Boys Be… 13
February 17, 2008
Aww. This volume wasn’t nearly as sexy as the last one.
Two stories stuck out in my mind this time around. The first was one about a school legend where anyone who bumps into one another while a certain tree’s leaves are changing will fall in love in a very specific way. Of course the main male and female bump into one another, but the female seems totally unaware of the multi-step process that is supposed to follow. It was a pretty cute story… a bit better than the average Boys Be… story.
The other one was only memorable because my roommate constantly brings up the board games/twister stuff in I”s as totally ridiculous and fun plot points. The characters all play a “Boys Be” board game. There are three guys and one girl, and two of the guys are trying to set the third up with the girl. The actions in the game are things like “class ski trip: bump heads with the person to your right” and “give the person to your right a piggyback ride around the room.” You know… bizarre things that only matter in shounen romantic comedies.
So yeah, I’m kinda back to thinking badly of this series. The last volume must’ve just been a fluke. I did read something about sex promised in the future, but I can’t remember if it was supposed to be in volume 14 or volume 16.
