I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE GROSSED OUT... HERE'S WHY:
reminder i have only watched episode 1, it could be MUCH worse in further episodes.

-MINOR X ADULT RELATIONSHIP...(AKA misaki(minor) x usagi(adult) This relationship is illegal, and more so that you find out misaki is 17 in the first episode (when his older brother takahiro mentions they dont give alchol to minors, which means he's under 18 in the first episode) If he was 18+, I wouldnt have had a super big issue with this happening, but since they already mention their ages, it isnt okay. This anime is so so GROSS. ALSO the fact that in the FIRST EPISODE, Usagi jacks off Misaki without his consent and him telling Usagi to STOP. (not that he could consent anyways, because he's a minor and minors cannot consent no matter what) 

-BASICALLY A TEACHER x STUDENT RELATIONSHIP... Misaki is the student of Usagi, technically since Usagi is his tutor and Misaki calls him "teacher." Misaki is still in high school, which makes this entire relationship not okay right off the bat. It doesnt matter if he turns 18 later, it matters on what happens in the beginning of their relationship because MINOR x ADULT relationships start out this way a lot of the time. Where they're barely legal and they start doing stuff right before they actually turn legal. 
ITS GROOMING. ITS A GROOMING TACTIC. (i would know..) 

THIS ANIME ISNT OKAY :(( This is why proshippers exist, animes/media like this. That showcases TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS to be "cute" or "ideal" when they are not. ILLEGAL relationships are NOT cute and NOT ideal. It is dangerous to spread media like this, it teaches kids who watch BL that this is okay.
WHEN THIS ISNT OKAY. This isnt cute, this isnt funny, this isnt a healthy relationship. None of the "TEACHER X STUDENT" Boys love anime is. Its not okay, and it fetishizes gay men. (yaoi already fetishizes gay men, so does yuri, they're both PROSHIP.)

Please dont be a PROSHIPPER, get therapy, and please dont watch age-gap anime like this. Its is ALMOST ALWAYS PEDOPHILIC. Stay safe out there guys, because if you think this type of relationship is okay, then you might get into a relationship like this and then get GROOMED. Please dont date people who are way older than you. Its pedophilia, and dangerous for minors. (speaking from personal experience as someone who was groomed this way by someone, and i used to think YAOI and these types of TOXIC relationships were okay. It made me be vunreable to pedophiles. please stay safe :(( Its so toxic to watch these TOXIC PEDOPHILIC animes!!!)

In closing, please please PLEASE always read the bios of BL animes. There are so many PEDOHPILIC animes in the BL genre, and it makes me sick to my stomach... From personal experience, I used to think YAOI and these types of anime were okay.. Which then made me vunerable to being groomed by an adult (which did happen) which wasnt my fault. Media like this on the internet is disgusting. THIS IS PEDOPHILIC :(( (even if he turns 18 at some point, he's 17 in at least the first episode, and he didnt consent to being jacked off by his brother's friend randomly.)

i feel like this is required viewing for new/young bl fans. it's like going to yaoi school or something. you won't enjoy it and you'll be yearning for it to be over but it's good to learn about the foundations of your culture. (this is satire)

I love this anime and Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi: World's Greatest First Love which are obviously very similar BUT I really wish there were separate animes for each couple!! My main complaint is that it skips around with each different couple so much it seems like some of the story gets lost because of it but I still love it! I've watched each of the seasons so far and I love them all! I hope they come out with more seasons!! All of the couples are amazing in their own way!!! It makes you wish you could find loves like these IRL. Truly heartfelt yet very sensual ♥️❤️♥️❤️

This is the Shounen-ai anime that made me be able to read/watch yaoi/shounen-ai mangas/animes without being grossed out (yes, I was a horrible person at that time)

I only watched it 'cause I read the summary at one of my friend's anime magazines and it looked interesting so I gave it a try and ended up liking it!

the only 5 stars is cause the opening song slaps so hard, the episodes are just filled with every BL trope imaginable with the most common BL relationship dynamics ive seen
