Horror yaoi? Looks fun. I didn't love how the episode ended but I really enjoyed the rest of it and will definitely be giving episode 2 a look as well. The way "Hikaru's" face melted when asked if he was really Hikaru was great.

Solid First Episode. I am glad I didn't started the Manga

I've heard very good things about the manga, but this didn't really hook me. I'll give it some more time, but it feels like it's not really delivering on the horror or the drama yet. I give the premiere a 3/5 but hopefully it'll find its footing and finish strong.

It was an interesting start. The tense atmosphere was there and production quality seems really good. I'm always cautious when it comes to horrors because good ones are hard to come by, but this looks promising.
