| Aw yeah gimme dat BL! Can't wait to hear Kamiyan in a BL series. :3 I wonder if they will only adapt Doukyuusei, or it's sequels as well. |

| OHHHHHHHH YES! I do like the series, though I prefer the sequels more!! Nice :D I hope the art is as weird as in the manga! |
   |
| Whaaat?? Color me surprised(and extreamly happy)! I would've never thought that this could get an anime adaptation! But I wonder that are they only adapting Doukyuusei since it's only one volume long? I would love to see an adaptation that also includes the sequels in it as a continuous story. Also I'm fine with A-1 because I like their slice of life adaptations (at least the ones I've seen) |

| Yus, yus. Excited to see how this turns out :o Hope the sequels will be done too~ |
 |
| I've been noticing this piece often in some form on the net, but I couldn't bring myself to get into it because of the art... However, if adapted to anime, that part may not be a problem anymore for me. First the news with Seven Days and now this (despite there not being that much material, it seems)! Things are going well for BL, I guess~ |
| OH MY HARTO |
Herlock said: Director: Shouko Nakamura Art Director: Chieko Nakamura Original Author: Asumiko Nakamura Can't be coincidence haha omoshiroi xD Anyway, let's see how this will be, the manga is only 6 chapters long |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| Never heard of it but....BL!! Wait...this only has 6 chapters...this can get animated, but things like Konya mo Nemurenai, Honto Yajuu, or even Kanda Neko's Otokogokoro series can't? D: I think the 'Gokoro set would make an adorable anime! Plus, the art is stunning! Eh, I can't complain tho...more BL is always good, I guess... |

| "Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural "Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |
| I'm currently leaning more on a theatrical film instead of TV series (if they only adapt Doukyuusei) but anything can happen |
| Like some people may have mentioned I think this may end up being a film rather than a TV series. But it doesn't matter, I am super excited! I really hope they keep exploring the BL and yuri genres there's so much there that's just begging for more recognition. |
| Studio A-1 Pictures is gonna adapt some Yaoi manga? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Awesome ! I wished for so long that one of Nakamura Asumiko's BL manga got an adaptation ! Even if it's only shonen-ai I'm really looking forward to it. This news made my day o/ |
| Wooooooooooooooo I think the whole neighbourhood heard me when I saw this. OH.MY.GOD. |
 |
| I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS OMG |
 |
| Might Check Out if i hear Good things about it |
 |
This part is missing the closing ). But yeah, not a BL fan, even though the reviews on the manga's DB page do point out some nice factors which might get me potentially interested. Thanks for the news. :) |
| Ehhh so excited! Never thought we would get an anime adaptation ;_; ♥ |
| I can't believe and actual GOOD bl series is getting animated. Here's to them not completely fucking it up. |

| F*ck YEAH! Best news of the year for me:D |

| I'm just glad it isn't JC Staff. |
| Kamiya Hiroshi has done his fair share of BL voice dramas if anyone is ever curious Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| HOLY SHIT FUCK YES. Best news ever! |
| Finally a decent BL manga getting adaptation. So excited about this. |
 |
| Sounds really cool! Almost all BL anime that I've tried to watch have been stupid or really stupid, but this seems like a realistic slice of life- story. Also the staff is full of talented people! |
 |
| not a fan of BL at all, hard to take feminine guys seriously. but love the serene mood. meh, might be worth checking out. |
| Never heard of this manga before, but I'm always happy to get some more LGBT anime. Awesome! |
 |
| I usually like A-1 SoL stuff. Will watch. |
 |
| I'm fucking crying. |
| Why am I not even surprised that people are losing their shit over something like this and calling it beautiful the way MAL seems to describe ever mediocre looking A-1 show where the first shot in the trailer is of a CGI fan. Man cannot relate to this fanbase anymore........like at all...and it's like I'm the only person who has literally never heard of this apparently amazing author of the source. I don't know I sometimes really do wonder if people are actually serious about their fervor for stuff like this. It's like hooray a fujoshi story...with Hiroshi Kamiya....again.....it's like I'm the only one that looks at this announcement and just laughs out loud. What scares me more is that people legitimately seem to think A-1 is some great studio bringing out great titles all the time these days when it's just so clear it's all a bunch of shameless commercial pandering. It just makes me very tired and weary every time they have an announcement like this to the degree it seems to make everyone else lose their freaking minds. Like I really truly wish I could get as excited as so many people seem to over stuff like this but nope...derisive laughter is the first emotion still.... |

| W-W-WWHWIHWOATHA;OIEHT;OIERHJGL;IAR;IELSRJG HOLY LRJWPEIOTJ#$TJH HOLY CRAP FINALLY A GOOD BL ADAPTATION!?!?!?!? ONE OF MY FAVORITES TOO! YOU'RE KIDDING MEEEE. I DON'T EVEN CARE IF ITS A TV SERIES OR NOT, I'M SO INSANELY HAPPY. Nakamura Asumiko!!!!!Though I think she was pretty popular before, didn't know she would get an adaptation!? Sotsugyousei is even more beautiful though, so I hope they adapt that too if this fares well. The style is perfect considering the art style, and I was worried how they would do it, but holy crap the animation and whole atmosphere of the PV was very suiting. Plus they're keeping the same VAs from the drama CD, which is a bonus since I thought they did a pretty good job. The PV was beautiful and breathtaking. I mean holy crap I'm so excited I'm jittering. This better be a full adaptation since the series is pretty short anyways. I think I'm actually going to cry! This has made my whole year!! Holy crap! And to those who don't understand the huge hype, it's Nakamura Asumiko. Throw out all your presumptions of BL (especially lustly crap because this is shounen-ai), because first of all, it's freakin' Nakamura Asumiko. Her stories are all unique. Most of her series are actually kind of abstract and dark. A happy one like this series is pretty rare. Secondly, it's a love story between two people (who happen to be guys). There's only a bit of kissing in the latter bit and its more about falling in love (without the melodrama). This is not Love Stage or Sekaiichi Hatsukoi which are poor, one-sided representations of the BL genre. |

| Not really into yaoi, but I guess I'll give it a go. I really loved the music that played in the PV. How much episodes will even air o_O I just checked out the manga and it looks like enough for 2 or 3 episodes lol Unless they'll have an original story or extend it somehow |

Plus they're putting an emphasis on the atmosphere. The PV itself showed like 1 or 2 pages at most. |
Mirorin said: The chapters are long. Plus they're putting an emphasis on the atmosphere. The PV itself showed like 1 or 2 pages at most. I just read the first chapter and skimmed through he rest, but it doesn't look like enough for a full single cour. Maybe half a single cour even if they put emphasis on the atmosphere, any more and it'll just feel dragged out. |

| I'll probably watch it, since I like yaoi. :P |
