Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu (2016) Now that they are reunited, Masamune vows to make Ritsu fall in love with him again since the latter had become reluctant towards love due to the heartbreak he received at school. One of the main reasons why ‘Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu.’ is on this list is because the anime has got potential. For the lovers of shounen-ai, the characters are pretty important, sometimes more than the plot. The manga version has got a loyal fan base because of the story and the characters, but the anime adaptation could have done much better. Since each episode is quite short and there are only four episodes, everything seems to move too quickly, and it’s hard to get close to the characters. But it’s a fun show if you are just looking to watch some shounen-ai on the fly. ‘Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu.’ has a fantasy theme. The protagonist Chiharu Kashima is a wizard. One day a man named Toyohi Utsumi approaches him and tells him his love for magic. Later he confesses to Chiharu that he has fallen in love with him.
As time passes, they grow closer and start spending more time together. But Chiharu is afraid that Toyohi is only in love with him since he is a wizard. ‘Hybrid Child’ is an Original Video Animation based on a manga of the same name. It is a nice little piece of animation that will give you a taste of the shounen-ai genre. The entire OVA has around four episodes, with each episode being 25 minutes in length.
The best thing about this series is that it has a decent premise and well-developed characters. Often when one starts watching this genre, they end up watching a lot of anime that have just cheap tactics to get the viewer’s attention, like making the contents visually vulgar and putting cheap jokes but ‘Hybrid Child’ refrains from doing that. The anime has three romantic stories which deal with artificial beings and their creators. He created a series of dolls called Hybrid Childs, which are neither machines nor humans. These dolls are not only able to experience human emotions but also need them to grow.
