QUICK TAKES
adachigahara_ace_11
That ending feels like a total cliffhanger and it is obvious they just want you to go buy the manga but the tension between the lab assistant and his senpai is so thick
filo_feather_150
The animation for this old OVA is actually decent and Souichi is definitely a tyrant but seeing him get flustered after being such a jerk all the time was interesting at least
ningyo_nemesis_48
Watching Morinaga ignore every boundary because of some mystery potion is a huge red flag and you can't even feel bad for Souichi because he says the most hateful stuff about gay people
taiju_tenacity_158
I know this came out years ago, but the aphrodisiac plot point feels like such a dated trope and it makes the whole encounter feel wrong. Morinaga is usually so sweet, so seeing him flip like that was jarring. Souichi is usually terrible too with his constant shouting and homophobia so it is just two messy people being toxic together
eudial
I really wanted to like Morinaga but that drink scene was hard to watch and he basically threw away any moral high ground just to get with a guy who hates his guts
kunzite
Morinaga finally snapping and taking what he wanted from his homophobic senpai was a huge moment but it definitely leaves a sour taste because of the drugs
sailor_pluto
The way this episode treats consent is basically non existent and it ruins the comedy when Tatsumi is literally begging him to stop during the encounter
white_324
Tatsumi being so aggressive and loud makes it a shock when he finally breaks down, even if the circumstances with the aphrodisiac are completely messed up, and wrong
genos_guardian_118
I think Morinaga lost his mind the second he saw Tatsumi in that state and part of me was horrified while the other part couldn't stop watching the train wreck
tsubaki
Watching this in 2024 is a strange experience because the way Morinaga takes advantage of the drug situation is extremely hard to ignore and it makes the romance feel non existent and Tatsumi being a massive homophobe just adds another layer of mess to the whole dynamic so it feels more like a horror story than a love story right now
raijin_rider
Everything about the consent in this episode is a disaster and it makes it hard to root for anyone even if the drama is high
umizato_unicorn
Tatsumi is such a nightmare person with the way he talks about gay people and seeing Morinaga still pine for him is painful to watch after that hotel room scene
rukia_reaper
Tatsumi yelling and being a total tyrant is exactly what I expected from the title but the ending of the first episode left me feeling so conflicted about Morinaga
solgaleo
I watched this because people kept mentioning the aphrodisiac scene and my god it was so messy and dark Morinaga really crossed a line when Tatsumi was telling him to stop and it made the whole tone shift fast
peepe_wabawaba_487
The aphrodisiac plot is such an old school yaoi thing, but seeing Morinaga actually go through with it while Tatsumi was crying, and saying no, felt pretty gross
yuffie_kisaragi_402
Morinaga waiting five years for this guy is wild and then he just goes and uses a potion like a villain which is so messed up but weirdly entertaining to watch
sakuramysunshine
You can really feel the tension when the most homophobic guy on the planet suddenly finds himself in that position after five years of Morinaga just waiting for a chance
panda_power_138
I know this is a total relic of older yaoi tropes but I found myself hooked on the drama between them, even if the aphrodisiac part is extremely messed up. It feels more like a teaser for the manga than a full show, and it definitely makes me want to see if Souichi ever actually stops being such a total rude jerk
jotaro_kujo_195
Seeing Souichi live up to his tyrant nickname with all that yelling and violence makes the shift after the drink so much more jarring
ancient_robot_295
I am really torn because that drug scene is such a massive red flag but the way Souichi loses his mind is just so chaotic and funny
EPISODE CONTEXT
As the first of two OVA episodes, this entry carries the full weight of establishment — introducing Morinaga and Tatsumi's dynamic from scratch with no prior context assumed. Everything that follows in Episode 2 depends on the groundwork laid here. Watch it before anything else; there is no predecessor, and skipping it means entering the conclusion without the foundation.
