Love at first sight is no myth—just ask Okuto Nakamura. Whenever his dreamy classmate Aiki Hirose enters the room, his heart skips a beat, despite the fact that they’ve never actually spoken. Not to mention, Nakamura is a complete klutz with zero friends. Will he ruin his chance at love before it even begins? (Source: Crunchyroll) Note: The series streamed a week in advance on Hulu Japan starting with episode 2 released alongside episode 1.
The verdict
Season picksWorth a lookSpring 2026Just shy of an unqualified recommendation: a gorgeously animated, diabetes-sweet BL romcom about a gay boy working up the courage to befriend his crush, styled like Kimagure Orange Road and Ranma. The gripe is that the adaptation sanitizes the manga's edge, cutting the bullying and the teacher crush. A minor gripe about an otherwise brilliant adaptation.
