| hell yeah man sasamiya is here to save anime |
 |
| An okay start; pacing seems all over the place though. The interactions feel too forced but that should get better moving forward. I hope they tone down the excessive background effects at least. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| oh my gosh this is so gay! but at least not hardcore torrid gay YAOI like the recent once... 3/5. |
 |
| "MYAA-CHAN!" (灬´ᴗ`灬)♡ Seeing Sasamiya in animated form really makes me happy. So fluffy, cute and sweet :") especially the ED. I don't know what else to say, I can't stop smiling while watching it even I'm still smiling while typing this. |
 |
| Love this, they're so cute |
  |
| The romance felt kinda rushed and unnatural, still somewhat good though it might be because of the non-linear way the show is, or maybe the romance part of it was a bit too quick or something else idk Still was somewhat wholesome and good Though I dont normally watch BL, so idk if this is how most BL are |
| The episode feels pretty disjointed. IDK probably skip this anime. |
| The structure of the first episode was a little weird (constant switching from present to flashback), but overall I'm pretty intrigued by it so far. It seems cute and while not completely void of some of the aspects of the BL genre (ex: grabbing the other's shoulders in a dramatic manner), it wasn't common and didn't feel fetishy. For how hyped this adaptation is, I hope it turns out to be a cute mlm SoL! Looking forward to future episodes. |

Im assuming that you have already read the manga? If yes, then are there any other couples besides them? There's currently an ongoing spin-off featuring Hirano and his roomate, Kagiura, titled Hirano to Kagiura. |
| I think it's an alright first episode. It looks like it'll be super light-hearted and simply cute. They can work a bit better on the dialogue, but it's a decent first episode. We'll see what this will develop into. orugio said: Yeah, that's a thing in BL. Seiyuus are usually the same. For example, you can't say BL without saying Uchida Yuuma LOL. I gasped a lot like I've already read the manga but them being voiced feels different. Anyhow, has anyone else noticed that seiyuus in BL animes are always the same? |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |

The romance is not rushed at all lol; it’s actually a slow burn. Sasaki did develop feelings a little fast, but they’re not together yet, and what was shown at the beginning wasn’t “love at first sight” but more like a premonition of getting there. |

| haven't watched bl in long time and almost forgot how cringe this shit is |
| Im a huge yuri fan but now, Im taking a shot for my 1st BL anime on this series, it's my first time to watch a BL anime and I like it so far. Worth the shot, I guess. Fluffy moments on the 1st epi, let's see if I can stick around with this. Love the art as well. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
skylucario said: Well I do have some good Bl recommendations if you want them that is.Oh yeah, another thing, for those worried about the confusing flashbacks: Those don’t pop up at all later in the manga, which follows a very linear plot. The first volume or so wasn’t officially serialized, hence it being kind of a mess and having a different feel from the later manga. The pace also slows down quite a bit. devastatingdance said: Y'all have been saying that since No.6 in 2011, Yuri on ice in 2016, Banana Fish in 2018, Given in 2019, Umibe no Etranger in 2020.... consider that maybe there are plenty of good BL lol I would not say No. 6, BF, or Given are wholesome, nor that Umibe no Étranger is unproblematic. That might just be my opinion, and it’s fine that they’re not; they still have merit and people are allowed to enjoy them. Additionally, out of these, ONLY THE LAST TWO are actually BL; the others just have queer male characters. This kind of weakens your argument, especially considering that the person who said that may have been referring to “BL” that focuses primarily on romance, as most do. There are not a lot of good straight-up BL anime, nor are there many options. I’ve been investigating BL manga for a very long time; by my standards, there are not a lot of good ones. Sasaki to Miyano isn’t a BL because it 1) is marketed as a shōjo (demographic) romance/slice of life (genre) in Japan; 2) it treats BL as something separate from the experiences of the characters within their relationships; 3) it’s meant to be able to appeal to multiple demographics, showing that gay romance in manga can exist outside of BL because it can happen in real life, too; and 4) all of these things were the intent of the author. Apologies for the wall of text. I’ve been a fan of this series for a really long time, so I know a lot about it and have done lots of thinking. |

| I wasn't expecting it to get an anime but it finally got one. I remember starting the manga in 2016 and still continuing. It feels great to watch this in anime format. Can't wait to relive the beginning of their wholesome relationship. I always read the manga with a smile and now I'm gonna watch the anime with a smile. They're just so adorable together. |
| Hmmm Its okay but definately not as good as people were claiming it to be. And its coming from a huge BL fan(And someone who happens to be gay) Honestly it was a bit cliched(The choice of liking a guy is not even questioned) The characters are tropy no offence. And i heard it adapted 4 chapters of the manga? Well i guess i will check the manga out as well. BUt so far, Its doesnt have the charm or tension i expect from a BL series...(I guess kyuugo and Djun works in general have raised my BL Standreds to a very high level) |

Nexis09 said: lemonsorbet said: Just because you watch it doesn't mean you're the target demographic? OP was giving off 4channer vibes, though, referring to women as "the females". I'm not saying that I'm the target demographic, I'm just tired of any gay media being 'for females only' or whatever and this one in my opinion appeals more to both. Also yeah lol Also, can you stop? The question was asked as to why OP said "females" (instead of women/girls idk) and that is because this is not considered BL by the author's intention, it is meant to be shoujo that just happens to have gay main characters like everyday life. Shoujo is targeted towards women, hence why OP said women. This is not in direct correlation to the stereotype that only women like BL stories, all BL fans are aware anybody can enjoy the genre. |

| This was even more boring than I expected, but at least zoomers will finally have another BL to references other than Given. But still very boring. |
 |
| I enjoyed it. The flashbacks were kinda annoying but the rest of the episode was pleasant. Sasaki is probably my favorite character so far in the series. Miyano is also adorable. This anime is super fluffy and gay and I love it! I'm giving the premiere a 7. We'll see if the rating goes higher in the future. |
| Cartoons and anime is my reality. |
| I finally found something else to watch besides SnK this season lol It seems like a really sweet show, I enjoyed the first episode very much. I already like both mcs and the blond guy too. Looking forward seeing how this story unfolds! |
 |
| Miyano's note taking of Sasaki's interests was cute. Sasaki eating the chocolate even though he didn"t like I personally experienced. A girl I liked then who doesn't like cucumbers gave me her cucumber from her food and I don't like cucumbers but I ate it just because it came from her and I thought sharing food was a nice thing to experience. Not totally sold on the show but I will continue watching for now. |
| Drinking game: drink whenever a character says 'kawaii'. Also .. the walking umbrella, meeting on the train, defending someone scene, shy nerd character and the other tough senpai, saving tough guy, lending stuff to stay in contact, indirect kiss scene.. All so unbelievably cliché. And I loved every second of it. |

| Not a fan of all the flashbacks, tho everyone's saying after this episode they stop so thats something. However I can't help but think that this anime is just gonna cater to fujoshis, Especially with one of the mc's calling himself a fudanshi |
| Wacky pacing and confusing chronology aside, this was a pretty good episode! The guy I'd been dating for a bit dumped me out of nowhere yesterday, so watching this show is my way of coping lol. I haven't watched a DEEN anime in a while, and I'm ngl, but the animation is almost non-existent. Reminds me of JC Staff's Food Wars. But it's watchable, and the characters and general wholesomeness makes up for it! |
 |
| Started watching this because one of my priv mutual keeps talking about it. the story is simple but really cute and wholesome! I dont usually watch anything ~boys love~ but this one is really really soft and I want to watch more to know about what's gonna happen to both mcs. |
| Well, I guess it's cute and wholesome, it's really not my kind of thing since I'm not into men at all xD but at least I tried |
 |
| Not too too bad, but... a bit shallow. Lacks substance and meaning, just seems to be endless fluff with a generic story, generic characters, and overplayed music. Not bad, but not innovative nor original. |

He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread. |
