| Summary: |
Despite Ryuji Takasu's gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent. Class rearrangements on his second high school year put him together with his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, and his hidden crush, Minori Kushieda. Along with these two comes Kushieda's best friend, Taiga Aisaka. Her delicate appearance contrasts with her brutal personality. Secretly in love with Kitamura, Taiga agrees to help Ryuji with his love interest as long as he helps her get closer to hers.
It’s a new school year and Ryuuji Takasu discovers not only is he in the same class as his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, but also Minori Kukshieda whom he's had an undisclosed crush on for quite some time. Along with Kitamura and Minori is Minori's best friend, the “Palmtop Tiger”, tiny Taiga Aisaka whom, despite her small stature, takes nothing from nobody. (When unflattering pictures of her in a bathing suit were circulated, “Of course, I made it rain blood in the photography club.”) Taiga is secretly in love with Kitamura and she and Ryuuji, despite an oil and water relationship, agree to mutually support each other in their quests for their heart’s desire. |

I must say the ending arc was a bit irritating to watch but luckily ended with a satisfying ending that was quite cute.
The animation was very well done. The best I seen since Kara no Kyoukai though it doesn't quite make it over Kyoukai's animation. Nevertheless it was well coloured, animated and the camera angles were well done.
It was quite an emotional anime. I haven't cried for an anime since Clannad After Story. The comedy is rich that really drawn out the laughter in me (My god that bird is hilarious). The romance between the two characters sneaks up on them very subtly making you sort of wonder when they actually fell in love with each other.
The anime is very touching depicting the themes of famly bonds, fitting in at school, having someone who understands you, living life to the fullest and having the courage to face things head on and not run away.
This is an anime I'd recommend to anyone interested in love. It has a little of harem in it but its not that big and the comedy is refreshingly unique. It does however get a bit irritating and a slight bit cliched but in the end still a good anime. If you enjoyed the anime there's the manga which is still ongoing and of course the light novels.
