Media Blasters Snags 'Gakuen Heaven'
Shonen Ai/Yaoi Anime Series

Media Blasters has announced the licensing of the 13-episode Gakuen Heaven anime series, and expects to release the first DVD in January. Based on the boys' love (shonen ai) manga by You Higuri (Gorgeous Carat), Media Blaster's Gakuen Heaven will be one of only a few BL/yaoi anime series that have made it to the U.S. (Right Stuf released the Gravitation anime in 2004 and has a Thinpak collection coming out at the end of October). The American launch of Gakuen Heaven continues the trend of releasing more shojo (girls') anime series since the audience for BL and yaoi titles is predominantly female.

Meanwhile Tokyopop is set to publish the first volume of You Higuri's Gakuen Heaven manga (which, like the anime series it inspired, depicts the amorous liaisons at an elite all-boys boarding school) in November with an 18+ age rating.

Notice the mention of a Gravitation thinpack release in there as well smile

that's odd. i saw Gakuen Heaven on you-tube. . . ^^ with subtitles and it was really good but i don't see how it would recieve an 18 + rating since there is nothing bad what-so-ever...if anything the more accurate rating ould be 13+ but i guess they rate yaoi/BL differently...am i the only one who noticed that.

If you read it carefully, you'll see that the MANGA is going to have an 18+ rating, not the anime.

Although the scars of yesterday remain, you can go on living as much as your heart believes.

You can't be born again; although you can change.
Let's stay together, always.


This is great!

I can't wait to read the manga. It'll be delicious.
