■ Review

"Health and Physical Education for Thirty-Year-Olds" is an anime series that was broadcast in 2011, and became a hot topic for its unique setting in which a 30-year-old virgin learns about love with the help of the gods of sexuality. The work is based on Ichijinsha's love how-to book and was produced as an original anime. It was directed by Mankyu, scripted by Akiyama Ryo, character designed by Tamato Sao, sound directed by Yamada Yo, and animated by Gathering.

The story begins when Imagawa Shun, on his 30th birthday, meets Daigoro, the god of sexual love. Daigoro gives Imagawa various lessons to help him graduate from virginity. Meanwhile, Ando Natsu, also 30, learns about love under the guidance of the sexual love gods Pi-chan and Ku-chan. The story revolves around the meeting and growth of Imagawa and Ando, ​​but the humorous characters of the sexual love gods add color to the tale.

Imagawa Shun is a serious science guy who works at a systems company and has no experience in love, so he is confused but works hard at the lessons of the gods of sex. Shimono Hiro's performance as a voice actor realistically expresses Imagawa's purity and confusion, evoking sympathy from viewers. Meanwhile, Ando Natsu is a gentle liberal arts girl who works at a university library and has an appealing dreamy personality. Nazuka Kaori's performance as a voice actor brings out Ando's kindness and purity.

The characters of the gods of sexual love are also fascinating. Daigoro's performance as a voice actor by Okiayu Ryutaro emphasizes his laid-back and trouble-making personality. Macaron's performance as a voice actor by Watanabe Yui brings to life her energetic and competitive personality. Pi-chan and Ku-chan's performance as voice actors by Kitamura Eri bring their respective personalities to the forefront. The contrast between Pi-chan's strong-willed and talkative personality and Ku-chan's silent and expressionless personality adds depth to the story.

The appeal of this work lies in the humorous characters of the gods of sexual love and the pure love story between Imagawa and Ando. The lessons of the gods of sexual love are sometimes extreme and shock the viewer, but this in turn invites laughter and adds excitement to the story. Furthermore, the growth of Imagawa and Ando and the development of their love move the viewer. In particular, the confession scene between Imagawa and Ando in the final episode is so moving that it may bring tears to the viewer's eyes.

Gathering, the animation studio, focused on character design and background art, pursuing visual beauty. In particular, the designs of the gods of sexual love are unique and visually enjoyable. Sound director Yamada Yo focused on the background music and sound effects, enhancing the atmosphere of the story. In particular, the background music in the scenes where the gods of sexual love appear creates a humorous atmosphere.

"Health and Physical Education for Thirty-Year-Olds" is an appealing work with a rare setting and humorous characters for a love-themed anime. Viewers will be moved by the pure love story between Imagawa and Ando, ​​and will laugh at the humorous characters of the gods of sexual love.
