This might be my favorite BL ever. The art is so gorgeous, you can feel the emotions in every panel. The way it bounces back and forth between the main characters to show how their emotions are changing in the minute is so pretty. Not only is the art beautiful though, but so is the story. The story is about a 39 year-old man coming to terms with the fact his life is no more than melancholy, and how him falling in love gradually changed that. The main characters have so much chemistry, and I love how it shows Nozue's realization of him falling in ... love. It also tackels how one would feel about finding out they were gay and the denial around that really well. I've reread this manga so many times, and trust I will reread it some more. I would do anything for this to get an animated movie.

If you haven't consumed the original material, none of these episodes will make sense to you. If you really enjoy the characters and dynamics in the original game, there is no harm in watching this series because it is so short. However, a lot of the jokes in this do not land. In my opinion, they are repetitive and cliche, and I didn't laugh a single time. I didn't enjoy the OP very much and I can't say I'm a fan of the chibi art style. I would suggest this though if you wanted more content about your favorite characters.

These don't do the actual stories justice at all, but the episodes are also 5 minutes long, so you can't expect much. I feel like these episodes could be used as good *trailers* or something to get you interested in the stories, but I can't say they told a story themselves. It felt like a compilation of clips more than anything else. The animation was okay, but the audio definitely could've been used to enhance the experience more. I felt it was way too mellow in scenes that were supposed to be dramatic. I would recommend this series though if you wanted to be refreshed ... on the game's story quickly.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the hype for this anime is solely from the dance sequence in the OP. The synopsis says that the main couple starts dating because the guy offers, and Naru takes the deal. I understand that originally, she had no intention of dating him, but she does, and they are suppose to explore their awkward relationship, but there is BARELY any progress made. I am currently on episode 8 (?) of this show. When they have been dating for 7 episodes and 4 or 5 months in the universe, why is the girl still debating if she likes the guy? ... It's so strange how she's still like "He's not my type at all, but you know I had to compromise LOL." after so many months? I don't know if there will be more development in the last 3 episodes but if there is, then the pacing would be HORRIBLE. Honestly, I'm watching out of the hope that it does end up that they have at least one scene where they are like "I am so glad we are dating." I also think it is strange how the main girls objectify their partners so much. "It's otaku culture!" No, it's just weird. And while I enjoy the secondary romance WAY more than the main one, I can't help but say that their banter is repetitive and annoying.
