| Description: |
Tada Banri, a newly admitted student at a private law school in Tokyo, found himself completely lost after the opening ceremony, trying to find his way to the freshman orientation. At that moment, he ran into another lost freshman from the same school, Yanagisawa Mitsuo, and they hit it off at once. Somehow arriving at their intended goal just on time, there appeared in front of the two a beautiful girl holding a bouquet of roses. The girl then whacked Mitsuo across the face with the bouquet and handed the flowers over to him. “Freshman, congratulations”, was all she said, and then she left. The stylish, well dressed, perfect woman that had swung at Mitsuo was his childhood friend, Kaga Kouko. As children they had promised to marry each other one day, fulfilling their dreams. In order to escape from her, Mitsuo had gone out secretly and taken the examination for this well known private college, but now she showed up in the freshman orientation hall. She too had taken the law school entrance examination, catching up with him there. |

The anime was okay, but the manga highlights the fun parts (personalities) of the characters better and it also handles the "spit personality" of Banri better. The anime was overdone on the drama bits.
I don't think the anime was bad, but agree that manga is a lot better.
Tag is wrong. Manga is in Dengeki Daioh, which is shounen magazine.
This is unexpectedly good! Good ol' seinen tag.
dont bother with the anime, its bad, at least for me
Kouko really looks lovelier in manga!!
O. I. C.
so, it's like a split personality born from amnesia? I'm starting to get worried for Kaga-san.
And what's with the anime discussion? I never watched it since I heard there's quite the difference. Is it any good? If I watch it, would it considerably drop my enjoyment of this comic?
Don't make Kaga cry.... please.
So far this manga seems identical to the anime.
The series has been tagged as "supernatural" since the very first light novel volume came out.
That dood Banri is trippin'.
Don't go back banri, don't go back to her
The anime is fine. It successfully manages to play as a straight story while at the same time being very trope savvy. Whenever it can, it subverts major tropes in order to make a point about an issue that is persistent in anime: Characters defined only by the person they like. In this regard, the anime succeeded splendidly.
Wait a minute...why does it have a "supernatural" tag now? That wasn't there before, was it? Are they qualifying...
Save yourself. Don't watch the anime.
From where I sit, the LN, the manga and the anime are all different. The anime is very condensed, and somewhat sanitized (no obvious underage drinking). The manga is funnier, and leaves off much of the depth which can be very hard to express in a graphic form. And the LN is very difficult to translate compared to the anime or the manga.
Uh oh.
I like the manga, but didn't the anime closely follow the manga? I haven't watched the anime because I was busy that season and have yet to marathon it.
Shit got real though.
The "weirdness" of the LN translation comes from two things. The first reason is that my understanding of Japanese has been (hopefully) improving over time. I started translating the first LN volume nearly four years ago now, and I have not gone back to revise it.
The second reason is that the original text is, shall we say, rather unusual? It confused the Japanese readers for a while too. Nobody semed to know how to understand it when the narrator was suddenly somebody else, and worse, somebody who declared himself to be dead.
I read the LN, the manga, and watched the anime mmm...
I have to say I like the manga the most since it's easier too read than the LN which is very slow paced and using a weird third person perspective (which is actually unique) and more "complete" than the anime mmm...
