From what i can see I like this couple more but there is still alot of time for that to change but I liked this series I love the ending song more then the opening but i like the opening to. This series is so much like Junjou Romantica but Junjou Romantica both seasons r on my top 5 list so lets see if this gets on there to.

So much kissing.
I don't know if I can handle this.
There needs to be at least one male female kiss to set this straight.

Well, it definitely wasn't boring.

so 5/5

wrong genre

I wish all the uke characters weren't so wide eyed and the semes with the narrow sharp eyes.
Like could you be more of a token uke? We need some variety up in here.

Is that the end of the arc...? So quick LOL -checks previews- Guess not. They need more love triangle drama I guess.

Also it's pretty cool to hear Kamiyan, Tachishin and Nakamura in one show LOL

Love the ED song.

I had to pause halfway through the episode to get over myself.
I can't
stand
Chiaki.

At first I thought he was a typical overly dense character, but then Hatori explained how he hid his feelings towards him. What I thought of Chiaki improved, but nevertheless I still think his personality/character is boring and too stereotypical (though I know it's not exactly the right series to be complaining about this). I was either bored or annoyed the entire episode.
Ugh I don't know, I think it's just that I really like Takano/Ritsu's story, and it just set the bar too high. Or something like that. I know Chiaki/Hatori is more of a sidestory but still.... I can't help judging it the way I do.

Hearing Nakamura Yuuichi as Hatori made me laugh so hard considering he just played Nozaki in Gekkan Shoujo and they seem to have similar builds/both stoic.

Although I do want to see more of Takano and Ritsu, I didn't mind this side story and I was actually wondering when I'd run into a straight guy goes gay scenario (or rather just didn't realize his feelings). I wonder if these different pairing's stories are going to connect at some point.

Why the episode about two random dudes? I mean, I ship it, but, huh? And I guess Chiaki was wrong about the kiss and it just looked that way because of the angle he was watching?

This one is cute. I liked the setup. It wasn't as COMPLETELY OBVIOUS as the others.

I was so confused about the first kiss scene in this episode. It's my second time watching this series all the way through and my third time going back through this particular episode bc the first time i watched this i didn't realize their was more than one couple until like the 9th episode bc they all looked so similar. I thought chiaki was just a serious playboy the first 3/4 the first time i watched it.


but back to my original question here: when chiaki is walking by the alleyway after dropping off his manuscript. who does he see kissing in the alleyway? in the show he confirms one of them is Yuu but its really hard to tell if the other one is Tori or not. and then later when Tori and Chiaki are watching the fireworks and just in general Tori always seems so disgusted by Yuu. so were they not in the alley way kissing then and that was some other guy kissing Yuu who looked like Tori or what?

Thanks

P.S. If someone could not just answer this question but also try to back it up with either a personal opioinion or possibly help clear it up from the anime. I mean if Tori really did like Chiaki all this time for 28 yrs he said and hid it. why was he kissing Yuu in an alleyway after yelling wtf in his face and then turning around and confessing later to Chiaki and saying at the same time he wasn't going to be his editor anymore??? its just so confusing and I really didn't get that one part of the episode at all. I backed it up and rewatched the scene bit by bit and in slomo and so many of the characters faces all have the same angles for the life of me i really cant tell if it is Tori or no and if it was then Why was he doing That and to add to it later confessing to Tori if thats really how he felt? Personally I liked how they switched it up since Ritsu can get on my nerves so it was cool they switched it up but this one part i wish they explained better.

They do such a good job in this series explaining by not only what the characters say what they mean by what they say and what their thinking while their not talking that it really made this one scene uuuuuber confusing and the more i thought about this and tried to figure it out the less i did. and ive already seen this to the end so Ik how they rest of the story line goes and it still doesn't make any sense during that one part. and the most annoying thing is even later on When Torie is confessing to Chiaki hes in his head saying I wonder why hes saying he loves me when they kissed it kinda pissed me off that he didn't say it out loud so we got a better explanation.



**if anyone has any insight into this matter please help me understand it. much appreciated.

I..what..? I'm so confused... A new cast of characters all of a sudden, but they look so much like the previous cast that it took me half the episode to realise that. I don't understand this choice the creators made at all. I'd just gotten invested in the old cast, and I'm not invested in the new cast at all. So to me the confession at the end was pretty "meh" and meaningless. Like, I was just introduced to these characters, why do I care that this guy has been in love with the other guy for 28 years?

I'd heard good things about this anime, but so far I'm left pretty disappointed.

I'm curious about the kiss in the alley, was it a kiss? What's the story behind them two, they didn't explain it. Hopefully they do in a future episode.
