listen to the Anime reviews of Dakaichi Anime Review: DAKAICHI – I’m Being Harassed by The Sexiest Man of the Year | Episode 23 – It’s A Yaoi Recipe! | Podcast on Spotify

Also very well known for the anime adaptation. I have written and talked about Dakaichi. It’s one of my favourite BL anime. The anime is so fun to watch. So when I saw that Futekiya has the manga licensed and translated into English, I can finally read it properly fully. I did buy the Japanese digital copy (original) copy on Renta (Japanese site)

I wanted to understand the full context of the manga. And make a comparison to the anime adaptation. The manga is much more questionable. I started to question why I like anime?

The drawing is sorta average, not great. I’m the anime, they polished very well. I’m not a fan of the manga, to be honest. It’s too fast and all over the place. I don’t know how this manga series become so popular to make it an anime. Maybe there was something that the studio/animation saw that could profit from. But the anime was ten times better. A lot of time, the anime is far better than the manga. Made huge improvements to the characters and storyline.

The manga is one big non-con story. It will not suitable for any reader who are uncomfotable with these themes. It is too outrageously non-con. I don’t know why that makes a good BL story.

So yes, it did make me question the anime and my liking toward the anime. If I read the manga first, I would be more likely wouldn’t be bothered watching the anime.

Check out my written review of the Anime of Dakaichi: I’m Being Harassed By the Sexiest Man of the Year.

Anime Review: Merman in My Tub

A very handsome mystified merman, Wakasa. lives with a high school boy, Tatsumi. Tatsumi looks after Wakasa, he feeds him and provides him everything he needs in his bathroom.

Wakasa is a very playful merman. He is very comfortable with the luxury of the nice scent of soapy baths and doesn’t want to return to the sea.

I like Wakasa’s rad blond hairstyle.

I’m a sucker when it comes to anime with good-looking male characters.

Tatusmi is a quiet teen, who lives alone. (I don’t know how a teen lives at home alone) but his little sister visits him sometimes.

Wakasa friends come and join him in the bath with Wakasa. Takasu the Octopus and Mikumi the Jellyfish. They are all a hand full to deal with.

It is 4 minutes long. The anime is funny and lighthearted.

The anime is very eye pleasing, I like the style and look of the characters. The characters are drawn nicely.

The Intro is bizarre and confusing.

The only criticism I have with this anime is there are not enough exciting scenarios. The anime doesn’t go as far with the storyline. It could have more playful interaction with Tatsumi and Wakasa. Maybe a hint of romance *wink wink*

There is also a manga that you can buy from amazon. I have not read it.

I rate this anime 3 stars out of 6.

Anime Review: High School Life of a Fudanshi

BL is for everyone!

Sakgaichi Ryo (nickname Gucci) is a normal high school boy who has a passion for BL manga. He is a Fudanshi a Fanboy of BL/Yaoi (I don’t know what Fudanshi means in Japanese). A Fangirl is a Fujoshi (meaning Rotten girl)

This has also got a manga adaption available to read on Kindle:

He struggles to buy BL manga from bookstores without someone taking notes. He also worries he’ll get judged as a guy who likes reading male gay romance. He stated in the first episode that a guy who likes reading Bl manga doesn’t mean he’s gay. (which is true)

His dream is to find other Fudanshi out there and make friends with similar interest.

He already has a friend with a really cool hairstyle, who is not an Otaku. but is just a good friend to Sakgaichi San.

In episode 2 he made friends with a girl, a Fujoshi, she was nice to him. In future episodes, she helps him buy BL to save the embarrassment. 

The anime is sweet and nicely animated. It’s a short 4 minutes long show. Packed with funny scenarios and quirky characters. This anime made me laugh a lot. Sakgaichi Ryo is like the male version of me.

He has nice eyes and a beauty spot.

He has a huge tempura pillow! I would like to own one. It looks like he is hugging a large chicken nugget.

I normally buy BL manga online. But I did use to borrow a BL manga from the library. I get really embarrassed because the librarian has to open the book and scan, the first page has two guys touching each other up.

The anime also reminds me of Gakuen Handsome. which is also available to watch on Crunchyroll. 

There are men who read and enjoy the romance genre. it has become a stereotype that if men read romance it is strange. it’s not right. everyone can read anything they like.

If you are a Fudanshi or fanboy and feel embarrassed it. Don’t worry, it does not matter. Enjoy reading BL!

Watching this anime will be very relatable to you.

I rate this anime 4 stars out of 6.

I wish the anime continues with more episodes.

Anime Review: DAKAICHI -I’m Being Harassed by The Sexiest Man of the Year

This anime will leave you feeling hot and tingling.

A new yaoi anime is now available to watch on Crunchyroll.

I was lucky to discover this anime by chance. I was thrilled it was a new yaoi anime. I always watched Junjo Romanic or World greatest First love on Crunchyroll, so it was refreshing to watch different Yaoi anime.

Takato Saijyo is an attractive famous Japanese actor, trying to get by in his acting career, but another attractive actor Named Junta Azumaga (aka the Pervert Angel) is taking over his crown as the sexiest man.

The story is very fast pace, 20 minutes of watching the anime there’s already a bedroom scene.

I was not prepared for what happened next.

In that scene Junta San confessed his love to Takato San and make a fast move on him. He is very persistent and obsessed with Takato San.

The bedroom scenes are very suggestive and steamy.

There are no graphic details, only a scene of hot kisses, licking and touching. However, is very clear what they are doing. (foreplay cough cough)

Junta San tries to get into Takato San his downstairs department anytime he can. whenever he does that to him, Takato San behaves like a little  submissive schoolboy (he’s age 28 by the way)

There are a lot of funny moments in this Anime. After the film shot, Junta San takes Takato San away and Takato’s manager just allow Junta to kidnap him. Also, Junta San keeps tipping Takato San with 1,000 yen.

Both characters Junta san and Takato San are good-looking couples. The drawings on the characters are seriously good. The animation is neat and well executed.

There is a manga to this, which I just discovered in the comments. It is named Dakaretai Otoko Ichii Odosarete Imasu.

I keep watching certain episodes 3 and 4. (I was not the only one doing that) especially episode 4 as Takato san wears his old school uniform, both Takato San and Junta San play teacher and student.

The only criticism of this anime, it lacked development in the story and not enough conflict. Perhaps the anime could have a good plot.

I rate this anime 5 stars out of 6.

I would definitely recommend this anime to someone who is already into BL/Yaoi.
