Summary: |
Onodera Ritsu has just transferred from his father's publishing company to Marukawa Shoten. Assigned to the shoujo manga division, he crosses path with the person he'd least expected to meet. Takano Masamune is the editor-in-chief of the division Ritsu's been assigned to, and the two seem get off on the wrong foot right from the very start when Takano unexpectedly kisses him. However, there is more to than what meets the eye... Takano is actually Saga, Ritsu's senpai and high school love... |

Not for those uncomfortable with BL; the back button’s easy enough to find in that case. Don’t blame me if you choose to read on.
Story: Much of a cookie-cutter fairy tale, it’s mainly something for fans to lay back and enjoy. Similar to “Junjou Romantica”, there’s three parallel sub stories shoujo-style connected with each other; each of these stories displays love, jealousy, and the problems that can come with both. Nothing complex, this is mainly a story of genuine love, and pretty much toned down in comparison to Junjou - which ( read more)

Nothing complex, this is mainly a story of genuine love, and pretty much toned down in comparison to Junjou - which sure does it better IMO. Sticks to the manga and even delivers some background info on the manga world :D . Switching between the different storylines isn’t always done smoothly as it may need a moment of orientation at the beginning of each episode, but at least those who watched Junjou might be used to it. :P Mainly, this is one full cup of sugar - not entirely realistic, but nothing controversial either in here (unless you count the theme in itself -.-).
Characters: First things first, some charas look a little similar to each other so in the beginning it might be somewhat confusing to figure who’s who. (Junjou’s a lot worse on that matter.) Other than that, not much to be said -- almost all people in here work in the manga business in one or another way XD , work attitude and ethics are displayed well, and there’s a varied range of characters, although they as well might be a little typical here or there.
The dialogue, true to the story, isn’t overly creative, but has good flow and entertainment value.
The art style can seem somewhat simplistic at times, but is still well-done to cute, and facial expressions convey a grand portion of the comedy. Animation in itself is up-to-date; what would wear it down a little is the music, as it can be pretty badly timed (and the second opening sounds like straight from an action anime O.O).
Entertainment: Humour works well and constantly, be it in dialogue or facial expressions, and actually doesn’t get boring throughout the series. Overall? It’s fluff, a few laughs, romantic lines, and sparkles *sighs and digs herself a hole in the fluff cloud underneath her* Heartwarming, cheerful, essentially a feel-good rom/com, perhaps lacking in reality connection, but still highly recommended to anyone who wants a first adventure into the BL world. Anyone who enjoyed Junjou Romantica is likely to enjoy this as well. ( show less)

At the beggining i thought that it would be disgusting seeing this because i thought it would have innapropriate scenes (I thought it would be like this because i have read the manga...^.^'' )
Anyway...In the end i want to say that this Anime is not what people think. It IS a gay Anime but WHATS WRONG WITH GAY??? I like them! They are more gentle and sweet than the others!!!
The protagonists of this Anime were really good. They were both SO gentle and sweet that i almost died of love for all of them!
This Anime has NOT innapropriate scenes ( read more)

Plain, warm and cheerful love story - very cute and very optimistic. Best to watch after a day of hard mental work just to switch off and experience some warmth around the heart without much thinking.
It's not very intelligent, there is no action, there are no sad or negative thoughts in it. It's plain. It's just entertainment. Same author and same good old Junjou Romantica. Like it like it :)

The stories were kind of cookie cutter fairy tale but contemporary and I could relate to them with some imagination since my office isn't filled with gay men like these offices appear to be! lol. The dialogue is at par, highlighted by some good comedic timing without distracting you from the story. Over all it was good and worth watching so far.

Authors notes:
Right so anyway, This strays away from my usual attempts at being "unbiased" when doing reviews. Mainly due to the fact I actually went into this specifically to write a critique. The reasons for that are rather simple. The only "negatives" so far are opinions of people with clear cut cases of homophobia. They aren't reviews, Just more spam with over tones of narrow minded commentary.
Last thing, I never really found much to hate about this Anime. So I had to nitpick on a few things and probably a little "harsh" on a few points. ( read more)

So on with the show!
Review:
First off, the basic storyline lacks any real creativity. It's the same basic layout as any over "love story" that's come before. I can't help but feel the basic idea behind the story was a little uninspired. The music? ugh, It's light and sort of I dunno, "happy feeling" I guess, even during times when the main character is annoyed or disgruntled. It's not that the music was bad, just that it was perhaps badly timed I guess. And the main character, bah. His constant reference to himself as "jaded" and the way he always moans about stuff makes him come across a little arrogant and rather self centered. And obviously, this anime probably wont sit well with anyone that has serious issues with "same sex relationships".
On the other hand, the animation and humor of this were rather good. It pulled the entertainment value of this up for me a bit. So to round it all out, this isn't a bad anime, it just may not be to everyones specific tastes. Though, the same can be said for things like Violence Jack, DevilMan or Genocyber. ( show less)

Gay anime. It's kinda funny. A little weird and disturbing but if you can get past that then why not. Don't be a homophobic douche bag.

This is a really good anime, this coming from a yaoi/ shounen-ai hater. Usually, I find yaoi unwatchable, extremly stupid and disgusting, but this one has a good story behind. Not to mention that it's funny as hell ! I also find the main character very cute. Overall, a nice and cute story.
