Although the live-action intro sequence will make you wonder whether it is an anime or not, Boys Be is a very nice series. I find that this sets the proper mood. While Boys Be is centered on Kyoichi and Chiharu, it actually revolves around seven or eight main characters and their love lives. Each subplot is unique and full of emotional insights. If there's one thing to gripe about this series it would have to be its length.
Boys Be is only thirteen episodes long, and it leaves some plot holes.
Enjoy the ride while it lasts, this one's bound to leave you hankering for your adolescent memories. There's a sequel to Boys Be, but unfortunately it does not follow-up on the original series. The soundtrack is also worth checking out.
