Settie looks cute at times. I wish his mom was a bit better and I feel bad that he was stuck with Toru and others.

I kind of hope it does like some bl series and has some other relationships going on.

I love the OP and the soundtrack

Settie is pretty cute, but Kensuke is the real cutie here. And as much as I hate smoking, even Kousuke is pretty, um, smokin'. /groan

It kinda makes me think of OPM in Yaoiland, though....

Who sold their soul for a new BL anime?
This is pretty cute ^u^ Kousuke seems like an interesting character so far.

Though, I really hope(d) that they wouldn't include Oshiba x Hasekura's story from Hitorijime Boyfriend - I have a special kind of hatred towards that pairing. Well, maybe the anime is just skimming over it from the side and won't actually include the story, which is what I'm anticipating.

Good ep, the plot kinda different than the manga, so many things happened in 1 ep...they should focused on setti story first tho, but good ep overall.
I love the OST when they meet at the bridge, so beautiful it give me the aria vibe xD well same composer after all. Still kinda worried how they gonna writeoff the hasekura x kensuke story...hope it will good, no rape pls ;^;

as far as i know from reading the manga theres no rape things in kousuke x setti relationship(main couple from hitorijime my hero), but the author and the staff decided to join hitorijime boyfriend couple too(hasekura x kensuke)that have the rapes thing in the manga ugh...idk why they decide to add hitorijime boyfriend couple, I hope they changed the plot for those two couple....

They seemed to introduce too much stuff at once but oh well. If we get a cute light-hearted BL anime, there's nothing to complain about! The art style is quite nice, and the mangaka has really good taste, yum. I hope it stays somewhat light-hearted, I'm not big on melodrama...

When I read the manga I didn't quite understand what was going on with the bear killer at first. That was probably because of the scanlator but I'm glad I wasn't as confused with the anime.

It's very cute! I wonder what's going to happen with this anime. (I forgot everything that happened in the manga)
It doesn't seem like this will be all-out fluffy romance. The mood I get from this is rather dark (mostly due to the gang) so I expect things to happen that are more than just emotions, i.e. a gunshot rather than the MC getting jealous because the other guy talked with someone.

Oh dear... seems like we're on opposing ends here ;)
I would love this to get more dramatic :p

The characters' personalities are rather unique based on what I've seen in BL's so far and their backstories are also compelling to say the least.

I also want to commend the studio for their amazing pick of Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Ooshiba's VA. I really like his voice ^-^

the opening theme is alright but I really didn't like the ending theme ;_;

really liked main character design and some other character designs so that's a big plus. MC is really interesting with his talks about fake heroes. Dont know which kinds of vibes it gives me but the whole being with gangsters just to belong and then realizing it was wrong and now you escape them. damn cant remember where i remember it from >_< All in all the anime was pretty interesting.
Didnt like OP or ED but they were at least listenable. Visuals are kinda nice, as i said especially character designs are quite nice.

Anyway what's wrong with that recipe in the preview? Wow thanks i'm definitely trying out that recipe of yours ^^ Some Love Kome We love Rice shit :D

basically this is adaptation from hitorijime my hero, but the staf and the author joined story from hitorijime boyfriend too, so many things happened in ep 1 because they mold both story in this anime.

Lol those ppl who hate the genre and didn't watch the ep, even dirtied they hand just to come to the forum and posting their hate for the show, we dont even want to know if ur straight or not, just move on guys. Ignore it.

Should've checked the genre tags before I watch. 10/10 disgusting.


Nothing more disgusting than a homophobic, intolerant, fragile, insecure ass who enjoys yuri anime and manga like citrus and jerks off to lesbian porn, but god forbbid two dudes fall in love with each other. How hypocritical.

As for the first ep, I liked it. Could've been better, but it's not that bad and a good start. Even tho the story isn't anything innovative or mind-blowing. It's cute. The opening and ending are both pretty decent too. My only complain is merge of "My Hero" and "Boyfriend", I know it helps telling the story and with the flow, but I honestly have 0 interest in the "Boyfriend" couple. I don't care about their misery, even after reading the manga. And I am guessing they'll take up tons of screentime that I'd rather have them spend on the main couple instead. Perhaps it's bc I dislike the annoying young brother, Kensuke or bc their love story was painfully mediocre at best and they have no chemistry or sparks whatsoever between each other. I honestly could've lived without them.

Btw who's that sasuke emo guy? I don't remember him from the manga? Is he a new character?

yeah, it's only 1 vol, but beware the boyfriend story/romance are really bad(my honest opinion). If it didn't clicked with you, you should read Hitorijime my hero instead, the story and the couple(kousuke x setagawa) are really sweet :) whole diff than the boyfriends story.
Basically the spin off manga(my hero) is far more better than the main manga(boyfriend).

Well, as for this season we only have hitorijime my hero for shounen ai genre :"). The rest mostly are bait or just bishounen things.
Ah, did you already watch doukyuusei? If you haven't you should see it, their relationship are cute! and story are good.
What sho-ai genre that've you seen tho? :O
want to know, so I can rec some.
But sho-ai/BL anime variety are kinda small, we only got those genre 1-2x times each year lol
As for manga I know many good sho-ai/BL manga that are good, if u want rec. :D

then you should try to watch Doukyuusei (it's a movie), the artstyle are kinda unique but the story are good, if u want sho-ai show with drama try to watch Hybrid Child, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, JR(beware JR season 1-2 are kinda graphic) those 3 have rapey things just like many other BL, story are good but kinda meh sometimes..but the OST are good lol, it helps building up the mood. Love stage more to romcom comedy.
For anime that have sho-ai vibe/bait is Ookiku furikabutte, Samurai flamenco.

Anyone who watches this and hates it only on the merits that its a gay romance anime now knows how I feel when I try and watch a new anime and its just a bunch of tit jiggles and panty shots. And then I never go on threads related to the show and complain about it. Its difficult being a mature adult and not complaining to the fans of the show about why you don't like a thing, I know.

Anyway, first episode seemed like a decent start? I really hope it is all "consensual" stuff, because the real trope-y forced stuff drives me nuts. Its going to be a real shame if the side couple ends up like that and its present in the show.

It kind of gave off similar vibes to Super Lovers. Probably because of the age difference/lots of same seiyuu. This episode felt all over the place though and was a little confusing. Hopefully things will get better from here. Give me some real BL and not tame stuff pls.
