To be clear: this is yaoi SATIRE. Unless you've been a weeb since the days of newgrounds, you're not going to get this.



ART:
Imagine every thirteen year old's deviant art account when they started watching anime. That is the art of this show. And it was intended. The pointy chins, the yaoi hands- all intended. Literally every possible thing is wrong with the art, shading, proportions, perspective, everything. The characters are exaggerated versions of BL art style and the main character has no face which makes it fairly quirky


SOUND:
Pretty good actually. Goes to show that the animators actually do know what they're doing. And ... that (again) the horrible art is intended.


CHARACTER:
Every trope and stereotype exists in this show. Every line is either super rapey or absolutely stock. It's a perfect parody.


ENJOYMENT:
As someone who grew up on anime, this show brought me into a nostalgic state of when I started started trying to create my own images on MS paint. I laughed to the point of tears while watching this show. I've read quite a few cringeworthy BL manga and I can say that this short animation portrays all the faults you can find there with the perfect satirical touch.


OVERALL:
The type of viewers who will like enjoy this definitely had unironically enjoyed a doujin or something that was probably not much better than this.

I don't normally write reviews but this manga left me in awe and I need to write one. Regarding shoujo and romance manga, this is one of the best ones I've read. It takes your typical romance and flips it on it's back.

Story: 9

It's not your classic cliche one where the girl is all flustered after immediately meeting a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. In fact, it's just the opposite. Finally you have a cool female lead who's experienced and the guy is this cute, childish, inexperienced boy who's often nervous around the girl he likes. He's extremely bashful which is so refreshing but still ... heads into situations head on to impress her.

Art: 8

The art is great, polished, and clean. I was very happy with the way the characters were drawn and not too unrealistic. No noodle like arms, weird poses, etc. They eyes were sometimes just a bit large but I didn't have too many qualms, it didn't take away from the story or anything.


Character: 9

I absolutely loved the characters. I do wish that the author went more into who they were but only because they were so interesting! I really loved the male lead, and he is one of the reasons I'm so drawn into this story. But alas, it's only 1 volume so I do see why the development was rushed. Still, for 5 chapters, the reader got a pretty good sense of who they were.

Overall: 10

I really enjoyed reading this manga. I've been looking around for a manga that's not the typical, overdone storyline. I highly recommend this light, but thoroughly entertaining, read to shoujo lovers!
