First Impression

I don’t really pay attention to this anime as I play its first episode. Mostly because in five minutes of playback, the anime wasn’t showing anything to laugh at. It’s very serious that almost bored me. Well, I’m avoiding hurt-bad-like-drama or anime since the annoying drama, Proposal Daisakusen.

It’s in my opinion,the anime is a simple typical J romantic drama. One ignorant but too kind guy and pretty girls. The lucky guy is named Shinichiro Yakagami. A young master of sake factory, trying to find his own life to be a mangaka in between the familly heritage burden.
Character

OOT. I remember that there once hentai manga mentioned that “I believe there will be only three girls that had a true true love for one man, but I never thought it would be at the same time.” Well, the anime shown this situation on its own unique way.

The first heart is Hiromi Yasua, the first love of the young master. A very contradictive character if I must say, as she is feminine and quiet go-glasses girl, but at the same time, a strong willed basketball sporty girl. Silent but hasty. Patience and egoistical at the same time. The only incontradictive is the fact that she is pretty. Since the death of her parent she lived in the household of the Yakagami. This condition forced her to enull her love secret toward the young master. ~”Don’t leave me behind!”

The second heart is Isurugi Noe. She is an enigmatic yet naive and dreamy girl. Uncomfort past memmory plays major role in shaping her attitude. However, the story itself zig zag on her development to fall in love toward the young master. She presents an innocence yet charismatic girl that eventually in the end captures the heart of the young master in her own way. ~”I want to take your tears.”

The third heart is Ai. A cook in small resto near the school. She has a long crush to the young master, that unfortunately left unnoticed. Until she shows it clearly and smoothly to the young master. Ah, what a lucky guy. ~”Please, see me!”


Plot

Anyway, the story mainly, plotted by the foolishness of ignorantly stupid male character ~ Argh, I hate this kind of story since the I’s. Though, some of them also got more and more twisted with the past story of Hiromi’s mother. Even complexified with Isurugi Jun, Noe’s brother, who is a bold sister complex and of course the best friend of the young master who’s involved on the net of tears.
Last

Finally, I like the music as it fits to the story well, and the most incrediblessst thing attached to the movie is its background graphic. WOW!! You’ll notice immediately that the anime is worthwhile watch and appreciate as its made with the best capability you might found in 2D anime. FYI, I never amazed with any anime graphic since the full frame rate luxurious animation as in Cowboy Beebop the Movie!
