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.
Well, the story is nice, characters are interesting and it's easy to get to like them, but after seeing Kaichou wa Maid-sama, I just can't rate this "excellent"... Although there were good, funny or touching moments, Akira and Tadashii made this show for me worthwatching but that's all.
If I were to explain it better... In 'Kaichou..' the main heroine was more interesting, she did things her own way, but she also had the deeper inner self, was sensitive to her stalker feelings, whie Hikari from S.A is just dense and thickheaded and that crazy enthusiasm of her was just irritatnig. She seems to be not quite developed character.
But to sum up : if you want to see some romance, love story of girl who can't see that she's loved and of boy who's totally in love with her, also if you want to see friends, which are looking for their happiness along with them - I guess it won't be bad to watch S.A :) but if you already saw Kaichou.." then it would be rather boring and labelled as "nothing new".
