Definitely an anime that will attract some fujoshis, including myself. There's hyper-sexualization of the male form, but that's basically the appeal. I'm surprised many women haven't seen this anime, considering the number of female anime fans who want more eye candy, but I'll be the kind, unknown lady to review this. I'll sum this up with no spoilers: It's basically a male mahou sho(u)jo, but a unique take on it since the characters are faeries. The plot is interesting, but it's conflicting and unexpected. These guys, who work at a cafe, are secretly undercover magical boys who have to adhere by strict rules, even after they didn't have too. This might sound confusing, but if you see it to the end, you'll understand why I find them following these rules until the end to be confusing. One of these rules is to have nothing intimate to do with women, aka, the opposite sex. I never completely understand why, even speaking on it on retrospect. But the rule is very contradicting, considering they have to 'take their clients hearts', in a swooney albeit dramatic way. Again, I will leave this on hold to avoid spoilers. The art was very beautiful. It was different how the animation style was different from when these guys were in human and fae form. The outro art was splendid. Absolutely delicious. The sound, as in the voices, were spot-on. My favorite pretty boy had such a deep voice for an androgynous fae, but it made him more attractive. The character was okay. You can clearly tell whose the tsundere-blushy guy, the awkward guy, the mature mentor who isn't a great role model, the mr. perfect boy who has to be perfect at all times and kind of snobby, the energetic boyish guy who needs more love. Just kind of wish they were more interesting. I personally was more into the transformations than the characters, except my husbando.

-----------------

The intro was very... Unique, but I thought not much of it. It actually summed up most of the story. How the guys intimately held each other, and the androgynous faerie who, on a song album cover of the series, were holding onto this other faerie. I didn't mind it, I was excited about it. It definitely has some BL elements to it, as well as a few hinted yaoi moments as well. I feel like the BL wasn't unexpected, just unfitting because it served as a distraction. Now, I enjoy seeing pretty guys loving on pretty guys, but I feel as though it wasn't suited for the series since it's so short. It's not BL, because it's only a few cutesy moments and a few love yous, so it really has little to nothing to do with the overall story. I would have loved if I could see more of the guy-loving-guy moments, but the series is too short to enjoy the BL aspect of it. Like, I hope they make a sequel or another season, but I doubt that since the anime isn't as popular. I believe it's not as popular because the general tags aren't too specific, because there's too many elements of the story. Like, I feel it should have been labeled as josei(muke) because of the pretty guys and the BL, as well as the sexualization that would appeal to the older, female audience. I also believe it shouldn't be labeled as 'school-life' because it has little to do with school, and more about making some random women swoon and then them defeating their unexpected enemy. Like, because of how it's labeled, I feel as though it would be easier to find if it was summed up as fantasy, josei, and mahou shounen because no way in hell would I have found this series if I searched school life, slice of life, etc. because this show is among many other anime demographics/genres. Luckily, I had an interest in mahou shoujo, and managed to oddly find this.
