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.
