| Final exams are coming, and while Sasaki has Hirano tutoring him, he instead looks to Miyano for manga. Sensitive cat-tongued tongues for hot drinks, and Miyano being a fudanshi meant that while he can fantasize about BL scenes, might as well not replicate that in real life, even more so if seduction is involved. Welp, the intended message came out the wrong way, and worse if Sasaki's classmate (Jirou Ogasawara) discovered that he's into BL, but thankfully it's his girlfriend who's into BL being a fujoshi whom likes ukes. Cool Senpai there, and since the BL manga was so good, Sasaki decided to loan more from Miyano. March 14th comes around, and it's White Day. While Tasuku has his choco load for his girlfriend, Miyano on the other hand...is preparing his while (not) taking advice from BL manga to prepare to give to Sasaki as a return from the chocolates on Valentine's...acting like a female while being a male. That might've been the most fluttering moment for Sasaki as Miyano reciprocated his feelings. The Spring Break eventually is next, and Sasaki is gonna graduate soon before Miyano. Hirano took a hairlift to bleach his hair back to normal because of the ceremonies, and Jirou eventually found out Miyano was the fudanshi. More cute moments on the way back... ...and did Sasaki just low-key confessed to Miyano that he liked him? Yes it is, but what's Miyano gonna do now with the bromance? |

| Surprising for me to be at #2 here, but KnY and AoT are flooding the community today so... As these two gets closer, the teasing and the attempts to hook up the other is getting so much stronger (it rhymes so better). Sasaki suggesting to try their tongues made me squeal so hard, and Miyano gazing at him back is a good indication that he indeed is falling to him. What striked me the most is how Sasaki defends himself reading BL by pointing out how the story itself is a good enough justification to read such works. A boy doesn't need to swing just to enjoy yaoi works, and for that I applaud (bcos that's basically how I roll as well). Very good episode, and yo he has confessed to him, their fondness is getting rosier by the day! |
 |
| Miyano's facial expressions were priceless as usual, haha. That confession was pretty cute. :) |

| I knew it this ep will have pacing issue again since i've seen the screenshot for ep 3 before that most likely it will adapt 3 chapter in 1 ep(ch 8-10 which kinda long than the usual ch) so they gonna rushed it compared to ep 2 that only adapt 2 ch for 1 ep. The animation also gotten more worse :( i wish we can have good bl adaptation with proper story(which is this series already have) and with 'good animation' for once but i guess thats too much to ask huh. The directing scene & the music in this ep are worse, episode 2 are much better imo. I just hope they slowed down the pace more in next ep, i can stand bad animation but for fast/bad pacing..not soo much.. Other than that sasamiya interaction are cute as always<3 |
 |
| I like how Miyano wasn't totally oblivious to Sasaki's big gay for him. But at the same time because their connection was formed around BL it makes more sense that he's unsure if some of the more obvious stuff Sasaki has done has just sorta been in ironic reference to the BL stuff he's been reading. Of course the last bit of the ep has made it pretty clear. |
| Studio Deen please calm down with the floating shapes it's getting more distracting every episode Beyond that the animation seems to have gotten better since the first episode (or maybe I'm just getting used to it). I really like how they add the cat walking across the screen to represent Sasaki, both last episode and now this episode when the cat walks across the screen as Miyano asks if Sasaki is "cat-tongued." Speaking of that scene, holy hell was that a smooth move from Sasaki asking if Miyano wanted to try kissing him. And the train scene at the end...if I weren't already a manga reader I probably would become one before the next episode airs. Seeing black-haired Hirano in full color was nice, as well as Gonzaburou with his hair down, and we saw animated Ogasawara for the first time. Just waiting for Hanzawa to have more screen time and hoping they add in some of the Hirano and Kagiura extras because they're my favorite side charas |
 |
| Great episode! Hirano had to dye his hair black for the closing ceremony. I really wonder why Japan have such a thing about hair color though xD. Sasaki borrows more manga from Miyano and Miyano also gives him white day chocolate! Sasaki's heart was beating very fast after that lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Being cat-tongued sure did let Sasaki hint more to Mya-chan about his feelings, and that blep was adorable It was quite the moment when Miyano overheard Sasaki being cool, he's catching feelings and fast The White Day chocolate exchange was everything <33 Ho~? A 'sleeping' confession, I can't wait to see what happens after spring break after that little scene >.< |
| My heart just can't literally take this.. >////< kyah! Just so good. It's so cute. Miyano saying he don't know if Sasaki is Seme or Uke, but ohhh boy.. I'll bet we all know which one he is.. if he just "puts the record on", I bet haha. ahh <3 so cyyyyuuute! <3 The train scene was just amazing, I just melted. I just can't. Thank you for this. |

| that train confession we love to see it |
| hnnnnnnnng Rem4lifexD said: Great episode! Hirano had to dye his hair black for the closing ceremony. I really wonder why Japan have such a thing about hair color though xD. Uniformity and not sticking out is a whole thing there. Since most Japanese people have naturally dark hair, bleaching or dyeing it is a quick way to stand out and is often associated with delinquency. |
 |
| so many cliffhangers for me today lol hirano with black hair is some good content thanks i've been waiting for this scene |

| Every SasakixMiyano scene makes me smile so hard and my heart starts beating so fast, gosh, I feel the same as these 2 do 😍😍😍. Even if I'm reliving these scenes from the manga it feels beautiful, and adding the beautiful seiyuu's voices is gorgeous too! 😍😍😍 |
 |
| I'm enjoying this anime more than I thought I would. The previous two episodes didn't grab my interest that much, but somehow I liked this one a lot more and I was smiling the whole time. Maybe because there were more character interactions among other people besides just Sasaki and Miyano? Or the pacing didn't feel as slow? In any case, another cute and wholesome episode. Nice that Miyano isn't super dense. I just wish the show would lay off on the floating shape sparkles, it's way too extra haha. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Wholesomeness overload once again. I can't take it with this series, the characters are just too cute! |
 |
| miyano realizing that what he said about having a cat tongue does look like a scene straight from BL lol. sasaki blep, cute. his "触りて" though aksdak the heart fluttering is too great. but it was cute to see miyano becoming more aware as the episode went on ahh hirano with black hair is beautiful it contrasts well with the blue eyes |
| The train scene.. just chef kiss |

| I have just started getting into BL and ye this seems good they are so cute together |
| Good episode. That's some progress I'm seeing. |

| first confession scene lets goooooooooooooooooo so many cute moments this episode as well! and hirano-senpai with black hair animated <3 I was hoping we'd see a bit of kagi-kun as well but since the small panels about miyano's first year cultural festival wasnt included, maybe the extra chapters about hirakagi won't be included as well </3 also if people are wondering about the pacing and the transitions being a bit clunky, maybe it's got to do with the original manga being in 4-koma format for the most part (definitely recommend the manga, it's less awkward and the art style is really cute) |
 |
| I'm still confused what cat tongued is. Someone that burns their tongue on hot drinks or what? phantomfandom said: The reason Miyano doesn't ship senpai with anyone might be because Miyano is into straight seme/uke genre, and he senses that senpai is gay, so he doesn't ship senpai with anyone. Yeah I know it's quite delicate and not having a definitve border frustates many people (especially outside BL community) but if you know you know. I was thinking it's Miyano unconsciously being into Sasaki so he would be jealous if he tried to ship him with anyone so no desire to do so arised. |

| I just finished watching the latest intense episodes of AOT & Kimetsu so watching this anime felt like it has cleansed my soul hahahaha. No doubt, a feel good watch! Surprisingly, even if I already read the manga before, this adaptation has still somewhat exceeded my expectations! And the blushes! They are all so cute! |
| Ahh honestly this is the only series that I have been looking forward to this season (I didn't start AOT last szn yet) but today's episode was kind of a let down. It didn't feel as special as the first or second one did. I still love where it's going tho, so no harm done |
| Based on previous conversations and the Drama CD scene, Miyano is most definitely into some sort of explicit content that goes beyond just reading it for the "plot". After this episode I think I get what the author's motive was in making the MC a fudanshi -_- The guy with fujo gf seriously should consider breaking up if she's shipping him with other boys and he doesn't like it, like what part of her does he love anyways, is he in just for her looks or something!? |

| Omg, the confession! >w< Sasaki is trying so hard not to make Miyano uncomfortable and that is very adorable! Can't wait for next week :D |

If you pay close attention to detail, he says "The BL manga she HID under her pillow", and that the GF has never explicitly said that she ships him, it's all his assumption. The GF hid the BL because she knew he would be uncomfortable. -HE- finds the hidden stash and reads it and gets upset. So essentially he infringed on her privacy and brought it upon himself lol. |

| Not gonna lie, Miyano associating everything with BL is starting to get really annoying. Another OK episode. |
| another beautiful episode.. i couldn’t stop smiling pls- I CANT WAIT FIR NEXT WEEK <3 |

Other than that sasamiya interaction are cute as always<3 Your comment sums up my feelings about this anime so perfectly! You can really see Studio Deen cutting corners with those extremely close-up shots so they don't have to draw the backgrounds and the sparkles effects to cover up the complete lack of animation. Episode two was going in the right direction, but now it's going downhill again...... Honestly, I wish there were more proper BL adaptations like Love Stage in terms of animation, general presentation and pacing. Say what you want about its story (and there's A LOT to say about it), Love Stage had MUCH more fluid and expressive animation and was also much better paced. This anime is starting to feel like a waste of time :( |
 |
| Kyaaaaa, it was so cute, imma explode of cuteness <3 Finally Sasaki said it, waiting for the next episode |
| Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts. Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you? Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!! Watashitachi wa ningen da!!! |
| I swear this is the first time I see a BL (both anime and live action) where seme is more interesting than uke.. I really liked Sasaki's character. Black haired Hirano > Blond Hirano (I loved when Miyano said ''Hmm black haired uke..'' because most of the times ukes have black hair in bl shows...) It looks like the only straight character is Kuresawa but idk... I kinda ship him with Tashiro. Classic introvert/calm and extrovert/funny pair. I'm very curious about Hirano's roommate.... It's a cute show but kinda slow paced.. I'm used to exciting bl's like Sekaiichi Hatsukoi where literally every episode we got some drama. I hope we get some good story line with this show too, it seems like just random cute moments for now. |

| "call me that again and ill tell your girlfriend your potential bl romances" "no, she'd love that too much" HELP? hirano with black hair YO !!!!!!!! sasaki bolddd this ep. and miyano putting the pieces together FINALLY. |
| Keeps getting better and cuter! |

Say what you want about its story (and there's A LOT to say about it), Love Stage had MUCH more fluid and expressive animation and was also much better paced. This anime is starting to feel like a waste of time :( I think this can be better compared to Given(since it's the most popular BL released in the last few years and didn't get as many complains compared to Love Stage). Given also had some animation problems and TV series ended on cliffhanger, but romance was much more naturally developed and it had better aesthetics going for it. Since Sasaki to Miyano is based off of 4-koma manga, I wasn't expecting steller pacing, but it'd worked better as a movie, not the whole TV series. Given being more contemporary and perceived as less problematic than Love Stage has nothing really to do with that tho. I wasn't even necessarily comparing them, I simply brought up Love Stage as an example of a BL anime with good pacing and interesting presentation. Also, there are a lot of anime that were adapted from 4-koma manga that didn't have pacing issues as bad as this anime. K-on and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun are two examples of those. Studio Deen could've made it work, even as a TV anime, but the problem is that there doesn't seem to be much passion behind this anime from its staff. |

| I hate how I'm being late with discussions, fuck school projects but anyways Sasaki and Miyano are on a sweet winter day and wearing their sweater during school, it's nice to have a warm cup of cocoa to warm up that coldness in your body, also Sasaki surely nows how to convince Miyano and he is about to share his thought about another BL manga :V Cat-tongue? Literally never heard of that before but I'll see how that goes. BL experience would be very adorable between these two working pairs! And I really need to see Miyano's Manga collection, well of course the majority of it is BL but what else xD? Oh boy Sasaki and Miyano are both starting to have feelings for each other, when will they "Kiss kiss fall in love?" :D? Miyano forgot to give him a volume of a manga? Then for the second thought, why not let Sasaki have all of Miyano's manga collection instead of telling Miyano to bring him more and more everyday :V? But if Sasaki is clumsy after all then that'll do the reasoning. Oh no Sasaki is caught reading a BL manga and trying BL manga is definitely subjective here since it can be quick to judge and I like how Sasaki isn't those dorks that would betray his friend Miyano like some piece of trash, nice typical written BL character right here. Well whoever you are black hair guy, I'm a girl who really likes my BL wholesome and well written, the one I'm currently watching is a BL adaptation that has a simple story but more and more cute segments and this certainly does it for me. Not even on the same level with Given but it's one of the comfortable ones to watch. Not gonna lie that punch in the back to Miyano is hinting some, "Go for it, time to confess your senpai!" Yeah that's what I'm hinting right now x) White Day arc bois! Is it the same time we see people give their gifts to their love ones :3 and Miyano must be having a hard time to figure out a gift for Sasaki, he should probably give Sasaki his whole BL manga collection lol because chocolate candies, roses, teddy bears, etc are way to prevalent for a valentine gift. Oolala Miyano gave him something for sure and it was definitely done last minute lol but I'd do the same anyways and Sasaki's face though xD Oh boy I bet Sasaki's love feeling to Miyano is in la la land <3 Chotto matte Sasaki, that gift is way too assorted, you must give your Miyano something MORE ELEGANT like a giga chad chocolate heart and once you crack it with a hammer, it'll show a full nutella filling :P < Tried those before and I think I had full diabetes but it's still delicious and sugar is toned the way I like it. Also wtf Hirano dyed his hair to black? He do be looking good but I wonder when will he go back to his blonde hair and Miyano is so adorable just taking pictures of him continuously xD Oh boy Sasaki's one friend yet again really have complex over her girlfriend reading a BL manga like it's not that big of a deal and you can't control over their action xD Though the misconception the guy stated was quite true imo but hope he gets over it :P Now Miyano and Sasaki are both heading to the bookstore together, cute moment as usual >u< Also woah was that a "I love you" from Sasaki to Miyano in the end :OOOOOO?? oh boy that was smooth as butter. Great episode as always overall! |
