I could confidently tell that not everyone would enjoy this type of genre. Takanaga-san's story telling goes a long way and that's why despite 20 or so years the manga is still ongoing. it's normal for a person's point of view to not change overnight. making the story more realistic. So if you're planning on watching this. I recommend reading the manga after it. The character development happens in a slow but satisfying pace.
• the story was in a normal modern set-up. i would say it's predictable. but I've read lot's of more bl with the same starting point but ended in an unsatisfying way. So it's safe to say that this is one of the best
• the art style is funny and enjoyable.
• the characters are realistic, i could definitely see some scenarios happen to me irl too
• A lot can happen…

When I was a younger h***y yaoi fangirl I use to love this, but after rewatching recently, I retracted my original opinion. Keep in mind I was around 15 or 16 when i originally watched this!
This is disgusting! It’s r*pe. There is no other way to explain it! A homophobic straight being forced to have sex with a gay guy isn’t romantic or sexy, it’s assault. Yet we are made to feel bad for the gay guy because he was “iN lOvE”? F**k that! I have no idea why younger me liked this sh*t but there is definitely better yaoi out there that doesn’t include r*pe! Please for all that is good, don’t watch it!

It made me laugh but the sexual assault was not a vibe.
Not the worst, but definitely not the best, but maybe I have high standards. Some people will like it, but I'm definitely not in that category. I will give it this, however: it's better than Boco no Pico and Yarichin Bitch Club so I'll give it that. It didn't make me want to projectile vomit, it just made me really regret my life choices as a human being which is already a step up from those two I previously mentioned, so congratulations, I guess.
Would I watch this again? Hell no, I respect myself too much to do that. Would I recommend this to others? It depends on how much of a degenerate they are.

That ending made me feel some kinda way. And not a good way. Spoilers ahead;
The uke still called him a homo as a slur, didn't learn anything, and the seme that raped him still thinks with his dick and only cared about sex with him. I really didn't like this one. I thought if there was SOME character growth after that rape scene last episode, I'd understand the hype around the show and how some people managed to watch it 5 times. But right now, all I'm thinking is that I wasted an hour of my life on trash that gives yaoi anime a bad name.
Sure, the sex scenes were hot, but I felt uncomfortable at them. Especially when their first time was a scene where the uke kept begging him to stop because he couldn't physically push him away.
Can we PLEASE just have a consensual sex scene animate…

Firstly, I have to say that I might be overanalyzing my experience, but I wanted to share my thoughts anyway
As a teenager I was one of those girls who were completely obsessed with Junjou Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, and I mean REALLY obseesed - I remember even wanting the SH outro played at my future wedding.
Anyway, for the first time in over 6 years I decided to watch BL again in hopes of experiencing that same euphoric feeling I felt back then. Did I once, during these 2 episodes even come close to feel euphoric? Answer: not in the slightest.
Comparing Koisuru boukun with JR and SH might be incorrect since KB is considered a yaoi while SH and JR are shounen ai, but some of the elements are the same in all 3 shows.
Like I said in the beginning of this review; I might be ove…

sorry for my improper grammar cuz its 2am and idc. ** Slight spoilers** and **TW** so be aware of that. now to my review.
I've watched yaoi before and this one was different in good and bad ways. most yaoi in general is rape or kid on adult. so what made me enjoy it somewhat was the abnormal tropes and art (for its time). Usual tropes would be a super obvious bottom and a super sexual top or something. This one is somewhat those general tropes but toned down. the slight rape involved did make me uncomfortable as with many yaoi. I'm quite glad the series was only about an hour, so not too much suffrage. the plot in the second ep was kinda just weird... I guess u can say in a cute way but this series was not needed. what I did like was the senpai being tsundere and hot so uh ya! i did enjo…

Correct me if i'm wrong, but im pretty sure repeated rape (forced sexual assault if you will) is NOT romantic.
This is insulting to any rape victim ever, especially male rape victims who often cannot seek help for the fear of disbelief and mocking. I think the one ones who would enjoy this kind of anime are obsessed fujoshi with no sense of discerning appropriate and inappropriate portrayals of male/male relationships.
Please don't watch this anime. I'm not one for giving bad ratings, but if I could have, I would have given it an absolute zero. But since it's not possible, I guess I would have to give it a generous 1.

I mean,if you need an example of the It’s Not Rape If You Enjoyed it trope, then look no further than Koisuru Boukun! My God is this creepy. I mean yes, there are a lot of ecchi animes with the storyline of getting the person drunk and then molesting them, and then eventually the drunk person will start liking it sort of thing, and they’re all bothersome to some extent but this one I found extra disturbing. Maybe because it’s played for laughs, or perhaps because the guy who gets drunk is totally straight and doesn’t like gay people, but the guy plying him with alcohol has sex with him anyway, but it’s probably a combination of both.
Now I don’t’ know if it’s explored more in the manga or not and maybe it’s because the anime is so short, but the way it’s played off like Tatsumi liked it ev…

Well, to start this off, I'm not really a yaoi fan, so if you're like me and not into yaoi, you might want to check out my review, or if you want an honest opinion from someone who doesn't usually dabble in this genre.
To say the least, I have shipped my fair share of lesbian or gay couples and I have a massive list of ships, many of which are gay. I've never directly dabbled in yaoi because a.) it's hard to come across in mainstream shonen circles, which is where I spend a lot of my time, b.) because it's a little unrealistic and too filled with sex for my tastes and c.) because I don't really like the way they portray roles of a 'feminine' and 'masculine' person in the relationship. However, I was watching citrus (again, I just wanted to try out the genre... can't say I've been liking t…

I would say give this one a pass unless there's nothing else to sate your need for some Yaoi (which let's face it, is often a time of drought as it is).
While the animation is decent and the sex scenes are all right, the set up is not ideal and spends almost the whole of the second episode waffling about justifying last episode's actions.
One of the main characters in this duo is rather unlikable to boot, not that you want to see bad things happen to him, but that he has a bad personality and an off-putting view point. Doesn't help that he's played by Hikaru Midorikawa, whom I usually love, but can't stand listening to in BL titles (which he keeps landing roles for!).

Not a big fan of watching OVAs, but I decided to start doing so because I wouldn't know what I'd be missing out on if I didn't.
Recently got into the Yaoi (mainly Shounen-Ai), watching Junjou Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. I've learned to appreciate the stories of said anime since they actually have some substance behind the drama and well, sexual stuff XD
Anyway, this 2 episode OVA was good, the storu was nicely paced out being that it's only 2 episodes, and it wasn't too exaggerated with the sexual scenes. I like stories like these, and it ended on a funny note, which is perfect for this short anime, in my opinion.
I'm giving this a seven because I enjoyed it and it was short and to the point. No one said anything in this anime, nor did they behave in a way that would make me roll…

If you've never heard about Koisuru Boukun, I'm highly suggesting you take a peek at the original yaoi, after watching this. Why? Because it's a work that deserves to be appreciated and that I'm highly suggesting you read.
Of course there are many yaoi out there and the major part of them do have the same plot pattern –this anime, unfortunately is one of those. But despite that, it's really worth a try.
Maybe it's too focused on the main characters, forgetting to give space to others side characters as well, but I like the way it is, though the manga's pace is really slow if compared to the anime.
Story: 6
Why the long praise if the story is only rated 6? Well, that's obvious. 'Cause this yaoi has nothing new or innovative if compared to the others. The pattern is the same, always the s…

Even though I gave this anime such a high rating, I was honestly a bit iffy about it at first. When I started out watching the first episode, it was great! The animation was beautiful, the characters weren't all angel-like, it was funny, and entertaining, if not a small bit violent (just a punch and some rough man-handling). The characters (read the uke) weren't all innocent and sweet, rather they were flawed and had their own problems. It was towards the end of that first episode that I started getting a little uncomfortable because there was non-con at the end, but it all works out, eventually.
Other than that, this is actually one of my favorite yaois, because it puts a spin on the stereotypical seme and uke, I was completely taken by surprise when I found out which one was which. The…

First of all, if you're triggered by rape I wouldn't recommend watching this. It wasn't the worst yaoi I'd ever watched, but it wasn't the best, by far. I'm pretty neutral about it, though I would't recommend it to anyone. My friend who was a total yaoi & hentai novice was completely traumatized by the sound effects, poor girl. The thing that really bothers me is how this asshat's pony tail has a strand that is going the wrong way into the hair tiel, how does that even happen. I'd say go ahead and watch it, but it's not that enriching an experience.

This anime had all the key ingredients to create a great yaoi/shounen-ai anime,...and let us praise the heavens because it does not disappoint!! The protagonists were more than loveable characters, the plot was light, funny, romantic, incredibly adorable and of course, there were some steamy love scenes which made me as giddy as a school girl, ki-ki-ki-ki-kiii :3 lol
Story: 8
I give the story a mark of 8 because although the core layout of the anime is somewhat similar to other shounen ai and yaoi animes, the way in which the author has embellished it bringing their own unique spin to the formula is quite good and enjoyable. In addition, the character development proceeds at a natural pace without leaving the audience in a daze thus enhancing the quality of the story. The mood within the…

I just saw the OVA and I love it. I've read the manga before so I was curious and at the same time excited when I heard that they will turn this into an anime. It was short, yet it's very satisfying.
Story=9
Really really great! it's a story not used normally. It's cute and great. They focus on everything, not just with the sex. Slowly, they showed how Souichi is accepting Morinaga in his life, despite him being a homophobe. BTW, I also love the "forcing". kyahhhh!
Art=8
I love the art, it's so light and refreshing. Souichi looks freakin' cool and Morinaga is so cute.
Sound=10
Definitely 10! I hate yaoi and shounen-ai that has a feminine voice for their characters specially when it looks so "manly." I almost fainted with Souichi's voice. I think my ovary just exploded.His moans is jus…

I saw that a voice actor for character that I liked was the main character for this. I sort-of randomly clicked it, saw that it was about HOMOS, saw that it was only two episodes, and said, okay, I'll give it a watch, why not?
Now, uh... I didn't quite know what I was in for but what I ended up seeing was a bit surprising for me. The reason this didn't get a 2 or a 1 was because I enjoyed the voice acting from the two main characters; even if the lines were bad, they spoke with vigor that kept me interested.
The story is pretty flat: homo likes a homophobe; we all know that 99.9% of those people are actually homos themselves. That's uh... basically it. It centers around two characters with other seemingly useless characters peppered in for no real reason. Also, spoilers, they include a f…

Let me just say that the manga of this story is absolutly amazing and my favorite it Comedy/Romance and Yaoi catagories so excuse me if i mention it a few times and compair the two.
~Story~
The Ova covers the First Volumes first five chapters, and in a manga thats 7 volumes and going you can obviously see that the plot of the Ova barely scratched the surface of the true plot. However, since i cant judge it like that i will try to judge it individually. When i heard that the manga had been turned into a short Ova i was not expecting much for two reasons.
The first is that the manga still is not finished, making an ova/anime when the manga has yet to finish usually always ends up terrible. The second reason is because you cant fit such a huge plot in two short episodes because then it would…

This is one of the best yaoi work I've ever seen. Everything from the art to the sound was awesome. It's a refreshing piece compared to all the cliche yaois out there, such as rich men buying poor helpless boys into being their sex slaves or school boys having twisted love triangles.
If you haven't seen Koi Suru Boukun yet, GO DO IT NOW. I assure you that you won't regret it.
NB: If you're against malexmale or any 'forced' sex then please refrain. Although, the 'forcing' isn't really extreme.
(Those who have already watched please continue, those who haven't please turn back now)
