I liked it, the main char is really funny sometimes ^^ He does remind me a bit of Misaki :) I like the char design and the animation seems quite good. I hope it'll be a "second Junjou Romantica", I need a good shounen-ai/yaoi anime with an actual plot in it <3

Already loving it. Can't wait for the next episode. The Emerald team made me laugh so hard with their "cycle".

Oh, and when they showed Usagi, I about died. I should've expected it, what with the manga company, but I didn't think about it. I was, like, NO WAY WHUT DA FUCK?

I love this one more than the episode 0, I couldn't stand the whiny Ritsu...I am glad he is this grumpy one uke :D...
Also the ending song is so nice ♥...I hope the full version come out fast...

Well it's about time! I definitely liked this better than the OVA.
I just like adult love rather than high school love. It's not as cheeeesy.
I did a squeal when I saw Usagi LOL. I hope there are more Junjou cameos. xD
I have a hunch that this anime will be the same as JR with the 3 different couples which is weird cause I read the manga and there's only one couple?!
Buuut anyway I'm excited for this :)

So far, I'm liking this more than I thought I would.

I'm with Onodera on the overwhelmingness of the ungodly pink, cutesy office, though. *shudders*
Also, joining the rest of ppl who squeed at seeing Usagi..I'm so JR-deprived. T_T

Err first off I just wanna say that I'm a straight male...but...

This anime is pretty good. It has that sort of feel to it that makes you think it has a lot of potential.

At first I was uncomfortable with the male-male love thing (I still sorta am) but it actually had a pretty neutral feel to it as well.

The character designs remind me a lot of Skip Beat! Or Nana..can't remember which resembled which more.

I'm wondering if I'm the only straight dude that's watching this?

Oh boy, at the beginning my thought was like "Another crappy Yaoi again?" and then it said "10 years later" I was like WTF.

Well it is indeed not the typical Shounen-Ai you see often. It has some interesting story to it instead of with just some big guy and skinny guy having romantic scene.

I thought similarly. I've never watched anything yaoi-related before, so I didn't quite want to watch some stereotypically super-gay high school like the first part seemed to imply. Having the characters be in their 20s/30s worked for me.

Even so, there are quite a few things that I don't particularly like about this show so far, such as the faces. Faces are drawn fine close-up, but they look terrible from any further away. In particular, there are some Charlie Brown faces during the scene with the manga artist and in the editing room. And is that autotune that I hear in the ending song? Most importantly, though, the show seemed to whack me over the head with its premise every time I thought it was going to have a natural progression. First scene? Confession at school. Manga artist needs to draw better? Let's sexually harass the new guy. Main character spends all night reading manga so he can become interested in his new job? Guess what, the editing room is suddenly PINK AND FILLED WITH STUFFED ANIMALS. It's like it wants to constantly reassure me that this is about gay people.

Rant aside, the main character seems to be reasonably freaked by each of those things. I like him for that, and also for his inner monologue quips. If nothing else, he at least seems like a promising character. I sense drama before long, though.

Am I the only one that finds it funny that this is coming out RIGHT after Bakuman finished airing? We sure are getting a lot of anime about the manga industry lately.

Anyway, I actually liked it a lot. It had a lot of the same meta elements that made me like Junjou Romantica--poking fun at the tropes in shoujo manga and boys' love, but doing so affectionately. I still don't get how Ritsu hasn't figured out that Takano was his ex-boyfriend though. Seriously, you're only 25--how do you forget your first love's face altogether? Maybe if it was a particularly nasty break-up, I guess...?

Yeah, it's very similar to JR. But that's fine considering how JR is the only shounen-ai anime except for Loveless that I've actually enjoyed.

Can't wait to see more of this, may even have to check out the manga <3

You saw a OVA (episode 0) not TV series (episode 1).

Haha, and is it just me or was that Usami (from Junjou Romantica) that Ritsu had been editor for while working at his dad's company? XD


It was him obviously, but wasn't he supposed to be working with Marukawa from the beginning? :P

I'm really looking forward to the next episode^^ even though I'm reading the manga it's so much better when it's an anime (because in the manga, drawings are trashy)

it had Lolz, the animation was good. Overall it doesn't progress either slow or fast.
Not to mention the Opening and Ending. Especially ED! I love that ED.

It could happen. While I read the manga I thought it was impossible and stupid too, but a few weeks ago I met my best friend who I haven't seen for the past 7 years, we actually lost contact with each other, and I remembered her but she didn't. She was shocked to know that this is me

Lol so believe it, people could forget.

I want to see this anime for a very long time now and I'm glad that this anime don't disappoints me a bit.

Ritsu's voice is very different from Hibari-san.Kondo Tadashi is doing a good job for Ritsu's role.

Looking forward for the next episode.

I tried to criticize how silly everything was for the first half but then it kept going and at some point I realized this is the same person who made Junjou Romantica and I should just goddamn enjoy this because I honestly do, no use fighting it.

The first episode was quite solid. Kinda predictable in some aspects like
.

I really like how light-hearted this series turned out to be(then again it's from the same author who brought JR! so no surprise there). I love the art style too-I think I like the anime's art better than the manga art.

OP and ED are perfect, both in art and song.

Voice acting is flawless too although high school Ritsu made me cringe a little. >_<

It was cute. Episode 0 explained a lot.

Also, did anyone notice that Akihiko Usami also came in for a while, when Ritsu was telling about his love for books.

Honestly, that was ridiculously boring. 4/10

You don't need to say that out of the first episode.


Yeah i noticed Usami too! He was in the flashback

Oh my God!!! I had missed Junjou Romantica so much and finally something as great is out!!

The art is very similar.For a moment I thought I was watching Misaki at the school library. But the story looks more promising. I like it when the romance starts between two people who don't like each other.
