About The Highschool Life of a Fudanshi

Meet The Highschool Life of a Fudanshi (腐男子高校生活), a comedy and slice of life anime by EMT Squared (2016). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: The comedy depicts the daily life of Sakaguchi, a high school boy and also a "fudanshi" who loves boys-love stories. Fudanshi is a wordplay on fujoshi (literally, "rotten girls") — the slang for women who love boys-love/yaoi stories.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Ryou Sakaguchi (Wataru Hatano) and Rumi Nishihara (Aya Suzaki) are two of the characters you will meet early.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
