Hitorijime My Hero

DAMN THIS IS GREAT I loved all the anime I really wanted to see it and I founded this page!

I genuinely don't understand how this is considered a beloved LGBTQIA+ love story... There are two relationships in this series. One is between two childhood friends. This story could play out innocently enough, but Hasekura pursues Ohshiba so aggressively that it veers into sexual coercion. He literally says "sleep with me or cut ties". He also forces kisses onto him and requires Ohshiba to let him touch him sexually for 5 minutes in order to maintain their friendship. Despite that abuse, they become a couple.

The other pairing is between Ohshiba's adult brother (who teaches math at their high school) and his best friend, Setagawa. Setagawa has no family or support system outside of the Ohshiba family. He says several times this is the only place he truly felt he belonged. So the fact that this adult man is pressuring this teenage boy into a relationship really puts Setagawa in a vulnerable position.

There's also the fact that several people (other kids and even adults) find out about this student/teacher pairing and, not only does no one seem to think it's inappropriate, no one does anything to help this child escape his abusive situation.

Hitorijime My Hero is an amazing just wanting a place to belong and finding that person and place story. Masahiro is a kind hearted and gentle teen who is neglected as a child, shown little to no parental love or support and has never known love. Kousuke is a man who rehabilitates youth by letting his fist fly and relay every word his mouth is too busy smoking to speak. Both feel like they're not enough and that they're just living to live until a love confession brings them together. Although, their road to happiness is bumpy and filled with some difficult situations and conversations, Masahiro and Kousuke are determined to have their happily ever after. Beautifully written and drawn, this story hooks you from episode 1 and fills you with tears, laughs and overall heartfelt goodness. I have watched season 1 more times than I can count and loved it so much I even started purchasing the manga which is just as great.

Very good, I hope for a sequel, everything was great, the inspiration, the fact that they had forbidden love, a pair of gay couples, a relative and loving love, the plot fits together, the only problem is that sometimes the script wants to find a random solution, like him pretending that they were discovered or that the biggest fear is being discovered and you will be arrested or something like that since at the beginning of the relationship people think about that first or the fact that he wanted to seem cliché when he was running to see a meteor shower and wanted to get there quickly. He simply fell because he ran in the rain and didn't fall because he would fall at the moment of final decision and the fact that it's simply a bit cliché and repetitive the fact that a student thinks they're kissing, how many animes haven't done this where someone gets caught photographed or something like that, but I loved it, I had a lot of fun at several moments, my heart was pounding when I saw the Cassis together and seeing a sequence, even if it was an OVA, would please me a lot because the anime has become popular in recent times, I wanted that taste of I want more There are a lot of things I wanted to praise, but it was fun and adorable.other things that I will praise is the fact that the teacher is a dangerous and aggressive man, the animation is very beautiful and the characters have good lines and they didn't get lost in one of those lines, their charisma is high and the main thing is the love that is given in the couple, whether in animals or in anything, the anime works very well in this, I wanted a second season, not only me, but also the fans, I even crowdfund for the second season and if there is one it will be very good because I will be watching something I was waiting for for a long time with my boyfriend, please don't disappoint me if there isn't a second season, I'll buy the rights for whatever price you want and they will still be included in the project, don't leave me waiting behind the door, open it for me.

I'm not a big fan of romance, but this is extremely well done. The story and characters are cute and well-written. The animation is fairly good. I like the artwork in this series. It has its own style and looks nice. The voice acting is very good as well. There isn't a whole lot of conflict other than the love story, but it doesn't really need any. I'd definitely recommend watching this series if you are a fan of romance, because this series does it very well.

edit - I will say that upon thinking about it, these leads do play into some heteronormative stereotypes and there are a lot of somewhat unhealthy aspects of the relationship. I only watched about 5 episodes of this show, and while I would still recommend this, its not perfect or anything.

Also, I'm gay.
