----------------------------------------
OVA ep.1 in Takano's point of view! Oh he already notice the "stalker" Ritsu Oda by going back to the books that he wants to read again and noticed his name, and gradually noticed he was watching him. He was just teasing him for his love??

Their parents were so busy with their matters that they don't care about their own son. So Takano was jealous of Ritsu, who looked like he's from the caring family. He feels irritated about pure things.

So it's Ritsu's first time to eat fast food restaurants. Ritsu reads Usami's literature!!

Takano changes with Ritsu's appearance. So when he gradually realizing the feeling, he invited Ritsu to his house?

The girl who likes Takano is voiced by Azuki (Bakuman.)?

Takano's holding hands again! (in the memory, he held his hand first, and Ritsu ran away, and second time, it's back to present and held the hand to feel more comfortable, but Ritsu didn't run away!)

So sad to see it ending.

SOOO CUTE.. I feel all fuzzy inside from watching this.. But alsoo.. Empty.. T.T Sooo sad to see a good anime ending.. Please? Season 3 ? I don't think we'll get a S3 because of Manga material and such. BUT WE'LL STILL HOPE WON'T WE? At least an OVA would be nice (BUSINESS TRIP FTWW!!!)

I Aaaaaahw'd at the last few sentences:
I didn't think I'd ever love you this much when I first met you..
You're not the first person I ever went out with, but you ARE my first love. Not that you even know that..

TAKANO-SAN IS ROMANTIC.

Two of the best anime of the season are officially over Mawaru Penguindrum and this. At least this one ended on a cute and happy note. Still will miss it though this made it to my overall favorite anime along with MP.

10/10 this season was just as strong as the first and I do hope for at least an OVA or a third season in the future.

This episode was so cute :3 especially since we got to see it from Takano's POV =)
I hope that there will be a season 3 well at least when more chapters come out... I want more! I'm really happy I ordered Junjou and Sekaiichi, they'll be delivered on Jan 5 =D♥ Now I just need season 2...

I was planning to give this an 9, but this episode was adapted from my favorite chapter from the manga and IT WAS SO CUTE! The whole thing was just... awwn. <3
I just love how Takano at first just wanted to destroy Onodera's feelings, feeling bad because he was happier than him, but then slowly he changed and fell in love with Onodera. ;w; So damn cute! And younger Takano is so handsome, I love his short hair. ~

Can't help but give it a 10 now.

Seriously. It was just a recap of the OVA but narrated by Masamune rather than Ritsu...there was pretty much no new content except the last couple minutes.

Dropped from a 7/10 to a 6/10 due to the anti-climatic ending. :|


I think you're missing a large part of what actually happened. This episode is based off a chapter of the manga and seeing things from Takano's side was really pivital to the story. They should have stuck it elsewhere rather than the finale.

Actually, he said that he loves Takano - but he has a little problem with his voice xD (reaction of Takano was great _^_ Remember? Something like "I think that I've missed the biggest thing of my life" _^_)

Actually it wasn't his voice, but the rain started to pour really loudly, so Takano couldn't hear Ritsu.
(I think it was a car sound in the manga?)


Hmh. Wasn't that great of a last episode. They should have put this episoder elsewhere.

i don't think this made a good final episode. i think it was a great part of the story that needed to be told (and is also interesting and unexpected to know how takano first felt about ritsu)
but not as a season finale, especially if they don't plan to make a 3rd season. (WHICH THEY SHOULD, ALONG WITH JUNJOU ROMANTICA T_T)

i'm satisfied but I WANT MORE

The ending was amazing T^T Takano's words were the most amazing thing I have ever heard and made me feel bubbly c':
But I feel there should be more D: I don't think the other couples had their right amount of time, plus Ritsu never told Takano he loved him ">_>
But this episode was really really good(I liked seeing Takano slowly finding himself loving Ristu), I just wish there was a season 3 D:

I pretty liked it. I gave the 2nd season a 10 after this episode. I was overwhelmed with excitement when Takano realized there's a stalker by opening the books he did read before, he has a good memory ♥ I agree with whoever said that Ritsu became a tsundere, he was cute before I like his tsundere-side better.

3/5 for this episode , 8/10 for this season . Though I much prefer this over Junjou due to overwhelming epic story line . I will surely booked for season 3 , if by any chance ever shall exist.


Lastly , this anime is really good and has a warm conviction , I like . :)

If the "I love you" scene from episode 11 was decent enough to take as a love confession, I would be really happy with this final. Takano would just need to use "when did it started?" as a excuse to remember the past, turning the memmories into a plus to be more cute and stuff. BUT, I hate how they didn't clear things out with Ritsu and Takano... Maybe I got tired of the tsundere "koi janai" drama of always. And because I don't think we'll get a third season! D:
Anyway, dispite my own drama, I liked Takano point of view. I wish there were more details, like the cat story or when Ritsu leaves. So 3/5 for this episode, but others were great, so 8/10 for the entire season! I like Sekaiichi more than Junjou too, more fluffy and cute.

I love this episode! It is really nice to see from Takano's point of view. Yes, it's a bit strange to put it as the ending of this season because it's more of a side story/OVA-ish material and it leaves you wanting to know more rather than giving you the resolved finish. But it was understandable since it can't get further than where the manga currently is.

I think it is still a good episode because you get to see how Takano viewed the whole situation during the time they had together when they were young. We have always known what Ritsu thinks, but not Takano. You really get to understand Takano more and how he falls in love with Ritsu. It was a bit like your typical shoujo style but nicely done nonetheless. I like the ending where they continue to hold hands. It was so cute.

Noo! I don't want it to be over. >.< I absolutely loved this series! I'm not a huge fan of yaoi anime but this one was deffinitly worth watching. My fav pair was Onodera x Takano. :3 I really want there to be a third season.~ I couldn't get enough from the first two lol. I also really enjoyed the fact that you get to see a little bit in to how manga is created. That was very interesting. And the comedy was great. I'll be pretty dissapointed if that is how they end this series but I still loved it regardless. :3

Planning on checking out Junjou Romantica now, never got to watch it and didn't realize this series was a spin off to that one until I already had gotten sucked in. ;p Hope it's just as good.

Overall I rated this season a 8/10.

Wow I didn't expect the first OVA from Takano's pov as ending episode, I totally expected Ritu's confession at the end but it didn't happen... seems like he finally admitted his feelings to himself though, which is a big step :)

I can't get over the fact how cute he was as first year, he was absolutely adorable <3 Though I kinda understand why he's acting the way he is, it must've really hurt, being laughed at after asking your first love if he's actually in love with you... And it seems he was a really sensitive and rather insecure so that explains why it had such an impact on him... :(

I'm definitely going to read the manga, I must know what happens after this <3

Wow before I was planning to rate this anime a 7! Now I'm going to give it an 8 because this was the perfect last episode! We finally get the full "misunderstanding" between Takano and Ritsu and from Takano's point of view too! :) I just loved this! It fully shows their love for each other and it's so sweet! It also reminded me of why I loved Onodera so much, he is ADORABLE!

So sad that it's ending though :(
Definitely an 8/10! <3

well, yeah... I took some time of and was expecting something extra the last episode. Well, obviously it's great, and I'm happy we could see the Takano's pov which explained a lot and was really sad & cute at times.
Still there is an OVA lacking showing OnoderaxTakano's relationship after all - and from the comments it seems like that business trip would be that... too bad it didn't get animated.

Overall 8/9 for this series... much too short, the other couples got as little episodes that they were more annoying that fun + that junjou mistake which didn't fit at all.

I don't like to watch Shounen Ai or Yaoi genre anime at all as I am not able to accept the relation between guys. When I was watching this show too I felt turned off many time. But still somehow I ended up watching both the seasons as well as the OVAs.

The love story in this was really really sweet. When watching every ep I was always thinking why are Takano's and other guys partners not girls? If they would have been, this show would be one of the best mainstream Romance anime out there !! :3

Now I know why Shounen Ai, Yaoi anime are so liked by people. The drama, dialogues and the romance are just too much sweeter in these shows. Also the shoujo anime are mostly just high school kids having crush on each other so many of the shows have this immature love between the couples. There are few animes like Winter Sonata that I know of that have slightly older main characters and a bit more of a mature story in general. This show had both of them too. Maybe that's why it appealed more to me.

All in all a very sweet show.
