Surprisingly wonderful!
I challenged myself to watch a randomly generated anime, and when this popped up, I was alarmed. I’m not gay, but this story had me in tears, and I loved it so much! The plot, the emotions; they are wonderful!!
I wish people in real life are able to connect the way the gentlemen do here, but alas, my extreme emotions shall never be reciprocated! Even so, the fact that I can escape into this fantasy makes life better!
The art style is pretty good for an anime this old, in this genre!
I don’t know what else to say, except that the characters feel real.

I understand the various ethical implications concerning Yaoi nowadays in regards to rape and consent... But I disagree with some harsh critics. Because as matters stand right now, these things are part of life, and they happen, and they can be represented in an anime as well as in a particular genre, I mean it's art and a form of expression. Moving on, this anime's ethical concerns are very far from the severity of realities out there in the real world, so people who disagree of things being portrayed in X way technically speaking are against freedom of expression, not to mention incongruent with the ...

Yaoi is a genre which is basically animated gay porn for female audiences. But, for some reason, authors try to pretend they're not just two animated dudes fuckin' each other. No, they like to pretend they tell love story, that most of the cases end up being disturbing, glamorizing rape and abuse, or being completely unrealistic.

In which category this title falls? Fortunetly, the last, which is the less offensive. Don't get me wrong, there still guys that jump over other guys, and kiss them and touch them without consent, but at least they're not drugged, or enslaved. Yeh, ethical standard in yaoi are pretty low.

So ... we got two guys, one brunette and the other blonde (i don't care enough about the characters to learn their names) which were porn actors and now they want to make more serious movies, and that's because they do basically the same that they do when they make porn, just this time people won't see their genitalia. So they have sex in their audition, something pretty suspicious, and that happens to you in real life, start to suspect. They fall in what the anime wants you to believe is love. But it isn't, is your typical on and off, toxic relationship, based on the most shallow reason you could ever had to fall with someone. Both are hot and have good sex. I don't think somene will last too muchin a relationship based in those two reasons only.

The first episode is basically that. Two guys screaming at ech other fullfilling the space netween sex scenes to gives us some conflict and fail miserabily on it. They are completely uninteresting, unsympathetic, act like morons and finally, decide to live together. Or better said, one breaks into the other's apartmet and said since that right moment, they're gonna live together as a couple. And then the next episode starts with that same guy cheating with another woman and being caught by the paparazzi.

The second episode, trust me, manage to be even worst. The cheating subplot, which is never brought up again after the brunette forgives the blonde, is the minor of the problems. We met our antagonist, who's the villain with the motivation that makes less sense since Master of Martial Hearts. That's right, i compare this to Master of Martial Hearts. It's that bad.
He was an actor that has to go overseas after a gay scandal destroyed his carrer in Japan, and has come back after years, and wants to destroy the relationship between the two MCs and damage homosexuality's public perception despite he's glad society has become more accepting towards openly gay actors. This would be like in X-Men suddenly Magneto and Mystique had a plan to exterminate mutantkind.

So, moronic main characters and villain, what's left? We got a director, which is the most effeminate guy on the show and wants to make a swinger with the main couple but then change his mind because that means his lover, and also cousin who looks barely legal and is te closets thing to an uke this show has, would be touched by someone else. Despite it was his idea and he didn't have any proble sucking someone else's coock in front of him. Yeah, not much better option.

The only character left that stands is the paparazzi, but because he's annoying, without any clear motivation or background, and looks exactly like the brunette and it that makes me think he maybe a secret son.

The OVA was made in 2005, but it looks it was made in 1995. Everything is extremely dated, both character design and animation, and the music is that kind of stuff that will sound in a sitcom, in a n episode were a middle aged married couple will try to make their special sexy night, but they look ridiculous and everythibg goes wrong.

So melodramatic and unrrealistic story, but the saddest part? It doesn't even work in the gay porn aspect. The sex scenes are boring. Another yaoi shows could be more offensive in the sory, but at least they work as animated gay porn. This fails even in that aspect.

Skip this. Please. If you want to see a romantic comedy with the main couple in the show business, watch Love Stage instead. It's far away more funny and the characters are more likeable.
