I don't understand the flack that this anime is getting. I really don't. I've seen most of the shounen ai anime out there, and this is definitely in the top three for me personally. I've seen a lot of shows worth hating, and this really ain't it, sis. I'm not an anime reviewer, I barely even watch anime anymore, but here's my two cents.
Many people say that the story is mediocre, and I don't deny that it's not groundbreaking in any way, shape, or form. It has a typical shounen ai story, in the same way that slice of life shows have their own type

of typical story. However, what sets the story apart in this show for me is that the storylines don't drag on. In a usual yaoi show, there's always a million misunderstandings that lead to the dramatic situations, but usually they're dragged on for several episodes until you're sick of them. In this show, everything is solved within the 20 minute timeslot.
I adore the characters in this show. Again, nothing groundbreaking. The uke wants to be fucked by everyone that meets him, but that actually makes sense in the context of the shows story. He's not a plain guy, he's a well known actor and "most huggable" five years running. The side characters are few and far between, which I appreciate, because 13 episode shows with a large cast are just confusing. Every character in this show had their own personality quirks, and I found myself really enjoying watching them all interact. (I'm hoping for a season two so I can find out who the fuck that red haired boy was, though.)
The show's really good. For a shounen ai, it's superb. It's definitely on par with Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi, if that means anything to you. If you don't enjoy this show after three episodes, though, you won't enjoy the rest. So just implement that rule and you'll be golden.
