About Koisuru Boukun

Here is what Koisuru Boukun is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and romance anime by PrimeTime (2010). What the story covers: Tetsuhiro Morinaga is in love with his upperclassman Souichi Tatsumi. He even manages to confess his love.

Next up: Too bad it turns out that Tatsumi is an aggressive, self-centered, and outspoken homophobe. Somehow Tetsuhiro managed to fall in love with Tatsumi, the “walking personality disorder,” who is the kind of man who declares that all gay men should be wiped off the face of the planet. An unfortunate accident with an aphrodisiac drug brings the two men physically together against Souichi’s will.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series.
