Hitorijime My Hero

Masahiro Setagawa is a hopeless teenager who is often used by the neighborhood bullies as an errand boy. Defenseless, Masahiro knows that nobody will ever save him. However, his life drastically changes when he meets Kousuke Ooshiba, a man known as the "Bear Killer," who takes down neighborhood gangs.

A year later, Masahiro and his former friend, Kensuke Ooshiba, attend high school, only to find that Kousuke is their math teacher. While the three grow closer, Masahiro starts to view Kousuke as his "hero," and Kousuke develops an urging desire to protect Masahiro. However, their normal lives take a turn when Kensuke's childhood friend, Asaya Hasekura, returns, seeing Kensuke as more than just a friend, much to his surprise. Will the three boys be able to live a regular high school life? Or will forbidden love keep them apart forever?

I am a very great fan of other types or out side of the box animes where age gaps are present. Its a real thing in real life so why shouldnt it be present in an anime?

I love this couple and their dinamic in the entire anime & manga chapters. I loved this couple the moment they vibed with each others and founded out their feelings with each other, growing towards each other and exploring more than they tought it would be. I a fan of age gaps and the fact that Kousuke is a teacher it spices up the entire level of their interaction. ... Almost forbiden love. But as a BL anime, its a good addition to the other BL animes out there.

Mixed Feelings

Even tho it was fun to watch because it offered plenty of humorous moments that lightened the mood, I have mixed feelings about it.

First, I guess the anime could have a bit more action moments.
Second, an important question that I always bring up about this anime is: how, just how, Kensuke and Asaya have a relationship that is way more funnier, loving, and normal, compared to the real world we live in, compared to Masahiro and Kousuke? The second plot love story is what made me finish the anime XD

Another thing is the age of the characters: Kousuke - is 27 or something, and Masahiro ... is 15...?

Nevertheless, I would recommend it to a person who is new in the shōnen-ai genre, but I think I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is already into Yaoi anime and stuff because I don't think that it is amazing or even a masterpiece: it's just good.

Not Recommended

Somehow I gave this show an 8 when it came out and I was a teen. Now, upon rewatching a few episodes as an adult, I'm flabbergasted. How did they get away with a series about a 27-29 yo kissing and sleeping (in the manga) with a 15-17 yo. Ok so what if they have Some cute moments? The shows feels a lot more boring/cliche/predatory in 2024 afted we had stuff like Given, Tadaima Okaeri, Doukyusei, Sasaki to miyano, Stranger by the Sea, which are at least closer to normal lgbt rep and not a mishmash of old yaoi tropes. I guess I never really ... liked student x teacher, though it could work if there's a time skip and they only start dating later, or meet again after a few years idfk, still icky but it would at least be LEGAL. Seriously, wtf were they on when they decided to make this series. 27 with 15 bleh. Disappointing rewatch. Bye.
