Points to the author for making full use of the double gendered Love as both lover and beloved (times two). One of Love’s classmates sees a picture of Love as a girl (whom Love says is his sister named Pillow (really?)) and the classmate pesters Love for a date with sis. So far, we have a love triangle, but there’s a sub-plot that actually makes it a rectangle. So what’s a boy to do? Well, why not make use of a starry-eyed admirer? No doubt there will be more about this in future episodes. In episode 2 and earlier in 3, we have seen that Vier is insecure the looming contest against Tangmo has unnerved him and he’s unsure that he can win against him. But Vier does knowing that Love likes him and then discovering that his competitor/best friend Tangmo likes Love, Vier manipulates a naive Love into cheering for him at a crucial moment in a judo contest. One might think that having learned that, Love would simply bide her time until he is a she again, but no, she continues to swoon over Vier (failed plotting number 2).
But in the meantime, she continues to pursue Vier. Now this shouldn’t be a problem since Love is really a girl and after 3 months of faithfully dipping into the lake each night, he will become a she again permanently. Well, in her new guise as a boy (and still called Love), our hero/heroine sets of to conquer Vier only to very quickly learn that he doesn’t like boys.
Great men academy series#
The series starts with Love watching Vier, her hero, win the great men competition for the second year running (and coming to the aid of a fellow competitor) what’s not to like? Naturally, she wants to be his forever love, but an encounter with the magical unicorn (failed plotting number 1) results in Love becoming a boy who must then dip into the lake every night before Cinderella time or she will be a he forever. More or less because I have fast forwarded through some of the sub-plots in episode 3. Aside from having some of the usual failed plotting associated with BL series, Great Men Academy has more or less managed to hold my attention. I stumbled across this series and have watched the first three episodes. 24 Favorite Japanese Actors In BL/Gay Roles Thru 2 Decades (Circa 2000-2022) Part 2/3 – Psychomilk's Love Without Gender on Takumi-kun Series Part 1: Soshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite.
