This story is a romantic comedy that really doesn’t start much like one. We start off seeing a young girl named Kotoko entering her high-school ceremony. She becomes completely infatuated with the idea of the smartest boy in school named Naoki. However this pair seems highly unlikely since Kotoko has one of the lowest grades in her class. This entire anime is about her trying to prove herself to Naoki time and time again after being publicly shot down. I know this doesn’t seem that interesting at first but after and unfortunate series of events in Kotoko’s life, she finds herself being forced to live in the same house as Naoki since their parents are friends.
This anime is great because once you think you know what’s going to happen it takes a completely different turn. You find yourself hating Kotoko at times for being so senseless when it comes to liking Naoki after all his verbal abuse, but then you understand why she is trying to hard and end up rooting for her. With Naoki, in my case, I was so mesmerized by how “cool” he was because whenever you think of the smartest guy in school you normally think major nerd which isn’t the case at all.
I know this doesn’t seem like one of my longest blog posts ever at that has to do with the fact that this anime in particular has wayyyyyyyyyyy to much to talk about and I don’t really want to spill anything. All I can say is watch it and see how you react to the different characters. I’m sure everyone will have a different perspective.
