Description:
Just another love story? No way! After ages about hearing what girls have to say about relationships, Boys Be... steps forward to reveal the flip side of love – what's really going on from a guy's point of view! Meet Kyoichi, Makoto and Yoshihiko – three normal high school guys with just one thing on their minds: girls.

The quiet, artistic Kyoichi has been friends with the shining girls track star Chiharu, ever since they were young... But lately, his feelings for her have begun to change. Will he risk their longtime friendship for a chance at love?

Then there's the lecherous Makoto; self-proclaimed master of the rules of romance. Armed with the trusty "Dr. Mitsuboshi's Love Manual", Makoto is ready to sweep the ladies off their feet! But when a moped accident lands this Casanova in the company of a beautiful nurse, will the book's advice be enough to win her over?

And Yoshihiko – a handsome, confident sports nut - is unfortunately a bit clueless in matters of the heart. When a beautiful girl surprises him with a tender kiss, he just can't stop thinking about her. Who is this mysterious stranger, and could she be his destiny?

This 13-episode series is a romance story with a unique twist, from director Masami Shimoda (AI YORI AOSHI / MACROSS 7 / SABER MARIONETTE J), with character designs by Itsuko Takeda (GHOST IN THE SHELL / PARADISE KISS / MAGIC USER’S CLUB)!

Contains episodes 1-3.
