It's probably just me, but I get the feeling he cares a lot more about being her friend first (which is probably most of what you're talking about), and is just along with these others because they're ridiculously easy to mess with to hilarious results.

Also the fact he's really into history

He's pretty much just a history Otaku considering his love of Japanese castle scale model kits

Man, I wish I could lose weight half as quick as Serinuma. I was worried a bit how they were going to deal with her weight issues as the series went on, but I think it seems to be okay so far? It seems at least some of the boys like her for who she is which is always nice.

It's addressed in ep5, which is out now!

Man, the direction for this show is good. I'm consistently pleased with how they animate the manga, and Sawashiro was a great choice for Nishina.

I watched the first episode purely based on the crazy description in the OP, having never watched any BL anime before.

This is a good rear end show. Senpai, best guy.

Confession: up until this episode I never actually understood the A x B convention and never cared to look it up, and now it has been spelled out for me in great detail. Thanks show :thumbsup:

I kind of figured it out while watching SNAFU with that one fujoshi, but this just confirmed it with great detail.

e: Although I never heard of versatile in this context. Has that always been a thing?

I think the term used in the fandom is more like "switch", in the English one at least.

I've heard people call themselves "vers" on a few occasions.
Just watched the last episode, Senpai is the best boy. Next episode, if it follows like the manga did it will make you like Nana.

Fuck the DH
What is it with a certain character type having tiny, almost feline-like irises inside otherwise normal sized eyes in some anime? Nanashima has them and it caused me to almost immediately compare him to Yamada of "...and the 7 Witches" fame. Seems to be a common characteristic of "street tough" boys?

Anyway, I don't know if I like him or kouhei more, but I probably consider kouhei because that's my first route stereotype in otome.

This episode was weaponized :kimchi:. I am now dead. Big bro Nana is too powerful.

e: Also was the next ep preview dialogue a nod to "March comes in like a lion"? I didn't quite catch it.

I was wondering how they were going to try to endear me to Shinomiya this episode and I guess it's by saying "but look, he's not these guys who are irredeemable trash?" Whatever, he's still my least favorite.

Really looking forward to next ep being a Mutsumi ep, tho

Mutsumi stopping the rear end in a top hat with just his index finger was awesome.

Also, I choose to believe that the six of them actually did kill, as in literally murder, the three guys at the hotel.

They've been endearing Shinomiya to me every episode by saying he's not these guys who are irredeemable trash, it's just this week the trash is three no-names and not just Igarashi and Nanashima.

He doesn't think of Seranuma as anything but a friend. If I remember right, it wasn't until his brother forced the issue, that Senpai developed (realized?) a crush on her. I love that he's winning and not even playing.

The author, Junko, is a BL manga writer/artist and I wonder if any of the guys will be getting together or if the end will be played straight.
