Summary:
A shy and unconfident teenager, Itou Makoto, has resigned to stealing glances at a cute girl as they ride the same train each morning on their way to their high school. At least until Saionji Sekai surprises Makoto and chances a peek at a photo-snap of the beautiful Katsura on his cell-phone. After evilly teasing Makoto about his hopeless crush, Sekai offers to support him in his romance. So after many Makoto-pep-talks and lots of scheming, the three become close friends. Close enough that Makoto braves asking Katsura out on a date. And she agrees. Later that day, Makoto finds a quiet moment to express his thanks for all support that Sekai has offered him, and makes clear his intent on finding a way to repay her kindness. But he is totally unprepared and very surprised at the reward that Sekai has chosen. Sekai steals a long kiss from his lips, before breaking away to run for the train. Sekai turns and wishes Makoto well on his date.
Long story short, I kind of got tired of watching badass action animes so I wanted to watch a comedy romance anime. BOY WAS I WRONG. It is true that this is a comedy, romance, etc. but lets just say it becomes something MUCH MORE (trying not to spoil anything). You probably won't get the nuances of the conclusion until the 3rd or 2nd last episode. The series starts out very cliche with a main protagonist liking a particular girl. A friend (that is also a girl) helps him hook up with her but in reality she also likes him. So thus a love triangle. If you are wanting to watch a NICE and HAPPY comedy romance then look else where cause this anime series is far from it. Its good in its own messed up ways. =/
