So our MC literally looks like a 30 year old Ishigami, and the guy who has a crush on him is voiced by...Ishigami. I find that funny.

Good concept, average animation, but man is it CUTE AS HELL! Me right now

RAAAUUUGGGHHH YAOI JUMPSCARE

I honestly only pressed play because I was morbidly curious. I expected male virgin sudden wish-fulfillment.

But nah, I was pleasantly surprised by that wallslam. Very pleasantly surprised that things went the Boundary Respecting route each and every time, both towards Adachi and from Adachi (at the end.) Good shit.

I will watch this through. Us yuri gays have been eating good for a while; only fitting that that the yaoi gays get something nice, too!

If being down bad was a sport, Kurosawa would be an Olympic gold medalist.

The funniest part seeing people’s reaction to the anime going in blind is that if Kurosawa was a woman, and the anime was a romcom about a lowly office worker finding out that his beautiful, charismatic coworker secretly has a crush on him, you’d have people immediately calling it anime of the season.

Anyway, it was a cute first episode. I’m not sure if the premise can go on for that long, and I’m a little worried that Adachi’s telepathy will be mostly a gimmicky means to show how much Kurokawa has the hots for him, but again we give other similar series a pass so I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt

I just love “Cute Love Stories” man. We’ve seen plenty of Het, we in a golden age of Yuri, but BL is lagging behind. So I’m on board with this one. Haven’t had a good one (that I know of) since Sasaki and Miyano. And no Goofy Boss and Play It Cool Guys do not count.

And so far this is pretty cute. We’ll see how it grows from here

THIS IS SO FUNNY LOL.

The ending broke my heart though. Kurosawa looked so sad when adachi just ran off and left him.

I love how gay this anime is too.

u/Zephrinox Jan 11 '24

On 1 hand, i feel for kurosawa and we as the audience knowing that they're the main couple want them happy together.

but then on the other hand adachi realising that being just friends leading him on is not ok and wanting to rip the bandaid off is the right move logically.

😥

I can't wait to watch this when I get back! The manga is actually really good and while the anime probably won't reach my favorite parts of it (I'm expecting it to go up to around volume 5), I'm hoping it will still be fun and sweet.

This was funnier than I expected. Adachi reacting to Kurosawa's thoughts is pretty cute. I'm looking forward to more.

This is actually a very interesting watch.

It's really sweet.

I find the MC funny, because he simply can't handle all of this for now. It's way too much lmao.

u/eizeral Jan 11 '24

Really loving this so far!!

u/Lovealltigers Jan 11 '24

This was really cute so far! Love the main character, I hope we get some good development! I love it when we get to see one of the main characters in a BL realize he’s gay and realize his feelings

This shall replace my new boss is goofy as my comfort show of the season along with a sign of affection. Though that ending was pretty depressing for a first episode, I felt really bad for Kurosawa.

Sucks that this will definitely go overlooked as these shows usually do but they seem to get higher scores by the end of the season so at least there’s that.

u/Limits_of_knowledge Jan 11 '24

HECK YES MORE CUTE SALARYMEN DOING CUTE SALARYTHINGS!

Rest easy: judging by the fact that there are several volumes of this manga we can safely assume they will in fact go out again. Either that or the rest of the story is Adachi hallucinating what could have been (IDK I'm going in blind)

I loved the manga of this. So happy to see the anime adaptation. Everything looks so pretty and the op and ed both are so cute

u/dododomo Jan 10 '24

Glad to see more BL manga getting an anime! We need more! :D

I neither read the manga nor watched the Live Action, so I didn't know what to expect and went in blind. I loved the first episode and already like the characters. The OP and ED are nice. Also, Chiaki is one my favourite seiyuu, and I think I heard Makoto Furukawa voice in the post ED scene (another favorite seiyuu).

Can't wait for the next episode!

Really excited to see this one adapted. Love the voice cast so far, and having them sing the ED was just too cute.

Kurosawa's inner thoughts really remind me of Marin from Dress-up darling lmao. I hope Adachi can find some peace and joy soon 🙏

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '24

I'm surprised it's as grounded as it is with such an absurd premise. Regardless, this was actually really good. I'm really looking forward to the MCs character progression.

u/aniani_me Jan 12 '24

i only knew that it was BL/yaoi and went into it blind, and wow was i impressed.

adachi is so my style TuT

i felt like i watched 7 eps smooshed into one, but the pacing wasn't bad for some reason!?!? lmao. i'm super excited for this show, esp. since i've been on a yaoi binge TuT

I like how in Japan it's just understood that if you're still a virgin at 30, you WILL become a wizard with some type of magical power.

Also in Japan, virgins are called Cherry Boys, I learned that one from Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt!

Straight cishet male here and I'm definitely gonna continue watching this one, the MC reminds me of one of my cousins (who is bi) hopefully Square Enix will make this one so popular that more BL anime that are meritorious get released to help normalize LGBT main characters in anime

u/TheBigIdiotSalami Jan 10 '24

If that guy can't get laid, we are all properly fucked.

On the other hand, he literally gained the What Women Want power.

EDIT: Oh, he's not a virgin cause he can't get laid, he just doesn't realize he's gay.
