Boys Be... English Sub & Dub

About Boys Be...

Looking for background on Boys Be...? This comedy, shounen and romance series by Hal Film Maker (2000) starts out like this. The premise: There are two sides to every love story, and Boys Be... reveals what's really going on—from the guy's point of view! Meet three normal high school guys with just one thing on their minds: girls.

Next up: Quiet Kyoichi has been allies with Chiharu ever since they were young, but lately, his feelings have begun to change. Lecherous Makoto, a self-proclaimed master of the rules of romance, is ready to sweep the ladies off their feet. Yoshihiko, a handsome sports nut, is unfortunately a bit clueless in matters of the heart.

With comedy at the core, 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.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Hal Film Maker, which means the visual identity of Boys Be... follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on comedy, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2000, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
