He has to rest. He met seme guy and had argument over who he likes (with the guilts filling out). Seme guy saying he likes him as a whole, not a magician, and his magic return to normal + they are together. He starts to trust others to do the job.

Slower ver. to theme song as ED for this ep.

yay, happy ending. :>
giving this a 6/10, probably would have been better as one longer episode like the other kono danshi OVA.

Kashima looks so much like Kikuhiko from Rakugo Shinjuu <333
Such beautiful credits, showing the childhood of the two lovers.
Heartwarming series.

The conclusion and how Kashima unlocked his magic again was sweet.

That was a really good last episode ;_; Watching Kashima was quite frustrating especially in this episode since his low self-esteem reminded me of myself. I wanted to yell at him that he's the one who's put himself in that position, thinking that he's worthless unless he has magic. And I'm glad he was the one who figured that out. For people like him, they don't hear what other people has to say about them and only believe in their own thoughts, so it's up to them really to break out of their view of themselves. "Who told me that?" I thought that was well done.

What made me cry though was when Toyohi started crying and asked Kashima if Kashima thought Toyohi was a cruel person who thought "Kashima is worthless without his magic," and told Kashima not to belittle his feelings. That low self-worth can hurt not only yourself, but someone else close to you as well. Toyohi's genuine feelings for Kashima was what gave Kashima the push to resolve the internal conflict within himself.

This was a very enjoyable mini series, and I think Yamamoto Soubi likes to tackle characters who have internal conflicts. It's interesting. I hope to see a TV series from her soon, although that most likely won't happen after Meganebu's low sales. Keep up the Kono Danshi series then~

The art was really good, the music was alright. It ended in a kiss scene which is satisfying.

7/10.

Is it just me or did it end abruptly as it started abruptly. Shounen Ai seemed so much less significant

Seriously, Yamamoto Soubi should get a 1+ cour BL series. I'd love to see how far her potential can go. She already made the best existing BL Anime (excluding Doukyuusei). I think she can actually make something incredible with more screen time.

Anyway, 7/10 for this one. I will definitely rewatch it in the future because I chose to watch it separately this time (airing schedule) out of my impatience.

Artistic direction and musical choice stood out, as usual with Soubi's works. But plot and romance was also excellent. Chemistry between main pair was her strongest compared to the other Kono Danshi works.

It would be really nice as full sized anime. For this one I can give 7/10, but still - that art. Much wow. @@

I think this short series isn't so bad at all. I actually like it and I find the animation fascinating! The story may be short but it's okay the way it is. I just want to know what will happen with their relationship or so :D

I sincerely loved ComixWave Films' animation. I'm finally getting used to it, I hope we'll get more anime from them. And what a heartwarming way to end a shounen-ai anime. Loved this!

8/10

The series was good but I think 7 minutes is too short it should be at least 20 minutes per episode.

That intense emotional heart pouring scene by Toyohi to Kashima was good and cemented his love for him.

This anime had great art and a fine story considering it was less than 4 ep and 7min length.

Wish though magic was plenty in this show but, I guess it was more focused on romance.

7/10.

aww. the ending was sweet and he became a healthier and happier person :D that’s the kinda thing more stories need to be about! just saying tho if someone tells u they’re in love with u the first time u meet, that’s kind of a red flag and they’re probably being manipulative so like be careful.

too short to really feel for the characters but I like that resolution where he recollected and realized that he's the only who's been putting pressure on himself.

the art is fantastic throughout the series.

Blimey, this was good!! I am glad I learnt about Yamamoto Soubi. Hope she makes more stuff.

Kashima's fears just burst out of him, which was so scary.

Didn't think I'd end up getting so emotional. I love this anime!!!

I rated it 5 because at this point I haaate the "kids' self-esteem got nothing to do with their upbringing whatsoever" Japan's fav bs brainwashing, it's damn everywhere. otherwise I would've given it 6 just because of the interesting visuals.
