Boys Be is a romantic comedy-drama anime series that first aired in 2000. It is based on the manga of the same name by Itabashi Masahiro and Tamakoshi Hiroyuki. The show follows the lives of six high school students as they navigate the complexities of love, relationships, and growing up.

The main character of the show, Kanzaki Kyoichi, is a sensitive and introspective boy who is trying to learn more about himself and the opposite sex. Along with his childhood friend, Chiharu Nitta, Kyoichi explores his feelings and desires, while trying to figure out how to relate to girls. Chiharu is his confidante and sounding board, who is always there to lend a listening ear.

The other male characters in the show, Yoshihiko Kenjo and Makoto Kurumizawa, are also exploring their romantic interests. Yoshihiko is a confident and outgoing guy who always seems to be chasing after girls. Makoto, on the other hand, is a bit more reserved and introspective, with a talent for art. Both boys have their own problems and anxieties when it comes to love, and they learn to grow and mature through their experiences.

The female characters in the show, Miki Okazaki and Aki Mizutani, also have their own romantic interests and issues to work through. Miki is a track and field athlete who is initially hesitant to get too involved in a relationship due to her desire to focus on her sport. Aki, on the other hand, is a more outgoing and impulsive girl who is looking for love wherever she can find it.

Throughout the show, the characters deal with many common adolescent issues, like jealousy, insecurity, and peer pressure. They also experience the excitement and joy of first love, heartbreak, and the feeling of not knowing what the future holds. The show explores the nuances of relationships and how two people can connect on a deeper emotional level.

One of the unique elements of Boys Be is its focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of relationships. Rather than simply focusing on the physical attraction between two people, the show explores the deeper emotional connection that is necessary for a relationship to be successful. It is a refreshing take on the romance genre, and one that will resonate with anyone who has ever been in love.

The animation style of Boys Be is soft and gentle, with pastel colors and flowing lines. It is a visually beautiful show, with a dream-like quality that perfectly captures the romanticism of adolescence. The music is also noteworthy, with a catchy and memorable opening theme that perfectly captures the tone of the show.

Boys Be is a classic romantic comedy-drama that explores the complexities of love and growing up in a beautiful and poignant way. It is a poignant and thoughtful look at the joys and challenges of adolescence, and one that will touch anyone who has ever experienced first love. With its relatable characters and beautiful animation, Boys Be is a must-watch for fans of the romance genre.
