Story

'His and Her Circumstances/Kare Kano' is a tale of two freshman high school students, Yukino Miyasawa and Souichiro Arima, who strive to be the best, each for their own reasons. Their desire to be No.#1 has isolated them from their classmates, neither of them having a true friend.

When they met, they develop very differing opinions of one another. Yukino is angry with Arima for robbing her of her dream of becoming the class representative, and plans to knock him from his position as the best student in the year. Arima, however, is intrigued by Yukino and will do anything to spend some more time with her.

After some initial complications, the two become friends, then more than friends but less than a couple, before finally beginning to date. Deciding to remove the mask they have always displayed to others, they begin to learn how they really are. As the story continues, the couple explore what it can be like to be in a relationship, and also begin to make true friends with school mates for the first time in their lives.

This manga and anime series is more than just a simple love story. It not only explores a budding relationship between two teenagers, it also depicts how these new experiences alter how they see themselves. Another important element is the friendships they form with others.

Some times a fluffy romance, at others heartbreakingly sad, and often a comic masterpiece, it perfectly depicts the teenage condition.
