Wait, girls love this? Even if you changed the genders, this would be still as terrible. The guy basically raped him, and they forgot everything about it in the next scene. Is the author a hikikomori?

Wow that escalated quickly. The moment when they were crying in each other's arms was romantic albeit a bit sudden. This definitely reminds me of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and in all of the right ways.

This show, like most yaoi stories, has those distasteful rape/dubcon themes. I don't get why boys-love stories can't execute their storylines like shoujo stories. That is devoid of sex and focusing more on the plot.

The first half of this ep was actually good, minus the sexual harassment part. I don't know how to feel about Usagi publishing a BL novel abt his fantasies with Misaki's brother. That's a tad creepy lol

I have a problem with the second half. So Misaki likes Usagi to the point where he wanted to punch his brother... Eh I thought the Takahiro brothers would have a deeper bond than that, esp since their parents passed away when Misaki's young. I admit the scene with Usagi crying to Misaki was pretty darn sweet. I hope it's these moments are what makes this series popular. And it got really convenient that their apartment's contract expired (though I don't understand that part I'm not knowledgeable about properties) so that Misaki can stay with Usagi. So I guess they are lovers now? lol that escalated quickly.

My thoughts exactly

Lol at the end when he figures out that Satou is actually the most common name.

Episode one and the main character gets sexually assaulted, and then they freaking brush it off? I mean, I guess if he wasn’t traumatized then that’s that, and that it might not affect people as much as others, but I still don’t really like a thing like that being used so casually. He put his hands down someone’s PANTS. Granted, that kid was being a jackass, but still, nothing excuses that. Then again, I’ve seen other work made by the creator of this series, and she seems to use sexual assault to varying degrees as a way to move a relationship along quite a bit. That seems to happen a lot in yaoi and seinen ai, actually.

Anyway, screaming to the sky, “I do not like men,” was hilarious. That was pretty hilarious, especially the fact that Usagi was standing behind him. I always feel humiliated on behalf of the characters under such circumstances lol. XD

The ending scene with the teddy bears was funny, too. An iffy first episode, but I’ll keep watching.

1st episode goes by pretty fast. I'm a big yaoi fan and so far everything in the first episode is everything a fujoshi would want in a series. Really want to see more on the relationship between Usagi and Misaki

Oh my. This is my first BL anime hahaha. I actually thought Misaki was a girl pretending to be a guy since his eyes are so big. Should've read the synopsis LOL. It's not bad, though, so forward march!!!!!!! xD

Honestly, not sure on how to feel about this. The show straight up starts with rape. Yes, rape. That was rape. Hm...

Edit: With that being said, holy fuck is this show cute. SO CUTE!!! That kiss and that whole scene is just WOW

Forced by my girlfriend to watch this.

Seriously, that was sexual assault. I'm 28 also. I would go to jail if I did what Usagi did to anyone, especially if I did it to an 18 year old boy or girl.

I mean, seriously, would any of you get into a relationship with a guy 10 years older than you who put his hand down your pants and forcibly got you off? I'm betting most of you would report him to the police.

It'd be one thing if it were shown and portrayed as unacceptable behavior, but it's basically just not treated like a big deal at all. I realize it's a matter of fantasy (just like there are also a lot of hentai based on fantasies people wouldn't actually wish to happen in real life), but damn... I guess fujoshi are just blind to this sort of thing and are like omg so cute.

Anyways, I want to go puke now...

That said, most of the episode really wasn't that bad. I just don't see how this can be considered romantic.

True, true. But not all of us are blind to this sort of thing.

And I'm assuming you won't watch anymore? Not even for the other couples or the spin-offs?

I loveee BL!! It's amazing that is why I voted 5 out of 5!! Though to bad I can't read the manga I only watched the anime. I really don't think she would let me get it she doesn't even know...but I don't care less!

Venturing a little more into BL because I have enjoyed what I've seen already. A little rushed for sure but it makes sense considering they're supposedly telling 3 stories with not that many episodes.

I actually liked this though, it kept me watching it. Would I still rate it a 6/10? Probably, yes. Did I still thoroughly enjoy it and want to keep watching? Yes. Starting to think I have a weird way of rating series... :/

Regardless, i'm interested for more :)

So wait a minute, right out of the bat on the very first episode we have s€xual assault done on the MC and a very creepy older guy and everyone is all like ... yeah we're fine, nothing to see here ... Okay and this crap anime got 3 seasons plus two OVA/special episode all the while a show that is more interesting and much better like Gravitation gets one season with a anticlimactic ending?! 

FYI Misaki: No bro you ain't no Lion, what you are is a closeted uke. Deal with it.
