<dd>A typical high school student who, in the opening episode, realizes he has feelings for a childhood friend, a track star named Chiharu Nitta. Their relationship develops slowly in the series, however, it encounters some turbulence when he goes out of the area to do some summer work, and upon coming back, sees Chiharu kissing another guy. Kyochi is broken hearted and has a brief relationship with Shoko Sayama and dealt with loneliness with the help of another schoolmate. His interests are in the visual arts, mainly drawing. In the final episode, he travels to Hokkaido to clear his mind and work on some sketches, and get a new perspective on relationships.</dd>

<dd>Yoshihiko is talented in sports (especially <a href="Baseball" title="Baseball">baseball</a>), but has no interest in it whatsoever. He also seems to have no interest in girls... until he bumped into Aya Kurihara at the library and kisses her.

<dd>Makoto is the epitome of a girl-obsessed guy, keeping an electronic database of the good-looking girls at Otowa-no-Mori with him, and checking with his guide books and magazines for love advice. Early in the series, he was trying to peep at a short-skirted schoolgirl as she was climbing the stairs of an overpass, and his scooter crashed into a mini-truck. He then had a crush on the nurse intern. Later on, he used a computer dating program which paired him up with Erika Kawai. Since he lacked real dating experience, Makoto went on a mock date with Yumi. However, his actual date does not go well, when Erika sees a photo of him together with Yumi, and promptly dumps him. Makoto ends up being comforted by Yumi when she offers him her self-made cookies, and he realizes that they had a good time together during the mock date, and they end up becoming a couple.</dd>

<dd>Chiharu is Kyoichi's athletic love interest, running for their school's track and field team. She has been Kyoichi's friend since childhood, but she also has difficulty expressing love, eventually making her move at the end of the first episode by holding Kyoichi's hand while they are out. When she goes out to summer training with the track team, she is wooed by a college guy named Okazaki, and struggles with whether she really has a relationship with Kyoichi. Okazaki continued his advances to which they spent a night together at a lookout point, though she says nothing happened between them. She wanted to keep her tryst a secret, but Kyoichi, coming in to visit, saw them kissing, hence a rift formed between them that lasted all summer. Towards the end of the series, as she sees her friends get into relationships, she considers whether to reconcile.</dd>

</p><p>Reviewing Tokyopop's first volume for <i>Anime Fringe</i>, Patrick King commended the realism and depth of the characters and Hiroyuki's art style as well, stating: "<i>Boys Be</i> is a refreshing series that was written for guys seeking a little romance manga of their own. In that regard, it is easily worth a look if you're one such guy", noting, however, that the stories could appeal to female readers as well.<sup id="cite_ref-82" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-82"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In <i><a href="Manga%3A_The_Complete_Guide" title="Manga: The Complete Guide">Manga: The Complete Guide</a></i>, <a href="Jason_Thompson_(writer)" title="Jason Thompson (writer)">Jason Thompson</a> commented: "Most of the stories involve kisses or love confessions, or are excuses for women to pose in scanty outfits, but the hero does not always get the girl, and a few of the stories are impressively funny." Thompson also said that the art "improves as it goes on," adding, however, that "the repetitive character designs make it difficult to tell one girl from the others."<sup id="cite_ref-JT_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-JT-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In a more negative review, Johanna Draper Carlson of <i>Comics Worth Reading</i> criticized the series for its repetitiveness, formulaic stories and <a href="Fan_service" title="Fan service">fanservice</a>, stating as well that the female characters, except for hair length, look alike.<sup id="cite_ref-83" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-83"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Writing for <i><a href="Anime_News_Network" title="Anime News Network">Anime News Network</a></i>, Patrick King commented that the series is "frequently tender, but never mushy. Its female stars are attractive, but they're not pin-ups, nor do they jiggle without reason. Romance and humor are deftly intertwined in this series, but it is not a standard romantic comedy," adding that the series "depicts the "normal" world quite well, but this show is far from average."<sup id="cite_ref-ANN-DVD1-Review_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ANN-DVD1-Review-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Theron Martin from the same website, said that it is "hardly a dynamic series, and doesn't have much for ongoing plot," but highlighted the "honest, character-driven stories which feel real and avoid going to silly or angsty extremes". Martin said that the series' called the series "unsuitable for anyone who doesn't have a fair amount of patience, but those that do will find a pleasant and likable slice-of-life series free of the normal anime gimmicks."<sup id="cite_ref-84" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-84"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chris Beveridge of <i>AnimeOnDVD</i>, made a positive review of the series, stating that it "consistently brought a smile to our face throughout it. Remembrances of experiences past and the ring of real world truth to much of it makes this something that people can connect to in a way they can't with a lot of other anime."<sup id="cite_ref-85" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>82<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Enoch Lau of <i><a href="THEM_Anime_Reviews" title="THEM Anime Reviews">THEM Anime Reviews</a></i> praised the stories and characters, stating that while they are "slightly stereotyped", they have a "down-to-earth appeal to the viewer." Lau also commended the soundtrack and varied range of music. On the other hand, he criticized the art, stating that it is "rather inconsistent when it comes to character design and sometimes gets a bit too simple," and its short duration.<sup id="cite_ref-86" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-86"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>83<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In a more mixed review, Jeff Harris of <i><a href="IGN" title="IGN">IGN</a></i> stated that the series' relationship drama is at times "seriously overdone and rather sappy," and that it "disappoints more often than not." Harris concluded: "<i>Boys Be</i> is a pretty harmless but overall, a rather tame and vanilla romance anime. The show leaves way too much unsaid, and it feels like barely any progression is made in the story."<sup id="cite_ref-87" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-87"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
