Meeting at the bar. That dyed hair guy is jealous about the magician. He's too straight and confessed immediately.

Showing how he works incredibly. He works too much that his coworker is worried.

OP is the theme song, and ED is instru. ver. of the same song.

The drinks looked really cool, but so did everything else. I love the art style.
That sudden confession was laughable, but not a bad thing. I wasn't expecting this to be so short. Oh, and the whole wizard thing is interesting. The guy with the glasses (Zaou?), I like his character design... reminds me of Fushimi from K.

All this homosexual tension, ayaya.

The hard working man delving into immoral deeds with a free spirited man.
Fitting bar name for this series.

it was better than expected, sadly it's short. Even so it felt quite alright, not to fast paced neither slow. The art was a bit worrisome the first few minutes but later was pleasing to the eyes :3 Story-wise it was good, so let's hope we get some actual BL here and a great story........ specially some action >_<

Not really impressed tbh. I planned to watch this but forget about it. Watched the first episode by chance. The art is not my thing. It looks like the whole thing is straight out of a LSD trip.

The plot - if you can speak of a plot just yet - is thin. A lot of things unexplained/too surreal. And it's a short.

Liked the seiyuus. Shota Aoi's song was not half as bad, too.

So yeah, I will give this a 5 out of 10. I did not exspect anything from this. But I sure don't get the hype towards this female directors work. It is mediocre.

BL fans often tend to eagerly consume everything that is animated (because there are so few yaoi anime titles). But I won't praise this show if it doesn't deliver.

DAMN DAMN DAMN. Art style is really gorgeous. Aoi Shouta's song was super nice as well. That confession. Cute. My only complain is that it was too damn short... Was expecting something longer, lol. Gotta get used.

Yay, my first shounen ai anime... The art style is pretty good. Wasn't expecting it the episodes to be that short. And only 4 episodes too.

Agreed! Beautiful art style and calming atmosphere, definitely what she excels at.

Was surprised how quickly the romance seems like it'll go from this episode. Toyohi fell in love rather quickly, lol. I usually like more context before anyone falls in love, but I think it works here. They're both adults, and some people do fall in love faster than others if they find something they like about the other. It was more like he saw Kashima, thought he was cute, talked to him, and it turn out that Kashima is really likable. I don't blame Kashima though, I'd be like whut if someone told me that after I've only known them for like 2 hours...XD

Sure it's nothing special so far, but it's a nice and short watch, and my eyes get to feast on the pretty visuals.

Finally no more subtext. I have been waiting for this ever since it was announced. The art was really pretty as per usual of yamamoto soubi's work. It's a shame it is only 4 episodes though.

The stars in the drink were really really pretty too, makes me wish there was something like that irl.

Looking forward to see what happens next.

Like everyone has said the animation is absolutely beautiful and I'm really loving Toyohi he has sucha cute personality he kinda reminds me of Yukina from Sekai-ich Hatsukoi ^^ But anyways I just wished the series was a bit longer will 4 episodes that contain only 7 minutes be enough for there relationship to grow

but why only 8 minutes if we already have only 4 episodes? T_______T
btw nice animation and cd. if only they develop the characters' relationship before they fall in love, shounen-ai would be much more interesting.
gosh, i miss no.6...

The art is so pretty and colourful. The animation is nice too when you get used to it. It's a shame the only possible decent shounen ai we're gonna get for a while is so short.

Pretty as usual with the Kono Danshi series. But this really looks like it was meant to be an OVA like the others that got cut up in to ~7-8 minute episodes. The ending was really sudden.

Looks like Soubi Yamamoto got a bigger budget to work with. The art style and colors are gorgeous as usual, but everything looked even better. Only 7 mins. per episode? Damn!

God, Soubi Yamamoto is fantastic as always. I loved the first episode! I thought it was rather fast paced, but it did a pretty good job at building itself up. The art and the atmosphere was really well done as well.

Gah, can't wait to own this.

That was interesting. I love the style of this show, as expected of Soubi-sensei.

Shoutan OP is great! Hoping to hear a more ballad-like song from Shoutan.

Please watch Soubi's other Kono Danshi anime. They're really good too, especially this and this.

Also, another good BL series that will come out soon is Doukyuusei. That one is actual movie length, which I am excited for.

Art and animation are lovely, with soul in it. And that's basically what caught all my attention so hard to say something more about the action. Still - very enjoyable.

A pretty original style, but I'm torn with my opinion of it.
I love the over all effect, the backgrounds, the use of textures and shapes however I can't bring myself to like the character designs as much.

The love story itself seems pretty standard for now, nothing special. Insta-love, insta-confession. But given it's not instantly reciprocated I still have hopes for it.

Not completely my thing, but given it is only 7 minutes and the art style is very interesting to look at I will stick to it.

confession on the first ep, that guy has guts like steel.

What if the guy was straight though? He took one big chance.
