THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

I'm really starting to wonder what the relationship is between Takano and Yokozawa is also Onodera going out of his way to help the mangaka finish was sweet.

Yay they are going to introduce a new couple next episode by the looks of the preview can't wait.

I'm sorry Onodera but you are definitely in love with Takano. And yeah, Onodera trying his best for the author was pretty awesome. Takano believing him was nice as well. I'm also wondering what Yokozawa was talking about. I really can't wait for the next episode.

P.S: I really can't stop listening to the ending. I wish the full song would come out already.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I am dying to know and the manga being right there in my folder does not help at all. Most probably I will spoil myself very soon.

Loved the scene where Takano grazed Onoderas hair. The animation and the pacing was unique and it had a complete different feel to it.

New couple; should I be excited?

I'm getting really sick & tired of Onodera's typical uke behavior.
The scenes with him whining about his 'aches' really pissed me off.
God - I didn't think it was possible to hate a uke more than Misaki but I guess I was wrong. Just thank heavens for cocky seme's - Takano makes the show bearable.

As far as the supposed relationship between Takano & Yokozawa; something tells me he is something of a rebound to Takano - a best-friend turned one night stand - at least that's my theory. I don't know though.

Other than that - I'm very thankful it looks like this next episode will introduce one of the other couples'. Whew.

takano could just take onodera to his[onodera] own home X) since the keys should be in his bag.

I'm merely stating an opinion, I don't see why you feel the need to validate your own opinion by trying to dissect or take my opinion as anything more than that; my own thoughts. Mine - no one else's.

In that same turn, I will continue to watch and whine and moan about this on the forums if I see fit because I can if I feel so inclined.

Good day madam.

Takano in bed was hawt :P
ive read the manga as much as there is in english. and i cant w8 for the next ep when the new couple will come along.

about the aches. this time they were the romantic kind and stuff, but previously Onodera has said that his stomach hurts. im worried he will have to collapse one day and go to hospital. but that would be a good typical situation for Takano to worry and show his concern. :P

for the uke angstiness of Onodera, it annoys me a little cuz it is such a cliche for the uke to worry about everything, but that is just cause ive watched and read enough of angsty pieces XD

nice episode ... Onodera really cute <33 ...

but there is something I noticed after 4 episodes, I think the Reactions in the Drama cd Better than in the anime ...like when Takano said " stop avoiding my eyes " If I remember well in drama cd he seemed angry ...

anyway... the next episode seems about new couple ... thanks god I dont know anything about them ...

The pacing is alright to me. I like almost every bit of the scenes. I can't help grinning at times. Hopefully, the execution for the new couple will be better than what I grasped in the manga in the next episode.

I laughed so hard at the beginning when onodera was on the phone with the manga person and everyone was yelling and freaking out in the background. ^^
This episode was alright.. It wasn't very exciting for me since I read the manga and I already knew what was going to happen though. The bed scene was my fav especially when they were all drawn all weird-lookin ahaha.

YAY new couple next week :)

Expecting Kisa's story <3

If they continue the pacing like THIS they will need a second season. And maybe a third. Oh, god.

But, hey, the only reason I like this so much it's because of Onodera. The reactions at the end were very childish, but the reasoning he did when he was helping the mangaka was very mature. He has his mature-moments in the manga as well, and because of that I don't pair him with the common ukes... And I find the scene Takano touches his forehead amazingly cute, both in the manga and in the anime. And the reaction afterward, amazingly funny: 'You can't start simpering like a manga maideeen!!!'

Onodera must be a pretty heavy sleeper to not get woken up from Takano carrying him back to his apartment, lol. But that's okay because I loved it when he woke up the next morning. XD

So we have a new couple next week then? I'm pretty sure it's not Kisa and Yukina though. Judging from the opening, it seems like there's going to be three couples in the anime.

But so far the only other couple we've seen in what's been translated of the manga is Kisa and Yukina. Does anyone know when the other couple appears in the manga?

I can't get myself to like Takano, he's a bit too arrogant, cocky and too forcefull, most of the time I feel sorry for Onodera since he really gets molested o.o" Onodera is still denying the fact he loved him so slow down Takano -_-" But well I guess that's just me?

I'm looking forward to next episode, the previeuw was kinda cute so I hope it won't dissapoint me ^^

This show is so cleverly written & I love the pacing.

I loved how Onodera showed his dedication by flying out there. ^^ He's awesome.

I really liked the scene when Takano explained why he wasn't worried <3

Yokozawa is kinda annoying... but he's a friend to Takano.

LOL at the end:

very weak and boring ep, honestly. WE NEED MORE KISSES AND LOVE SCENES! -_-"
Yokozava annoys me very much
The only thing I liked in this ep was Takano grazing Onodera head..Onodera's expression was so...hot..never saw such a stroke.
New couple you say? Well it's rather interesting, but firstly I'd like to know more about Takano/Onodera.
Hope new ep gonna be better.

So this is the first Shounen-Ai series I'm watching (the rest I've seen are OVAs and stuff) and it's not bad. Even though it's very predictable and I'm not really into boys x boys, I'd have to say it was pretty well done. I like the atmosphere and it doesn't fail to bore me. I get these Honey and Clover vibes from the art (obviously not the characters but other) and the music is really nice.

Yeah so first arc was alright. A bit formulaic but okay.

asdfkjsdklfjsdlkfj RITSU IS TOO CUTE.

That was a good ep. They definitely cut a lot of the little gags, which makes me a little sad because they made me laugh so much in the manga. It can't be helped, though. At least they're willing to focus on the main plot and development.

I'm actually really impressed with the overall animation and quality. I mean yeah it's not the best, I wasn't expecting a BL adaptation to look so good. The OP & ED are well done too.

To be honest I'm not that big of a fan of the other pairs...
(sorry but the other characters just aren't as cute as Ritsu)
