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.

Overall Rating
Excellent
Story: 4

Animation: 4
Entertainment: 5
This is actually a hard anime to review because many people either hate this one unfairly or make it sound as the best love story ever which its niether....
This story is beautifuly told. It concerns two people greatly misunderstood while thier friends try to help them out.. in the process they get mixed up into finding out that they love the others closest friend. this makes the story somewhat cliche but its doen so well and so realistic that the story is done beautifuly......
The Dialogue is done wonderful with every actor giving it their best but sounding natural throughout the entire series....
The Animation is prety average though they have mastered the way how to show emotions down to a perfected art which is prety amasing.
The Enterainment is awesome as it has lots of comedy, tons of interesting turns of the story, drama and of course a wonderful exploration of the human feelings...
What is a suprizing to me is three things.... first I watched this constantly through to the end which is rare for me however the end was the most interesting I have ever watched.. It was frusterating for me personaly while being both practical and beautiful... I guess it made both sease and wonderful...
the last part that amazed me is how they put another really shocking twist in the story near the end.... so my advice watch the credits so you get the whole story....
I do regreat that only 3 main characters ended fairly happy while the other 2 kinda was just left with their goals rather than love.... - however it is life and it was done so well that I didnt mind it too much....
My recomendation: a must see if you like comedy, realistic personality depth, or want to see a interesting show
Just be prepared for many twists and turns as you might see somthing coming but it may suprize you how the results come into the story...
