Hm,a flashback how they met and how he felt in love.Pretty light episode I must say, but oddly I enjoyed it. A nice break from the usual, although kinda posessive from start.
Was this a filler or exist in the manga?

This episode was really sweet. It was really nice to have a story from Junta's point of view, I like his character a lot more now. He's more sentimental and thoughtful than he comes across to other people.

This one was pretty much a prologue, and it was really good too!

So Junta was pretty much an apathetic young man, who after meeting Takato, was taken by desire, and something awakened inside of him. I really liked the rawness, and intensity of his feelings, and how their first work together went, even though we know this ends up with a problematic start, the build-up to it was pretty nice!

What a BORING episode !

Just a long and unnecessary flashback about how Junta fell in love with Takato.
I honestly don't think we needed this. And it brings some confusion with the first episodes. I didn't realize the two of them had already such a background together. It was not really showed at first.

I just want to see the evolution of their relationship. This kind of episode would have been perfect as an OVA or some sort of "Episode 0" extras. I'm disappointed, one week of waiting for this...

So Junta fell in love with Takato's timid nature, I guess he didn't care that he hated him.

That was cool flashback and I guess it was needed to show us what made him fallen in love with him.

Good episode,

"It's Sakimaki. Don't get too close to him otherwise you'll feel like you want to punch him." Well that was direct lol.

So something like a prequel episode to the series told in Junta's perspective. Alright, who directed this episode? Because this was actually pretty good...

Actually it was stated during the conversation between Takato and Junta at the first episode that they did work on a drama together before the series that. :)

I've been wanting to drop this anime, but finally we had a good episode!
So far their relationship seemed so annoyingly fake

Yeah I know, I remembered something like that, but I didn't realize they already interracted *that* much before the episode 1. I mean, they almost kissed already.

Best episode so far. Made me appreciate Junta a bit more. As for Takato, he's as precious as ever, he really deserves to be treated with love and care, so it's nice to see that Junta isn't just obsessed with him for no good reason.

It existed in the manga and was far longer. 4 out of the 5 chapters of the 3rd volume were flashback. 3 of the flashbacks were Chunta's and then the other was Takato's and then the fifth chapter of the volume was (manga spoilers if you don't want them)

lol i really don't care about spoilers, many times i spoiler myself,. So it did existed, that is interrsting. Ididn't read the manga, because sex bores me to hell if is non stop :)) ... i used to read when was young, but now i look for other stuff in amanga. Isee, that is interesting why he was sick :O. Well was Chunta's flashback so i think they tought wasn't relevant that part, but would been nice to be, maybe in other flashback :O

I am glad we got to see Chunta's perspective, and how he came to fall in love with Takato, and how he developed into our lovable horny angel! c;

So, this episode is just like a prologue to episode 1. I would have liked that the show had started with this episode but nevermind.

Great flashback episode. I live for these & this was well-directed & the mood & tone was well-conveyed. Also great it was in Chunta’s POV. It was nice seeing how he isn’t that one-dimensional cheerful angel that everyone sees him as. Him riding his bike is also mad hot ♡_____♡ And we also got to see even more of how great Takato is, even back then. Even if he saw Junta as an up&coming rival & didn’t necessarily take a liking to him, he still earnestly looked at him & treated his acting seriously & offered him advice. A true senpai & passionate about his craft. And how he dealt with that pig of a producer. Takato is seriously so great!!!!! I know it’s a Chunta episode but seeing Takato through the eyes of him just makes him shine even more.

Junta sure is hot......riding a bike.....topless watching Takato’s films.....so hot......and always knows how to rub people the wrong way....why would you want to steal a kiss from such a sickly guy that’s literally passed out in a hospital lmao did not find that romantic at all. Could have been more subtle.

I’m going to chase you, Takato-san. So that the next time we meet, we’ll be side by side and I’ll be able to express these feelings and take you into my arms

That was actually nice how it went full circle at the end with Junta calling after Saijou-san♡ They could have shared a much better & compelling relationship & story if Junta didn’t let their relationship start as messed up as it did. Their relationship could have started out & developed better. Because most of it is just typical abusive-turned-romanticised-yaoi fluff.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Idk man. The rest of the show is rape dogshit compared to this really well made episode. Insane symbolism, animation and adds motive. Also connects the hint of relations from before.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me that this was a backstory until the end of the episode. The entire time I thought it was the future.

This whole show was really well-animated. All the characters and the emotions that ran through them were so drastically beautiful. The story was so well written. If it wasn't for Bl, then this show would have gotten so much recognition tho. I really loved this one
