| U-NEXT has the fastest stream 30 mins before the TV broadcast. Miracle Chimpanzee's OP is pretty good, and Sasaki and Miyano's ED is low-key good, no doubt about that. Sasaki reading BL manga isn't all surprising, given how much he dotes on Mya, and being a fudanshi makes it all the more confessional for laughs that has everyone think otherwise and leaving Miyano all flustered. Dang, Miyano using an iPod Shuffle to listen to drama CD audio tunes? Now I feel old. But that must've been a shocker when Sasaki suddenly intruded on him. And playing the Pocky game between guys, what a gay moment that's sweet that has Sasaki thinking otherwise on how to tackle the cute Mya-chan. Tasuku Kuresawa is just here for the ride to see both guys' acting. Gonzaburou Tashiro is here, and he makes things clear between Sasaki and Miyano's weird BL relationship from just the simple case of exchanging BL manga, even more so in an all-boys' school. Miyano getting into BL because of some "misconceptions", such as a reference book and a manga that looked appealing, which Sasaki wanted to touch his fingers but couldn't. Taiga Hirano always keeps the both of them (more towards Sasaki) in check, and he's a shipper between both of them. Oh well, nothing wrong with that though. Buying Valentines' chocolate for each other, and they both agree that it can be good fodder for BL, while deep down Sasaki wished that he could give to Miyano like an actual couple would. 36 pieces of chocolate from his class, but who was the first??? The pacing slowed down a lot, which I REALLY appreciate. This low-key feels like another one of Studio Deen's mid-2000s works: Junjou Romantica, and I kinda liked it though! |

| Another really nice and wholesome episode. That cat trying to catch the dragonfly in the background was so cute. xD |

| Enjoying this ep & love the OP song sm! The bgm/ost that are used are pretty good too. They also slowed down the pace than prev ep, which is good. The after ed scene tho.. i didnt remember it was that dramatic when i read the manga lol the bgm too intense(?) in that part giving out vibe as if sasaki will turn into full yandere lmaooo, i hope they toned it out a bit since this series not supposed to be that 'dark'... other than that i can't wait for the next ep! |

| Wow I liked the opening theme a lot better than I did when watching the pv, gonna go look for the full version after this lol. I don't like the ed song as much, but I do really like the lead-in to it that starts playing during the last scene. The overall ost is really good too, I'm surprised but glad it's not at bland as all other sol shows I've seen. Don't know how to feel about the post-credits scene, it wasn't nearly that dramatic when I read it in the manga, the ost and directing made it way too serious imo. The rest of the episode was really cute tho, it felt much less hectic than the first episode without all the timeskips, although I'm not sure when they went from November to valentines day lol |

| Yeah big wholesome SoL vibes continue. This is looking like it will be a solid romance without any over the top drama. |
| I really liked that episode so far. Let's look how this is going to develop. |
| This show is so cute it warms my heart! |
| Great episode! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| another cute episode!! in the post-credits scene I'm honestly not sure why sasaki is acting jealous of literally 36 classmates giving miyano chocolates but to each their own I guess lmao |
 |
| We got a look into the minds of the characters a bit more, and there are signs of them forming feelings for each other, Sasaki more than Miyano, tbh. Another fluffy episode. I just wish there wasn't flying Doritos crossing my screen constantly. I'm wondering how I'll deem the pace of this show. Days are going by, but there is no info, no drama to follow. Is pace even relevant? These shows, at times, are difficult to judge, hmm. Oh, aye, we need more of a focus on the neko. The neko is the way forward. |
 |
| i couldn't stop smiling this whole episode!!! am tempted to go reread the manga |
  placeholder text |
| I started reading this manga before the anime aired, so now I'm waiting for all my fav scenes to be animated *_*. my ship is the cutest!! I feel Sasaki so bad, Miyano is such a tease but I know he doesn't notice lol. |
 |
| Like the upbeat chill tune to the OP. Huh so people still use digital music players instead of phones in Japan. They kinda are superior in sound quality often. Too bad they aren't so common anymore. A-Simple-Squire said: Another fluffy episode. I just wish there wasn't flying Doritos crossing my screen constantly. Hahaha I kinda don't get what that is either. |

| Im liking it so far. Another wholesome and fluffy episode, the animation is amazing as well, even the OP and ED, awww. Everything on this series is good so far, my 1st time Yaoi worth it all, aff. Love it. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| AAaaa that OP is soo sweet~! I'm loving this hdsad soo soo much |

| Definitely improved on the pacing a lot. That moment when Miyano started talking about how he stumbled into reading BL, and suddenly the music slows and the flowery shoujo effects disappear while he literally hides himself behind a book, was an unexpectedly nice touch. I would love to see the show contrast the initial "BL lens" with unfiltered moments like this again. |
 |
| The animation is good or not is debatable but ngl, their directions for this episode were really good. |
 |
| The opening song was great! The animation of this episode is so cute too. There are some panels where the characters have no face :c Good episode tho, very sweet. |

| literally wayyy too cute. in a sucker for the "super flirty x oblivious mf" trope so this just winss it for me. not a fan of the geometry/shoujo comic-like effects they're using but honestly it suits this show a lott definitely gonna grow on me more. bookstore scene was way cute |
| In all honesty, the pacing somewhat improves, I'm glad they werent rushing here so this could be one of my comfort animes and yeah warning don't even bother reading this because I'm very into wholesome BL <3<3. I'm already piqued at the start to see Hanzawa and he's my go bf because he's so cute without showing off his eyes >u< Anyways Sasaki and Miyano are both too adorable walking to the bookstore together xD!!! OP is like a refreshment and it's pretty much my jam already especially when it hits to the chorus. I like how Miyano's friends are so conscious about his mutual with Sasaki, but Sasaki sure needs to lower down his oblivious mindset. I do agree with some people above me that the effects are a bit overboarded but that doesn't necessarily mean it influence my enjoyment, also most of the chibi segment shown here are so adorable it makes me wanna squish their faces >u< Lol I literally lost it when Sasaki yet again caught what Miyano was listening to xD Honestly the OST during that moment felt really relaxing ngl. Oh Sasaki definitely knows how to play his game to progress his relationship with Miyano but definitely the inner thought is just me and Sasaki because Miyano would just want to bite the pocky casually :< Sasaki feeding Miyano those pocky was so satisfying to hear, I bet Miyano's VA were having so much fun with some small ASMR biting xD Kuresawa is probably going to be the chad in this series because he's very observant with Miyano. Now I learn that Kuresawa was the one who got beaten up by some gangsta and Miyano saved this chad's life, also nice we're learning about Kuresawa's perspective instead of Sasaki :P Sasaki approaching Miyano from behind somewhat scared the hell out of me and the atmospheric going on in the all boys school seems very chilling, I'd expect some agressiveness but since the fight between Kuresawa and some bullies were all over, most of the people I've encounter here so far are very soft but dependent in their conscience. Also Sasaki holding the book gave me some nerves like I thought he was gonna hold hands with Miyano but Sasaki perhaps still need ot figure out a perfect time to express his feelings lol. Hirano seems to be able to read Miyano and Sasaki's closure and I need to know who else are going to be hinting it later on :O! LMAO Sasaki really just reference BL numerous time but honestly it's fair enough when it comes to valentines day, I wish one day I have a valentine :( Also ED is so adorable aaa both Sasaki and Miyano are singing, how cute <3! Overall episode is great, hope they tone down those overboarding effects, just a simple request and I'd rate this a 10/10 but definitely if it's not happening, then I'll get used to it and yeah it'll eventually grew on me. |

InZZiuma said: Why are the Slice of Life/Romance/Comedy shows so much better this season? :D Because these genre involves less drama / fights (if you're talking about this anime in particular) and this one is a full cozy segment to watch while the best way to enjoy it is to bring your food and drink just like watching a movie in the cinema :P |
| I'm thankful the pace slowed down this episode. It really allowed some moments to shine, like the classroom scenes with just the two of them—the tension was palpable. Also, I started noticing the music this episode and there's some great stuff going on to set the scenes. |
| It's the second episode and Sasaki is already developing more feelings for Miyano <3 Cute episode! >w< Can't wait for next week! So we got to see the faces of the bullies from previous episode >_> Sasaki needs to beat their sorry asses when encountering them again. |

| The vibes are impeccable. |
 |
| Not really feeling it, chief. The supposed romance seems really superficial so far. And that sudden timeskip sure didn't help either. |
| After watching this episode, I started to realize that this anime....is actually good! Holy moly, the slowed down pace of this episode made the whole thing pretty great, something I did not take well in the last episode. The visualizations of sparkles, butterflies, and snowstorms whenever Sasaki and Miyano feels something about one another made it much much more better. This relationship dynamic is going somewhere folks. But that last bit...oowiee Sasaki is pretty freaking jeally. Who was the motherfucker that gave Miyano a chocolate first? We'll have to see...but ayo our blond boi on bottom to his kouhai, pretty bold I will say. |
 |
| Wait, why is the presentation so much better this episode?? The animation is overall still kind of lifeless and stilted, but the effects and the small graphics like with Sasaki explaining the chicken game were actually pretty cute this time around..... And even the story flows a lot better now after the initial set-up...... I'm pleasantly surprised |
 |
| This is the most adorable show ever. I love how much they are able to capture in each episode and the pacing seems so much better than other BL animes I've watched. SO CUTE!! Can't wait for next week. |
