If you want to see a reaaally critic review, then stop right now. I just need to talk about how this work really warms my heart everytime I read. It may contain light spoilers!
First, I have to be clear: I'm the biggest fan of fluffy stories, all the healthy and cute relationships, really tooth rotting scenarios. And 'Tonari no Metaller-san' have all of this and much for an one-shot publication in a light mood.
Everything begins with Soushi, a strange looking man, saving a passed out Kento in front of his apartment from a cold, freezing day and give him some warm food. I will try
...
to not spoil so much about the details for a better experience, but this first encounter is really important. And, oh, yeah, they're neighbours.
After this, we discover a year passing with them enjoying eating together. This may be one of the little flaws of this precious work: from the first to the second chapter, we just jumped the time, nothing that will end your experience. Soushi, in fact, isn't that strange, he's just a metalhead and have a lot of difficulties with comunication in general. Kento, on the other hand, is much more friendly and extroverted, and nothing will stop them from being friends. They're friends... Right?
'Tonari no Metaller-san' will show us that funny contrast of people's appearence, hobbies and even their jobs. But more than this, it's about share, either being food, company or time. This slice-of-life feeling and falling in love thing, and do it slowly.
Obviously, we have some troubles our protagonists have to deal, like being bad at talking. Soushi being extremely shy and even Kento, who is an extroverted, faces the consequences of bad comunication, but we learn with them that we can't live alone forever, without talking to people or even trying to, hiding things from others and running from our actions. And this point is just so good in this story, we can see their difficulties treated with so much care in the plot. With respect.
I'll quickly mention how the art is good, you can see for yourself, the characters are beautiful and they can perceive the beauty in each other. It's all really soft, including their relantionship. We go with them slowly, they're adults, they learn about each other and their limitations, their desires and sexualities, but above all this, we have comprehension, acceptance and, again, respect. We don't need to see anything rushed and this is so great from this BL, which is currently my favorite.
It's a short story, we have 5 chapters and 1 extra, but it's worth your time. Please, give 'Tonari no Metaller-san' a chance, I'd love to see this BL becoming more popular!
Thanks for reading my short review (I just wanted to say how good 'Tonari no Metaller-san' is) and sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my native language. ;)

So, I finished Yashahime and finally I can say, with an open heart: this was a terrible experience. You know, I'm a huge Inuyasha fan since my 11 years old and when the notice of Yashahime came I was super happy, I put a lot of expectations because I like Sunrise works and the previous series. Well, right now I'm terribly disappointed. Let me explain some points about this (IT CONTAIN SPOILERS):
1. Even the art and sound are pretty good, they're nothing amazing. You can easily enjoy what you see but when it comes to the story and when you think about it deeper...
...
That was a poorly written. The Rainbow Pearls, the Dream Butterfly, it's just too basic, we needed creativity here!
2. The main characters are very boring, specially Towa. They don't have convincible ambitions, most of the episodes don't show us too much about their growth as characters. And the random adventures couldn't put much enjoyment to me.
3. Kirinmaru, Zero, Riku... All the villains and antagonists are pretty boring too. Nothing you can compare with Naraku, Kagura and the others, it's just anything with a "cool" design they can use as a villain. Nothing really exciting.
4. Yashahime let me thinking, we have some big holes in the script. Like Kaede knows Setsuna and Moroha a long ago, right? Kaede knows Miroku and Sango. And everyone knows Inuyasha and Kagome. So how can Moroha doesn't know about them? We have all the daddy issues of Towa and Setsuna with Sesshoumaru, Moroha knows this and NEVER questioned herself about her parents? In 24 episodes it was never mentioned. And, by far, this was so dirty with Inuyasha and his whole family story, when he could be genuinely happy with Kagome and their daughter, he got sealed in a dumb way. Alright, I doubt they can really explain this in another season.
5. And about the old characters/organizations too! Miroku looked so pathetic, we had just some seconds of Sango... Miroku, in the end of Inuyasha, was so happy with Sango and their family. We were robbed again. We got more devil slayers, but no time for them too. Does someone remembers Shippou? A shame, really.
I won't even talk about Sesshoumaru and Rin's relationship in this anime, that was so GROSS.
I don't really believe or care for scores in anime, I'm just putting 2 in overall because... Yeah, it feels right. Thats was my opinion, probably won't go watch the next season. Sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my native language!
