It originally ran in Japan from the early 1990s through the mid‑2000s and has been collected into several tankōbon volumes. Below is a concise look at the series that should help anyone curious about its premise, main characters, recurring themes, and overall reception. 1. Premise (Spoiler‑Free) The story follows Annie (also called “A” or “Annie” in the English releases) , a high‑school student who discovers his own gender identity and sexuality through a series of romantic entanglements with older, often troubled, male characters. The series blends humor, melodrama, and occasional slice‑of‑life moments, offering a look at teenage self‑discovery within the yaoi genre. 2. Main Characters | Character | Role | Key Traits / Plot Points | |-----------|------|--------------------------| | Annie (A) | Protagonist | A bright, slightly naïve high‑schooler. Often the “center” of romantic mishaps; his journey is the series’ emotional spine. | | Kei | First love interest | A senior with a mysterious past; initially aloof, later reveals a softer side. | | Miyuki | Best friend | Provides comic relief and occasional counsel; gender‑fluid representation. | | Takeshi | Rival love interest | Confident, charismatic, and a bit of a playboy; his dynamic with Annie adds tension. | | Mr. Saito | Mentor figure | A teacher who subtly guides Annie through his confusion, sometimes crossing ethical boundaries (typical of older‑boy‑teacher yaoi tropes). |
