Papa to Kiss in the Dark
[5.5/10]
Genre: Yaoi, Romance
Mira lives with Kyousuke, his young and popular actor papa who does things with him that papas aren’t supposed to be doing. When Mira starts high-school, he gathers alot of unwanted attention from his peers, especially his old childhood friend who reveals that he has been habouring affections towards him, but despite his growing reciprocal feelings, Mira is conflicted over his feelings for Kyousuke. Mira also comes to find out some startling truths about his origins~
I’m probably being a bit lenient with this rating. Mainly because I did like Kyousuke’s character despite his shota inclinations. His character design just looked a whole lot like an older version of Tamaki from Ouran Host Club, and personality wise he was charming and likeable on the whole. Mira really irked me because he was so whiny and Mary-Sue-ish (aka all the boys want him even though he has a huge father-complex and angsts most of the time). I found the romance factor unbelievable as Mira displayed quite a bit of resentment towards Kyousuke in the beginning and suddenly it was just all lovey and mushy. But at least it had some plot and the sakura tree scene at the end was quite pretty.
In terms of a yaoi anime with a similar theme, I prefer Kirepapa.
