This show is definitely not for everyone because that ending was incredibly heavy and the power dynamic between Ayase and Kanou is already super messed up
zamazenta
Seeing Tetsuo just hand over his relative to pay off debts was the coldest thing ever and the music during the reveal was actually pretty haunting
astolf
Ayase crying after being sold for over a billion made me feel so bad for him and Kanou is such a terrifying person right now
yuu_ishigami
five hundred thousand yen per night sounds like a lot until you realize ayase owes over a billion and will be stuck with kanou forever at this rate
black
The animation is a huge step down from the manga and it makes the whole auction scene feel way less impactful than it was in the books
nure_onna_ninja
I felt sick seeing his own cousin sell him at an auction for an unreal price and the way Kanou is already treating him is so dark
misha_necron
tetsuo is seriously the worst relative ever for putting ayase in that auction and i was hoping kanou would be a decent person but then he pulls that move with the debt repayment plan and it just felt so wrong watching him force ayase into that deal when the poor guy had zero other options to get away from him
nanana_gamer
kanou is so massive compared to ayase that it almost looks like they are from two different shows and it just adds to how much of a power imbalance there is
fubuki_blizzard_119
the lack of consent in that bedroom scene was pretty disturbing and seeing ayase so helpless while kanou used the debt to trap him was just a lot to handle
emerald
kanou keeps acting like he knows ayase from somewhere in the past but then treats him like a tool to be bought and used so i really doubt his intentions
joseph_joestar
i felt so bad for ayase crying at the end of the episode while kanou just took what he wanted, that was really hard to watch
kijimuna_kunoichi_89
kanou paying over a billion for ayase just to make him sleep with him to pay it back really grossed me out and i dont see how this is romance
byakuya_blade
this version feels way darker than the manga used to, the atmosphere at the auction house really nailed how terrifying that situation would actually be for someone like ayase
gold_319
ayase looks like a literal child compared to kanou and it makes the whole situation at the end of the episode feel even more messed up than it already was
baniacz
tetsuo is actually such a villain for selling his own family at an auction like ayase was some piece of furniture just to cover his own stupid gambling debts
shizu_serenity
that random guy attacking ayase right before the auction was so uncomfortable and it makes kanou buying him feel even more complicated
haruka_tenoh
it is hard to watch ayase being forced into this debt repayment plan after everything he went through at that auction house and kanou is being way too aggressive
ubagabi_usurper_93
kanou towers over ayase in every shot and those character proportions are really something else to see on screen
dawn
I felt so bad for Ayase getting sold off by his own cousin like that and he spends the whole time crying while everything goes wrong
atticus_358
that 1.2 billion price tag for one person is really insane and Kanou must be loaded to drop that on Ayase without blinking twice
EPISODE CONTEXT
As the opening chapter of a four-episode series, this episode carries the full weight of world-building and character introduction — there is no prior episode to draw from. Everything here is foundational: Ayase and Kanou's initial dynamic is established, and the emotional and dramatic stakes that will define the remaining three episodes are seeded directly from this debut. Expect the series to build sharply from here.
