    Praise for Memeco Arii

    Hitorijime My Hero is an amazing just wanting a place to belong and finding that person and place story. Masahiro is a kind hearted and gentle teen who is neglected as a child, shown little to no parental love or support and has never known love. Kousuke is a man who rehabilitates youth by letting his fist fly and relay every word his mouth is too busy smoking to speak. Both feel like they're not enough and that they're just living to live until a love confession brings them together. Although, their road to happiness is bumpy and filled with some difficult situations and conversations, Masahiro and Kousuke are determined to have their happily ever after. Beautifully written and drawn, this story hooks you from episode 1 and fills you with tears, laughs and overall heartfelt goodness. I have watched season 1 more times than I can count and loved it so much I even started purchasing the manga which is just as great.

    Moving & a heartfelt love story

    Loved this anime! It almost had me in tears, that's how moving I felt the storyline was. I'm not in to LGBT romance in anime. Felt like this opened a whole beer anime genre that I haven't explored yet. I would highly recommend this to any one who enjoy a light realistic romance story. Hope there'll be a season 2.

    an enjoyable bit of kawaii angst

    When friendships and role models slowly become "more", and the troubles that come with accepting that.

    It's nicely animated and generally has a good amount of angst worked into each episode, balanced with cute "bro" moments over the dinner table. As an adult it tugged mildly at the nostalgia with accepting myself during my teenage years, but I'm guessing the high school setting was a deliberate choice and aimed at younger audiences who are currently in similar situations as our 4 main characters.

    Almost perfect

    Very good, I hope for a sequel, everything was great, the inspiration, the fact that they had forbidden love, a pair of gay couples, a relative and loving love, the plot fits together, the only problem is that sometimes the script wants to find a random solution, like him pretending that they were discovered or that the biggest fear is being discovered and you will be arrested or something like that since at the beginning of the relationship people think about that first or the fact that he wanted to seem cliché when he was running to see a meteor shower and wanted to get there quickly. He simply fell because he ran in the rain and didn't fall because he would fall at the moment of final decision and the fact that it's simply a bit cliché and repetitive the fact that a student thinks they're kissing, how many animes haven't done this where someone gets caught photographed or something like that, but I loved it, I had a lot of fun at several moments, my heart was pounding when I saw the Cassis together and seeing a sequence, even if it was an OVA, would please me a lot because the anime has become popular in recent times, I wanted that taste of I want more There are a lot of things I wanted to praise, but it was fun and adorable.other things that I will praise is the fact that the teacher is a dangerous and aggressive man, the animation is very beautiful and the characters have good lines and they didn't get lost in one of those lines, their charisma is high and the main thing is the love that is given in the couple, whether in animals or in anything, the anime works very well in this, I wanted a second season, not only me, but also the fans, I even crowdfund for the second season and if there is one it will be very good because I will be watching something I was waiting for for a long time with my boyfriend, please don't disappoint me if there isn't a second season, I'll buy the rights for whatever price you want and they will still be included in the project, don't leave me waiting behind the door, open it for me.

    This Is How You Do A Romance!

    This has been and will remain one of the best romance animes on the market, Especially where BL is concerned. It's got two romances, the better one is centric luckily. The characters are dynamic, the writing is good, and the story isn't over complicated. It's a gem in the Slice Of Life genre.

    For a 12 part series, They did such a good job of fleshing out the characters and making you feel things for them. It's got plenty of twist and turns, It doesn't go too fast or too slow, It's just right.

    This is one of those good animes that you can't really say anything too bad about. It's comedic, romantic, and it does a good job of getting you to care for these characters and how their "forbidden" romance works out, and I think that's awesome!
