Summary: Hikari Hanazono, the main character, has always been second to Kei Takishima. While Hikari considers Kei a rival and somewhat of a friend, Kei loves Hikari. Everyone knows this, but she is too dense to notice. Their wrestling loving fathers first introduced them to one another when they were 6 years old. Assuming that she was the best in wrestling, young Hikari challenged Kei to a wrestling match only to be thoroughly defeated by him. Ever since that fateful incident, Hikari swore to beat Kei in school grades, a sporting event - anything. To do this she has enrolled in the same school as Kei since elementary. Now she attends Hakusenkan, an ultra elite school, that costs her carpenter father a lot of money. Hikari and Kei are the top two students in the school, with Kei holding firmly to that number one position.

This is an older Animation and I finnaly decided to watch it and IM so glad I did.

The story is wonderful and beautiful at the same time. It has intersting points, continues with a very everyday feel while being hilarious and each episode continues where the last one left off keeping the story very sharp and strong.

the Dialgue is very excellent and with many veterin actors its not suprizing. Though How many veterins it has in the show did suprize me I recognized over half of the entire cast including forground characters. Each one is done to detail and the voices help flush out their particular motivations and goals.

The Animation is a little lagging, not so much that its not excellent- indeed it is however the bodies are way too long and thin as well as some scenes can be lazy, though often for comedic effect. Overall good animation.

The Entertainment is extremely high. The story has tons of comedy that is just downright hilarious. The drama is true to heart and not overstreched and the back and forth placement of the two main characters is quite enjoyable. It also has one thing few shows do, it has a consistancy that is both real to people and story while progressing foward keeping each character who they are but revealing so much more about them and advancing who they are entirly.

I definantly recomend this for its comedy, its fun and its beautiful slice of life.
