    Hilarious

    Ryoma is a popular young actor, , who fell in love with Izumi, thinking him to be a girl, when they co-starred in a commercial. Even after he finds out Izumi is a guy when they reunite, he is still unable to get over the fact that Izumi indeed is a boy.

    What I like the most about this show is its humour. It is just as funny as the concept sounds. There is a scene in which Ryouma visits Izumi at his place to once and for all get the image of that 'girl' out of his mind and in order to do so he undresses him but Izumi's skinny body only gave him a more girly feeling. The scene was weird and funny at the same time. It was funny to watch their awkward but cute relation. The real charm of this anime. I never ever thought Rei and Shougo were ever going to become a couple in the end, they didn't even give a hint that they were about to be together at all! It was kind of a pleasant surprise(lol!).

    I enjoyed this yaoi thoroughly. Must watch for Fujoshis and Fudanshis.

    If you love BL then this is for you!

    Yurri! On Ice, Ouran Host Club, and many other wonderful shows are a great example of BL anime at it's highest. If your looking for a steamer, more blunt showing of BL than this is the anime for you!

    So freaking cute!

    Considering this is a yaoi anime, I was surprised as to how cute it was. I actually liked it quite a lot. The artwork was stunningly beautiful, voice actors great, and the plot was very well-developed. I hope there will be a next season, someday. I would love to see it. Until then, I'm checking out the manga too. Recommended.

    "Look ma, no backgrounds!"

    This show is pretty bad. I say this being gay, so its not homophobia that makes me dislike it. This show was made for straight females, not the LGBT+ community.

    Animation - The visuals in this show are at best generic, and at worst not there. Very few scenes actually have backgrounds. This could be a stylistic choice, but honestly it comes off as lazy.

    Plot - Its a romance. The only plot is the two "love interests" getting together. Why would a romance actually have a plot?

    Audio - I watched this with the Japanese dub. Its not good. Honestly its pretty annoying.

    Characters - The main love interest is honestly a terrible person. He's homophobic and obnoxious. There is a scene where he sexually assaults the protagonist (I only managed to watch around 2 episodes after that, so I don't know if he gets any kind of consequences from that, but I don't think he does). The two "romantic leads" play into heteronormative stereotypes and don't have any chemistry. Its honestly uncomfortable to watch. I don't see how they could possible get together after everything that happens at the beginning.

    The best yaoi I have ever seen!!!

    Literally I am in love with this yaoi! Ok so Im gay myself (no hate pls) and last year I just discovered this yaoi and I instantly fell in love with it! This yaoi is now a big part of my life and I recommend all yaoi lovers to check this out (and the manga is fantastic as well)
