Anime Information

In 1998, Masami Tsuda's manga, 'Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyou', was turned into a manga

Like the manga it was based upon, it instantly became a hit.

With screenplays and direction from Hideaki Anno, the creator of one of the most successful animes of all time, 'Neon Genesis Evangelion,' it isn't a simple teenage love story, but an in-depth analysis into life. Following the story of young Yukino and Arima, two young lovers, Anno explores the two's relationships and their own troubled psyches with his unique flare. One moment we have super-deformed, comic antics, the next we have long atmospheric interludes where the characters expresses their most intimate thoughts.

The anime is comprised of only the first eight graphic novels, so to see the full story, the manga is a must.
