I hoped it would be a childhood friend/ osananajimi romance story. Instead, the main characters are interested in somebody else. What a disappointment. To be honest, I am nostalgic for good osananajimi romance anime with definitive (not open or harem) happy endings for the pairing. Instead, how it turned out crushed my expectations. I know, not all childhood friends fall in love, but lately romance anime series also tend to be harem-like and the endings are harem or open too. Where are the shows like Lamune, Hani hani, Future boy Conan, or at least like Robotics; notes? :-( Omnibus format ones like Amagami aren't bad either imo.

I mean, when I read the initial description before the first episodes were aired, I gave too much hope to the expectations that turned out not to be the case here :-(

Haruta's "feelings" towards Kusakabe-sensei is probably nothing but infatuation born out of admiration. At the very least, it won't go the homo route and likely to end with Haru X Chika; kind of like Hibike! Euphonium.

Let him like the professor all he wants, but later I expect HaruChika to happen, because why else would you put it in the goddamn title!?

If somehow it comes to Harutaxchika then I will continue


Don't get your hopes up

Decent episode, great to see a gay love interest in a non-yaoi orientated anime. The chemistry between the MC and the main girl was subtle but it worked, they didn't overplay the fact the MC is gay and gave him characterisation before the reveal.
The main girl is cute, I love the dramatic/theatrical tsundere archetype and the other club members are neato burrito too, especially the twins.

EDIT: A little torn about this thread, on the one hand there's nothing wrong with dropping a show for whatever reason you have, but it's definitely homophobia, you're dropping the series due to an aversion to gay characters, that is literally the definition of a phobia- to avoid something irrationally. I don't think anyone here is suggesting people that drop this show hate gay people, but it certainly shows a degree of shot sightedness because it clearly isn't the main focus of the show.
To the people that actively called the anime disgusting for it, seriously what the fuck. Dropping a show because you aren't interested in the gay romance is absolutely fine (It's not like that's an active campaign against homosexuality) but to say it's disgusting makes you seem like a seriously repugnant person. Not to mention the majority of the people that seem to demonstrate this ignorance are the people who pride themselves in being incestuous paedophiles


I agree completely

You don't have to be a yaoi fan to be able to watch homosexual characters.


In the world of anime, this kind of anime is tailored for female yaoi fans, not PC internet kids who can't choose what gender to be on a daily basis.

Don't care about you, but I don't want to see some boy talking about loving his adult male teacher. To me, that's disgusting.

To me, people who say things like you just said are disgusting.
Gay people exist and they do nothing to you. Just drop this show and stop attacking it like it attacked you personally. It's just a young gay crush.

ngl im watching this bc of certain trash individuals who hoped the mc won't be gay. but he is and he is wonderful.

the pilot was much better that i expected too. i expected the episode to drag, but it didnt and everything worked really well for me.

The homophobia in MAL Is more disgusting than this show. Guys grow up. Geez.

Other than that good first episode, this is probably one of the most interesting love triangles in a very long time, kinda getting bored with all this hetero/predictable stories.

At least we don't know where this plot will go, unpredictability at its best.

Chika is cute and funny. But not liking Haru especially that I feel awkward knowing he likes a male teacher. The animation and quality is high.

Chika also likes her teacher yet you hate Haru because of that? How can someone even hate this angel?

Stupid nonsense that this show should be classed as "Shounen-ai"
In the same category, should Tamako Market be "Shoujo-ai"? It's exactly the same shit, one person has a crush on the same gender. I'm baffled that people are grabbing their pitchforks thinking that the teacher would hook-up with the dude, but the same people are completely fine if the teacher hooked up with the girl. MAL never stops to surprise me with it's trash users. Grow up.

Anyways, the show itself doesn't seem to be anything too special. Will give it a few more episodes before drop decision.

And damn dat fhana opening.

I wouldn't have been fine in that case either. It would have been equally disappointing for me. I hoped for a Haruta x Chika romance and dropped the series NOT because of Haruta's homosexuality, but because the pairing I was expecting isn't going to happen.

The Chaika eyes are way too distracting. Seems like a pretty mediocre anime.
The gay curveball was kinda surprising.

Completely. Euphonium has better animation and music. But, it was rather bland and boring. Plus most of the characters weren't interesting. It wasn't a super fun watch, even though, in general, I enjoyed the series. HaruChika is like a not quite as good version of Hyouka, which is a fantastic series, with some great and endearing characters. HaruChika isn't quite on that level yet, but in my opinion at least the characters here are more compelling than in Euphonium.

it was pretty fun. the character design is meh but the eyes....

The mystery was...not bad nor good. And I didn't expect a love triangle like that! It's fun so far, I'm gonna continue. Some people here aren't into yaoi and stuff, but I don't get it. It didn't have a shounen ai tag, so Haruta's "love" is probably admiration.

the teacher's voice doesn't fit though. He sound like a kid rather than a 26 year old man.

set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️

holy shit that last moment was... so unpredictable

anyway it felt rushed, the story didn't flow nicely on my head. they should have not thrown the mystery right away, i don't even remember whos who beside the two main characters. Hope it gets better (also hoping the main male character gets cured later on)

Define HaruChika?
Answer: 1 young male student (Haruta) + 1 young female student (Chika) being in love with their male teacher, thus HaruChika..

+ music + mystery

hmmph.. I'm only watching this because of my Anime Challenge. Hope the anime is not too boring/bad.

Interesting love triangle dynamic too bad the characters don't really pop other then Haru and that's only a slight degree. I've always wanted a boy and girl fighting over another dude but it's kinda lack luster so far.

Also the music club aspect and solving a mystery like. Kayyyyyy and???

I came into this knowing nothing, I thought this was just going to be a good romcom of two childhood friends, it was not.
