Well, no screwdriver ending for Akira. Lucky him. Can't wait for next episode.

Good episode, but why did ANN put a gigantic spoiler image/description on the front page of the site? Way to ruin it for everyone who hasn't started watching the show yet.
And who writes these garbage episode descriptions? "not the uke he once was"? Not all of the people watching this series are 13-year-old fujoshi, you know; you don't have to write like you're targeting them.

domino, please tell me all of the terms and words you find offensive. I'm going to specifically write every single front page description to piss you off as much as possible from now on.

The offensive part was the spoiler staring at me in the face on the front page of the site. It would be like selling copies of Final Fantasy VII with the words "Aeris dies" on the back of the package, accompanied by a screenshot of her being stabbed.
But if you feel similarly inclined to spoil every series on ANN by broadcasting major plot twists on the front page, go for it. I apologize for daring to have an opinion.

Fair criticism on the spoiler part (though it's damn near impossible to write up these things on a per-episode basis without giving away anything), but I'll try to avoid those in the future.
Your bizarrely angry rant against common fan parlance aimed at the show's stated target demographic is far less reasonable, so its inclusion kinda sabotages your being taken seriously. That's all.

Maybe you shouldn't be watching this show in the first place if you find the word 'uke' offensive and garbage.

*Clap* You're awesome!
Now back on topic, I really hope they decide to make a second season. With only a few more episodes left, I don't know how they will wrap this one up perfectly. (And which ending they choose to make)

I know just as many guys who watch the show as I do the target demographic. A lot of them had no idea it was even based on a BL game until I told them.
My boyfriend seems to enjoy the show even more than I do, but seeing that image/description not only spoiled it for him ("SOMETHING HAPPENS TO KEISUKE?!") but made his eyes roll. I'm not at all offended by the word "uke" (I'm embarrassed to say that I full completed the game that this was based on) but can't help but cringe at its... cheeziness, when used like that?

Oh please, Keisuke had been waving his flag for the longest of times. His "conversion" actually occured at the end of episode 6. Sucker punching, picking up and carrying Akira was not "normal". If you couldn't have figured out that he took Line after all those murders he committed, then shame on you.
Highlight for me: Shiki showing up and questioning Akira's common sense.
