really pretty!! it's so frustrating to know that MEN can be prettier than women ;__; i like the plot, how they met when they was small and the family. the comedies are pretty good too (lol at Izumi's drawing) and Ichijou Ryouma... really handsome! lololol 5/5 |
| ♪ Do re mi fa pupupu, waa~~ ♪ |
| Not bad. Its pretty funny. I like Izumi, though she's much better as a guy than a girl. |
 |
thepath said: Wish if Izumi had female voice actor though. No thanks. I hate it when females voice male characters. |
| ^ That's the one thing I KEPT on wondering while I read the manga. I understand how Izumi could pass as a girl because CLEARLY he's got the looks but his voice would be quite a problem...haha so I was really interested to see. I mean as a child Izumi could pull it off perfectly but I guess Ryouma is so in love the voice doesn't even bother him I'm going to have to disagree with the people who wanted Izumi as a female voice actress. I feel like it wouldn't suit him. A lot of my favorite male characters are voiced by females, and they are incredibly talented, but I have to say that honestly with a frail, insecure tone in his voice it can best be captured by a guy otherwise his whining and complaining basically would make him like a girl. I mean he has the looks of one and if his voice was a girl's...I don't want to even begin to imagine it --- anyways, really enjoyed the episode. It was so much better than I had expected and really looking forward to the next episodes |
| The truth is, I once started to read the manga and ran away in chapter 3 if I'm not wrong because it was too much for me (because it was disgusting. All that mucus and perverted stuff. I don't know if I feel like watching second episode... |

I'm glad Yonaga Tsubasa got the role because he can actually pull off both the feminine tone and masculine... Has anyone heard his female voice actress impressions? He actually sounds like them LOL |
| Ugh this was such a good starting episode. As a gay guy, I really wish there were more shounen-ai animes out there. I felt completely in love with the relationship between those two. I feel like I can relate a lot to Izumi, now I just need to find my Ryouma. |
 |
| The eyes...Izumi is so cute. Much better than I expected. As soon as I heard him talk I knew the manager had the same VA as Rei from Free! ^_^ |

"Komugi, are you there?" |
| I liked the animation, the art is soo beautiful. Izumi is really adorable, Shougo's voice tho ><. Looking forward for next episode! |
 |
| Great animation. Better than I thought all around |
 |
can someone please explain this shot? my friends and i have no idea what it is supposed to mean: |
| ^ Hahaha I recently watched MasterChef and I thought that's a pasta and its cutter? My thought on this show and episode: The animation and presentation were better than I expected. VAs are all alright except, yeah, for Shougo's. I expected his voice to be deeper. I know that the Shougo's chara's design was based from DAIGO but sorry Eiki-sensei and Zaou-sensei but I don't dig Shougo's voice quality here. |
| Far not as bad as expected |
rothrock said: ^This^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. :> Mod Edit: please use spoiler tags on big pictures Exactly what I thought too while I was watching; couldn't help but notice XD Cute first ep, really looking forward to see where this is headed |

Random perhaps. --- It was a nice episode. It made me remember that I think I read the manga somewhere and stopped at some point. Really cute. |
| at last! new yaoi anime! :D |
| I am not really a fan of Yaoi(Love yuri though) but i thought this looked pretty interesting and the first episode was very nice :) |
| This is surprisingly A LOT of fun. The wedding scene at the end during the ED song was executed perfectly imo. I love J.C. Staff!! (no idea why the studio gathered so much hate) Edit: Omg there were trolls that went "omfg BL dis iz sheet"? My God, they need to learn to fucking read, and probably stop trying out every anime that comes out every season if they are not open enough to accept everything. Jeez. |

| I didn't realize this was a yaoi at all, Izumi looks way to much like a trap, this is going to be my first yaoi. It seems promising And OHMIGOD its Nagisa and Rei's voice from Free, I'm totally watching it |
 |
| I really should read the synopsis of the show next time, because basing the show of the cover I did not expect this to be a Shounen-ai. That said though the overall start wasn't all that bad, the art and animations are pretty superb but I do hope the shounen-ai part won't screw up the main story too much! Well let's see what's next! |
 |
| Wow, that was spectacular. It's a great sign when a first episode has me laughing and smiling all throughout. A really strong balance of sugar and hilarity. "I like your coloring" that just killed me. |
 |
| I had to pause the ep many time so I can stop laughing and focus XDD it was such a good ep XDD |
| This was great. I love all the characters, especially the bubbly mom. It looks like Izumi didn't know about the kiss. THIS IS WHY WE READ THE SCRIPT, PEOPLE! Anyway, I look forward to seeing what happens next. This anime looks like it's going to be fun. :) |

| Waaaiiii my Free! ReixNagisa shipper sense is tingling the whole time I watch this ep XD Solmate said: I had to pause the ep many time so I can stop laughing and focus XDD it was such a good ep XDD The last time an episode made me laugh this much is Nozaki-kun XD Am I right assuming the secretary has feelings for Izumi? |
| Shougo seiyuu really bothers me orz I know it is important because Shougo was actually completely based on DAIGO (the seiyuu), but it just... off. It sounds so stiff. but Izumi seiyuu is the best <3 |
| Izumi is so god damn cute. |
