A manga about the romantic mix ups and hook ups at an all male school provides lots of comedy and seduction in Love Training. It begins with the story of a young man of small means and large hopes. Koji ends up going to a prestigious all boys school, and this being yaoi, meets a guy that’s good looking and very friendly. The problem? He meets him again just a little while later and the guy who caught Koji’s eye acts completely different, giving him the cold shoulder! What’s the deal? Koji is about to find out!
Love Training is a myriad of stories of various young men at the school and the diverse couplings that occur. It holds love matches everywhere to delight yaoi fans. Koji and his romantic dilemma are merely the first. Next, the notorious playboy of the school is rather jealous of his friend’s newly found monogamous happiness. Not that he’d ever admit that out loud. When rumors of a rent-a-guy service seem to prove out, playboy Taiki discovers lust and happiness with his rented lover Makoto. But all is not as it seems and Taiki might be in for the surprise of his life. Afterwards, young Eita has always deeply cared for older Shu who always protected him. But Shu loves another. Amidst heavy sighs, the lovelorn Eita is at a loss of what to do, but Cupid has some surprises in store for the bereft boy. The manga goes into heavier comedy with the story of Kotaro, a foreign student who has many strange ways and claims that he’s a space alien to his friend Kazu. His very ordinary friend Kazu believes it considering all the weird stuff his friend not only does, but gets away with. When the school play naturally has the fair Kotaro as Romeo, he insists on the shocked Kazu being his Juliet. What’s a regular guy to do with a friend like this? The manga wraps it all up with a bonus story involving two teachers in a lab one clandestine night. The manga with its diverse stories is multi-faceted and very funny. It’s not heavy angst driven tales. Instead it wins with levity and fun romantic mishaps. The art style is the fair standard often seen in this genre. It holds explicit scenes but nothing too graphic in detail. Keep your eyes peeled for comic panels on the front and back cover beneath the dust jacket. IN SUMMARY:
Love Training is a manga about the fun romantic misadventures of the young men at an all male school. It will appeal to fans of Gakuen Heaven and Can’t Win With You.
