Masahiro Setagawa is a high school boy who stopped believing in heroes, alias he lost faith in people. During his childhood, he was frequently left alone by his parents, so he ended up joining a gang. Kousuke Ooshiba was known as the "Bear-killer": feared by all the gangs, he one day helped Masahiro get away from trouble. The "Bear-killer" was the reason Masahiro partly regained faith in human beings, so much so that he declared himself his underling. When during high school Kousuke becomes his homeroom teacher, Masahiro's feelings of admiration for Kousuke turn to something different, though...
Hitorijime My Hero is a shounen-ai anime full of love, and it includes the romance of Masahiro's best friend, too. This is a sweet love story, with a cute protagonist toward whom is easy to feel sympathy. Basically, we see a master-underling relationship turning to a sentimental relationship, with all the hardships needed. This show gained a huge popularity in no time, exactly for its good vibes and lighthearted atmospheres. We highly recommend it!
