Summary:
Onodera Ritsu has just transferred from his father's publishing company to Marukawa Shoten. Assigned to the shoujo manga division, he crosses path with the person he'd least expected to meet. Takano Masamune is the editor-in-chief of the division Ritsu's been assigned to, and the two seem get off on the wrong foot right from the very start when Takano unexpectedly kisses him. However, there is more to than what meets the eye... Takano is actually Saga, Ritsu's senpai and high school love...

Authors notes:
Right so anyway, This strays away from my usual attempts at being "unbiased" when doing reviews. Mainly due to the fact I actually went into this specifically to write a critique. The reasons for that are rather simple. The only "negatives" so far are opinions of people with clear cut cases of homophobia. They aren't reviews, Just more spam with over tones of narrow minded commentary.
Last thing, I never really found much to hate about this Anime. So I had to nitpick on a few things and probably a little "harsh" on a few points. So this critique maybe a little weak. *shrugs*
So on with the show!
Review:
First off, the basic storyline lacks any real creativity. It's the same basic layout as any over "love story" that's come before. I can't help but feel the basic idea behind the story was a little uninspired. The music? ugh, It's light and sort of I dunno, "happy feeling" I guess, even during times when the main character is annoyed or disgruntled. It's not that the music was bad, just that it was perhaps badly timed I guess. And the main character, bah. His constant reference to himself as "jaded" and the way he always moans about stuff makes him come across a little arrogant and rather self centered. And obviously, this anime probably wont sit well with anyone that has serious issues with "same sex relationships".
On the other hand, the animation and humor of this were rather good. It pulled the entertainment value of this up for me a bit. So to round it all out, this isn't a bad anime, it just may not be to everyones specific tastes. Though, the same can be said for things like Violence Jack, DevilMan or Genocyber.
