10 Anime That Take Place In An All-Boys School

[ad_1]

Most anime show high schools that educate boys and girls. It gives the author the ability to write about any number of situations. These may involve how teenagers adapt to growing up around the opposite sex, potential friendships and possible relationships. There are some anime that go in the other direction, and choose to place their storyline at a single-sex school. Plenty of anime feature all-boy high schools.

It’s easy to assume that these anime will focus solely on romance between boys, and that can be part of the appeal for some fans. However, those series can also be about the developing bonds between boys as they grow into men. Or, perhaps, they just feature absurdist humor about a bunch of delinquents. Anime series have plenty of layers.

7 Gakuen Heaven Sees A Regular Guy Go To A School With People More Talented Than Him

Gakuen Heaven

Gakuen Heaven follows protagonist Keita Ito, a regular boy who’s been invited to join a not-so-regular high school. The prestigious Bell Liberty Academy invites him to attend, and he decides to go. But while attending BL Academy, he quickly learns that all the other boys there are as talented as he might have suspected.

Keita struggles to find a place to fit in there, making friends with most of the people at school. But there’s one boy in particular, Kazuki Endou, who seems intent on getting closer than the rest. Much of Gakuen Heaven’s story is built around the relationship between Keita and the handsome Kazuki, making for a classic romance storyline.


6 Gakuen Handsome Is A Parody Of Shounen-Ai Anime

Gakuen Handsome

Yoshiki Maeda is the latest member of Baraman High School in Gakuen Handsome. While there, he meets an old friend, Takuya Saotome, and gets pulled into a whirlwind romance. The summary for Gakuen Handsome doesn’t really do it justice, because that’s not what this story is about. It’s a satire of boys love series, from the way the romance is always between two people who knew each other as children, to the absurd way characters in boys love manga are drawn.

This leads everyone at the school, and the military and religious sects that have taken over running the world, to come after him. Despite Cluster Edge’s largely male cast, the series never goes down the path of boys love. Instead, Cluster Edge focuses on the bishōnen boys and sci-fi themes.

A ridiculous premise is matched by the ridiculous nature of Akira, who seems to only like other people who wear glasses, and has a problem with people he calls “no glassers.” Glasses Club is funny, despite being a bit silly.
