Dayum, the animation is so great! Episode was awesome too.
I'm getting more and more used to DAIGO's voice acting.
Omg, can't wait for next week's episode.

It had a couple of funny scenes but wasn't as good as the first episode. Well, at least Izumi's true gender was revealed to Ryouma.

Great episode, finally Ryouma knows about Izumi.
See a hint of Rei & Daigo in this episode.

Wow, can't wait for how they'll do episode 3.

I'm glad Ryouma found out Izumi was a guy now than later. I dislike the personality change, but it makes things more interesting. I'm wondering how they will possibly fall in love.

I like this ep better. Not sure why. And Ryoma showed his true colors, that was funny. I'm glad that he already knows that mc is a guy.

Ah cross-dressing pervert, his personality came flying right out with that remark.

I like his brother for letting that misunderstanding die right then and there.

I don't like Ryoma's reaction at all and it seems like he'll have a twisted personality/attitude based on the preview, I really dislike characters like that -_- I get that he's confused and frustrated that his crush turned out to be a guy but pushing him down against his will/forcefully is not okay, never. I wonder how they'll ever fall in love.

That said I really like Shougo and Izumi and their cute moments so that makes up for Ryoma for now I guess but I hope Ryoma will fix his shitty attitude soon.

I really wish they would change Shougo's VA. It just doesn't sound well to me. His voice doesn't suit his character at all.

Nice episode. It ended right where I expected it too. The next one should be good!

A popular transferred girl in highschool is supporting him. Wait, a mahou shoujo? lol @ it being the dream after the kiss last ep.

lol @ skipping for his brother's filming... from London! And that assistant entered after that filming. It was the father who added the kiss scene?! Same trick by rocker brother!! lol~

He confessed, but after learning that he's a guy, his personality became bad.

Both OP and ED are suitable for this genre.

This episode was priceless!

Izumi's reaction to the kiss, Shougo bribing his bro with the Lala Lulu body pillow and Ryouma's reaction to the fact that Izumi is a guy! All great scenes!

I'm really enjoying this anime so far!
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!

Was a little disappointed with this episode. Was very confused in the beginning with Lala-Lulu, but it was good. I was REALLY expecting this to follow the manga exact, but I guess that's asking for too much?
Anyways, it was enjoyable. =)

That double bread attack in the beginning hahah

The OP is really good. I wonder how long the kiss lasted.

He confessed and that over-the-top reation lmao

I kinda expected Ryouma to have a twisted personality, I wonder why nice guy can't remain nice forever. And here I thought, he was gonna be different. Well, the couple dynamic is still interesting and I like the show.

Well, Shougo's voice really did improve fast. It doesn't make me want to tear my eyes out anymore.
And gosh, what I would do if they gave as at least one episode from Back Stage!! or even something fillerish centering Shougo and Rei. I dig this pairing more than Izumi x Ryouma.

LOL.. I liked the fantasy bit of Lala-Lulu.. to think all that was going on in his head.. that was good. lol

For those who don't know the character shougo is based on the singer Daigo (who is the voice actor for shougo) and Daigo is the brother of Eiki Eiki, the author of the manga. Don't know if Daigo is gay, bi, or straight but he has kissed other guys in his music videos which is probably why he's fine with his sister designing a gay character after him and even being the VA for shougo. (which in my books makes him an awesome brother)

I was really enjoying this episode. I think the first and this episode have good quality among all genres. And I am looking forward to the next with a kind of fear mind, because Daigo said on Twitter, a real BL show will start from the next.

This. He even said that he's a fan of Love Stage! A brother who read yaoi!

That Lala-lulu material is original, but it's fine since the rest is still the same with the manga. I have a vague idea in which part in the manga this anime is going to end.

DAIGO actually sounds better in the second episode. He definitely did a better job at voicing Shougo, since he sounds more natural than how he was in the first episode.

I'm straight guy too and I'm enjoying it. Izumi doesn't look like a man anyway. He looks more like a flat chested tranny.

I'm also enjoying watching Himegoto. It is only 4 minute long, unfortunately.
