I would say give this one a pass unless there's nothing else to sate your need for some Yaoi (which let's face it, is often a time of drought as it is).

While the animation is decent and the sex scenes are all right, the set up is not ideal and spends almost the whole of the second episode waffling about justifying last episode's actions.

One of the main characters in this duo is rather unlikable to boot, not that you want to see bad things happen to him, but that he has a bad personality and an off-putting view point. Doesn't help that he's played by ... Hikaru Midorikawa, whom I usually love, but can't stand listening to in BL titles (which he keeps landing roles for!).

Really a superb piece of work... if only they would continue it. Sadly, at only four episodes, this will leave you wanting and in which I case I highly recommend seeking out the original two-part OAV, which although at a much faster story pace, will grant a resolution to the story.

Also recommend the original for a more passionate, intense, and graphic bit of Yaoi anime.

However, on it's own there is an incredible world to delve into and the artwork is amazing for both characters and backdrops. For anyone who is tired of the mundane stories of classmates and businessmen that most yaoi and BL stories ... feature this is not something you should pass up!

Don't be fooled by the cheesy music of the less than imaginative opening title and the simple style, this anime is not from the 90s or even the early 2000s.

It is a charming, if not pretty by the numbers, BL story. And make no mistake that this is just shounen-ai with some rather nice, albeit sparse, make-out scenes.

The characters are given just enough time to get their motivations in, and a bit about their characters. I quite like Tachibana Shinnosuke's performance as Naoki.

I would recommend this for someone getting into BL and Yaoi and wanted to see a fully animated and realised story from the ... genre. Though veterans might find it a little lacking.
