Lots of lovely boys to ship as they work in pairs! I'm fond of Akutagawa/Dazai and Ango/Oda
Anime spotlight - Bungou to Alchemist: Shinpan no Haguruma
Another guilty pleasure as I watched it for the bishounen buy actually got a bit more of a unique plot.
The plot is Famous writers throughout history find themselves being reincarnated by a mysterious, unseen entity known as the Alchemist. With their souls confined and bound to an expansive library, they are tasked by the Alchemist to jump into books to purify the pages of monsters called Taints. Along the way, they must also rescue and recruit fellow authors trapped within the very stories they themselves had written.
Its Japanese author of classic literature reincarnated as hot boys that then have to dive into the books to save them from evil entity’s who hate literature and want to erase it. Also along the way save authors who have got trapped in their books. You get to see some nice telling of classic Japanese novels but lets be honest you get to see some very attractive boys fighting evil spirits and saving each other.
The animation is gorgeous and so are the character designs plus I really love the opening. Also all the authors work in pairs to save books so you get a whole bunch of boys with close bonds and that means lots of ships. I personally like Ango and Oda but really with 6 pairs of boys you get 6 ships. The action is cool when it ramps up and while it does focus too much on the main pair and their background its a fun watch. I’d like to have had more time with some of the other characters but as an easy watch can’t complain as it know its target audience.
