HITORIJIME MY HERO

A wonderful heartwarming story about a young high school boy, Masahiro, who grew up in a broken home. As a kid he adores his best friend's older brother who takes him under his wing and becomes his 'hero.' As he enters high school, his 'hero' becomes his math teacher. That's when he begins to discover he has a deeper affection for him - but he's flustered about his possible same sex attraction, especially after learning that his 'hero' feels the same way as he does - and that inexplicably his hero had earlier rejected him, claiming he could never return his feelings. But that all gets turned around and becomes quite complicated when they both begin to realize that this teacher-hero could lose his promising teaching career if others should find out that they are lovers. Out of deep fear and love for his 'hero', Masahiro decides it's best to break off the relationship, but is devastated by his own decision. All in all this is a touching story with moments of hilarious incidents, tenderness, deep sadness but most of all the thrill and anguish of first love - and the real 'hero' of the story is revealed at the end. For this type of genre, this was one of the best that I've seen...highly recommended! As a postcript, I would say it's wothwhile to view both versions - the Japanese vocal and the English dub. The English subtitles that go with the Japanese vocal do have different translations in English of of the same scenes, especially the most sensitive and critical scenes. In my opinion, they make more sense of the dialogue and what's happening between Masahiro and his teacher than what you get in the english dubbed version. I'm guessing that in the english dubbed version they were going for the overall effect of the story throughout the whole series , rather than in the single episodes. It's not a bad thing but sometimes it can leave you with the wrong impression of the dynamics going on between the two main characters but also the others as well. It's worth checking out. By the way the english cast did an excellent job, especially the one who did the voice of Masahiro.

Product was in new condition and exactly as described

Just like with most anime, the manga is still the best. I really enjoy this series. It makes me laugh. The anime is good.

A high school teacher and one of his students fall in love, and as I kept watching, waiting for the explosion of moral panic around them to go off, I began to relax and enjoy HITORIJIME MY HERO as the swooningly romantic series it is, a show about starcrossed lovers busy creating the biggest obstacles to their own happiness.Both moody, blond Masahiro and his best friend, jittery Kensuke, are slow to recognize love when the men they're destined to be with re-enter their lives, but what's a BL anime without the driving force of mixed-up emotions? I liked watching the way adult recklessness collides with teenage paranoia; there were plenty of comic moments in what's primarily a romantic drama. The English dub -- and kudos to Sentai Filmworks for providing one in the first place -- is fantastic.

Such a good series 😭 if only it was longer! I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. The moment it came in I binge watched it twice. Fully sealed, no damage or scratches and the discs weren’t floating around in the case.

Great movie!!! It was delivered in perfect condition and still in the rapper!!!

Great story though.

I love this movie and i am caught up in the manga now! But i'm watching it and curious to know if they are mixing books one and two together or not. I shouldn't compare but i like them both. The manga obviously goes longer. So if you can read that. The product is good. No complaints. I am watching it but cd's are good too.
