After reading the synopsis and taking a look at the trailer, though, I decided to give it a shot. That, of course, isn’t necessarily enough of a reason: if it’s something I know I won’t get any sort of enjoyment out of, I’m not going to see it, even if it is anime-related. So, then, why did I go see the film Doukyusei ~Classmates~? Well, to begin with, I like supporting anime when it’s released in theaters. I also don’t know how I feel about the portrayal of homosexual relationships in things like yaoi and yuri. There seems to be a particular kind of stigma attached with that “genre,” namely that yaoi or shounen-ai stories have tropes that the vast majority of works follow almost to a T. I will admit that I typically don’t read or watch boys’ love material.
Is Doukyusei a boys' love story that's accessible to more than just yaoi fans?
