I'm still not over the fact that such an amazing exists. The pace of the story was perfect. The ending and their romance; nothing seemed rush. And the author managed to do all this is a span of 12 chapters!! Amazing is an understatement, to be honest.
It might seem like a cliche because of the shy-boy-falling-in-love-with-the-outgoing-boy storyline, but trust me, it's so much more than that.
The art style was amazing too! I wouldn't expect anything less of Takarai Rihito.
I think everyone should be able to enjoy this story, especially if you liked Seven Days. The two stories are similar, but I found ... Hana nomi zo Shiru more enjoyable. Maybe it's because Arikawa and Misaki went further than just kissing, if you know what I mean *insert lenny face here*
If you've already read this manga, I suggest you read the sequel as well. The heart couldn't stop beating for a long while after I read this.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

My Score:
Story: 10

Overall: 10

This is just my opinion

This anime is aimed at a particular audience. It is 'shoujo anime' but I think fujoshis will find this anime more enjoyable.


The story is about an obese girl, Kae Serinuma, who becomes depressed after her favourite anime character dies. She stops eating, and a week later, when she decides to stop sulking, she realizes that she has lost a lot of weight and now looks extremely pretty. Yes, I know what you all are thinking. 'What the hell?!' isn't it? But trust me, if you just ignore this tiny little fact, you will find the series more enjoyable.

A lot of people argue that ... all the episodes are really random, but that is what makes it so fun to watch! None of the episodes are lacking in humour and there are almost no plot holes. Although, I do get what the others are trying to say... The story doesn't progress much in the 'romantic aspect' and the ending is a BIG troll, but I found it kind of funny. I know a lot of people were disappointed with the ending since they were all rooting for someone or the other to end up with Serinuma, but there's always the manga, right? Go read it. She has already chosen someone in the manga.

Remember that the author of this is a BL mangaka, so you might not be able to fully understand certain parts of this anime if you aren't a fujoshi.

My Score:
STORY: 8

SOUND: 9

ENJOYMENT: 10
OVERALL: 9

This is just my opinion.

STORY:8
This was a very cute story. If you're looking for a light yaoi series, you've come to the right place. Some might argue that the story progresses too fast, but hey, don't all yaoi stories do in general?

ART: 10
The art style was great. I almost found no flaw. I must say, the cleaners and editors did a really good job.

CHARACTER: 8
Character development... well, there wasn't much time for ... it really. But the story does show how the right person can change someone for the better.

ENJOYMENT: 10
I thoroughly enjoyed the series. The amount of fluff was just right for me. I highly recommend it.

OVERALL:8

*WARNING: May cause uncontrollable squealing noises, which might cause nearby people to assume you're crazy*

One of the best BL manga I've read! I don't think words can convey how much I liked this series.

STORY: 10
Giving the story anything less than a 10 would be a crime. The pace of the story is perfect- neither too slow nor too fast.
Have you ever read a manga and found your head full of unanswered questions? Well, fear not! You won't have to experience that in this manga. The ending is amazing and leaves the reader perfectly satisfied. Although I do wish I could read about Tatsuya and Daichi's life after they became a couple, I couldn't have asked for a ... better ending.

ART: 10
Outstanding art style! Doesn't have the classic 'big hands' found in all the semes of Yaoi. Although, the manga is quite wordy, I loved the art too much to give it much attention.

CHARACTER: 10
Excellent character development! I love the mix of personalities one sees in all the characters.

OVERALL: 10

I wasn't expecting much from this anime, but it turned out to be quite good. It had a fair share of funny as well as serious moments.

STORY: 8

I think the story deserves an 8. Unlike many other BL anime I've watched, this plot actually makes sense. Even though it follows the cliché storyline of 'I'm-not-gay-it's-just-him' and 'My-unrequited-love-got-married', it still is unique in its own way.

ART: 7

Even though the anime is quite old, I find the art style kind of cute.

The ending was really unexpected. Makes you want to read the manga straight away.

As someone who is an avid reader of yaoi, you can count on my review to be accurate.
This story is NOT one you want to read. The ending was pretty decent, but the character development is pretty much non-existent.
When I first read the 'tagline' i.e. 2 semes sharing a room, I was excited and really eager to read the story. But as I proceeded, I realized that it followed the same seme/uke concept. The only difference was that the story is actually enjoyable in other seme/uke stories, but in this manga, it was horrible.
The art style was actually good unlike the story, so ... that's one plus point. But seriously, how many of you read yaoi for the ART?
As I said, the characters are PATHETIC.
I definitely didn't enjoy this manga.
Overall, I'm giving it a 3 (only because of the ending and the art)
