About Gakuen Heaven

Here is what Gakuen Heaven is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, school and romance anime by Tokyo Kids (2006). In short: Itou Keita, an average guy, is shocked when he's invited to attend the elite institution, "Bell Liberty Academy. Unnerved by the mystery, he's further distracted by the school's social dynamics.

Further in, in a sea of amazing young men, Keita struggles to find out what makes him unique, and how he can possibly deserve to be treated as an equal by the boys of BL. Lacking any particular ability, just why has Itou been welcomed into the privileged realm of the talented and the beautiful? Along the way, he develops intense relationships with the almost everyone at school but he is terribly drawn to the friendly, over-caring but very unexplained classmate, Kazuki Endou.

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.
