I just found it in Chinese sub. (though I preferred raw)

A spoiled bocchan found a Hybrid Child when young and he insists on keeping that one. When it's in the verge of breaking up, he asked the creator to fix it. That Hybrid Child loves him that he was worried about that spoiled but serious and kind bocchan. It took 1 year to fix it, and is back with the receipt.

I cannot wait for next ep.

That was really sweet. I quite enjoyed it and I'm glad it got a happy ending, even though it ended up costing Izumi $40,000...

Worth it for his darling Hazuki though, I think.

Looking forward to more.

It was an unexpected mini emotional roller coaster which I hope everyone can enjoy too.

Even though there wasn't even much time for us relate to the characters, I still felt for them. This one was really well written and a pleasure to view. Can't wait for the next 3 installments! Izumi could have done with a less whiny voice though.

I totally agree with the score on Mal. I'm rating the first episode as an 8.
This was very short but I could connect to the characters and Izumi's struggle.
A very cute episode and I'm glad there'll be 3 more of it. :)
Was I the only one who thought the Hybrid child was Izumi before watching this? x)

Wait guys, is this going to be episodic (like standalone episodes)? If it isn't, I'm just gonna wait until all the episodes are out.

This episode was definitely great, really many emotions there (the stronger cry, love and LUST!!!!!)
really wanted something more exposing but it was great the way the story developed... but I have to admit that Izumi (lol that name) character can be annoying. Hazuki was OMFG lovely (A sex scene with him must be glorious)

Glad that he reappeared after some time passed, since by them I was still crying... and then cried more.

I think I will pick the manga after this ends.

It's really sad when Hazuki explained everything and how Izumi really desperate searching for a way to save Hazuki.

Nobuhiko Okamoto really great seiyuu, he express Izumi's feeling really well. He did a great job to as Rin Okumura in Ao no Exorcist.

It was alright. I didn't really feel anything for this couple mostly because Hazuki barely had any monologue and Izumi felt like Nakamura's other uke characters lol.

Btw, the music is fantastic. Wow.

Waiting for the next one now~

I really liked this sentence for the ending of this 'arc'. So beautiful. Really like the series so far, the feels, the bishounen, the BL, everything!

This series really is Nakamura-sensei's opus magnum. Although it is overshadowed by the popularity of Junjou Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi.

I wasn't really sure what I'd get, just picked this up on a whim because I saw a Plastic Memories rec. This first episode turned out be a real treat. I like the character designs, reminiscent of Junjou/Sekaiichi. Just a short story about two people who are irreplaceable in each other's lives. The concept of the hybrid child seems to leave much up to the imagination, although their intended purpose is cruel given how they grow to be human like. I like what Hazuki says though "It took me 5 years to move, a year and a half to speak." But it only took him one to get back to Kotarou.

This was sooo cute and funny, typical BL story by Nakamura :3 Although it's sooo distracting that all characters in her series look almost exactly the same... Seriously, it was like watching cross between JR and SH, with Usagi and Chiaki, so weird @_@

I was a bit afraid that the setting in the past Japan wouldn't fit, but I enjoyed it a lot, even though it wasn't focused on the shounen-ai aspect as much as I hoped. Maybe there will be a little bit more in the rest of the episodes?

Little bit over the top but sweet either way.
It did feel like it was supposed to be a 12 episode show compared to just 25 minutes but they managed to make it interesting.

Just watched it; I guess there's not much into the sense of plot if it's going to be put into 25 minutes.

The atmosphære was pretty much but for the most part they went with the byronic and serious and these small moments of comical facial expressions really contrasted horribly with that.

Big fan though of the fact that the nature of their relationship is kept ambiguous — I always like to see the line between that blurred.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

I thought it would be a sad ending... I almost cried when Izumi continued to spend time searching for "moon drops" and when Hazuki said that his whole body and feelings belonged to Izumi. I'm so relieved this has a happy ending!

Wow, this was really good lol. Concept is interesting and v unique for a BL series. Well written. Easy emotional attachment to characters right off the bat. They could've just released this 1 ep and it would've felt complete haha. Beautiful.
