A single light novel written by Mako Komao and illustrated by the manga's artist was published by MediaWorks under their Dengeki Bunko imprint in January The manga series was adapted into a twelve-episode anime television series plus a single original video animation OVA sequel by Studio Hibari.Funny and provocative, Boy Meets Girl vividly captures the giddy excitement, sexual heat, and inherent heartache of "non-traditional" love in a small town. This results in a same-sex love triangle that Hazumu finds herself in with two of her best female friends. The manga was originally serialized in Dengeki Daioh between the July and May issues, and later published in five bound volumes by MediaWorks from January to May The story focuses on Hazumu Osaragi, a normal, albeit effeminate high school boy who is killed when an alien spaceship crash lands on him, only to be restored to health as a girl.
The televised series aired on the TV Tokyo Japanese television network between January 11, and March 29, comprising twelve main episodes. Yasuna and Tomari vie for Hazumu's affections while Hazumu is initially unable to choose between them. The main plot in the anime is the drama that relates from the three female main characters of Hazumu Osaragi, Yasuna Kamiizumi, and Tomari Kurusu, and their romantic struggles in a love triangle. In episode ten, the anime starts to deviate from the manga and after that, the storyline in the anime has no connection with the manga. The series was based on the manga version of the same name, and closely followed the original story from the first two manga volumes through the first nine episodes, though with some differences. The episodes were directed by Nobuaki Nakanishi, and animated by the Japanese animation studio Studio Hibari. As the credits scroll, the audience is given a gentle spray of fire and sparks. The Kegare have a bold, rough outline to contrast with everything else, even their own environment, emphasizing to the audience the sheer weirdness and abnormality of these creatures. While the art is normally pretty clean, the dark world of Magano endorses its own unique style, trading out the standard black outlines on characters for red ones, using muted lighting on characters, and granting the Kegare rough, sketch-like appearances. Artistically, you can see where the development team put most of their attention. TSE uses blatant dialogue and on-screen pop-ups to help the audience quickly come to terms with the main cast members, such as Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio last name first, as loyal to standard Japanese name format as well as recurring concepts like the Kegare demon-like entities and Magano the Kegare world. General rule of thumb is to not try too hard on a first episode or risk vexing your audience with unconventional tactics or a gross amount of exposition that might turn them away.
