| Summary: |
Misaki is suddenly having some unexpected and odd problems. What started as a need for some college entrance exam tutoring has somehow led him to being romanced by a suave older man who also happens to be his big brother’s best friend. Confused by all of his brand new emotions, Misaki struggles to deal with his suddenly very odd life. And if that wasn’t enough, his suitor, Usami, has plenty of issues of his own. A man-child who decorates his room in giant teddy bears and toys, Usami is a famous novelist who also writes steamy boys’ love novels on the side. When Misaki cracks open one of these books and reads sentences like “Misaki licks every inch of Usami’s hot body”…well, let’s just say that all hell breaks loose. |

This is my first ever BL anime, and while I'm open to the genre after listening to a few drama cd's, I had decided it not to really be my thing. Out of curiosity, I started to watch this show because one of my favorite seiyuu (Sakurai Takahiro) voices the main characters. And what a surprise it was for me! The stories and interactions were very sweet, and they're just normal love stories really (disregarding it's between men). There were many moments where it was super cute and I couldn't help but squeal~
The animation was ok, I thought many of the characters looked similar. The hairstyle of Usagi really bugged me for some reason, and I couldn't tell Misaki and Hiroki apart at the beginning if I didn't hear their voices. But the story more than makes up for it! I'm so glad I picked this as my first BL anime.
