Honestly, if this were Aki´s story i would have watched 500 episodes, Aki should be the main character not the pervert of Denji (i think the perfect word to describe him is PAJERO in spanish).
So, i think is understandable that Denji is such a pervert, considering how he grew up, but its still unbearable. We got it you are a virgin and dont wanna die that way, but why focus the plot on his relationships with women if it's not going to lead to anything?

Denji does not have a goal beside eating and thinking of get laid, is such a boring main character, ... and not only because of that, also because the story itself dont wanna be more than that. Is also predictable, you can tell who is gonna die, and sadly who should die is Denji and the story should focus on Aki or any other character that is less boring (Kobeni would be a good main character as well).

On the other hand, the story starts a little slow, but after about episode 5, the story keeps you watching, and about the animation, is so good, the opening and the endings are amazing as well, the ending 8 is ART as i was watching the first 15 seconds i was thinking "i would watch 200 animes of this" and the ending 12 is done by my favorite japanese singer! so definetly i didnt skip any of them and i think are pretty iconic.

THATS IT. Denji = pajero and boring Aki = god

English is no my first lenguage btw, and anyway im not really interested of doing a good review of this anime, since they werent really interested of doing a good story.

An ambitious story that leaves you wanting more

I read given trying to feel a little bit of what i felt for the first time, when i was 14 and i watched the new BL anime of the season, but i couldnt find anything.

Given is one of my favorite anime of all time. I can tell that the mangaka wanted to go beyond a story that revolved around love as the only motivation, she wanted to create a more ambitious project, and i honestly believe she did, and i hope
this set a milestone for others BL. Given is amazing, the story has ... the ability of making you feel brutally connected with each one of the characters, i could feel in each moment what Mayufu and Uenoyama were feeling, my heart would move according what was going on, that particular connetion is what i felt as a 14-year-old teenager watching the anime for the first time and what i felt last week when i re-watched, reasonably is what i expected to feel reading the manga, and even tho my heart was moving as i was reading, my brain wasnt satisfied with the story.

As i said, i liked the ambitous side of the story, but its the same reason why i ended up not liking it. Long story short, very few chapters for too many things going on. On and off, I forgot whose story I was reading. I needed to know more about Mafuyu and Ritsuka, i need to know more about Yuki, i need to know more about them and their musical journey. but they constantly abandoned the story to tell someone else's. It starts with a bang, but fizzles out before you even get a chance to fully grasp it.

I liked it anyway, I won't lie, but I was left wanting more. The anime is better, the anime is thrilling and and I dare say only the first season.
