We meet Yugami through the eyes of Watanuki Chihiro, the sweet but painfully awkward transfer student. Chihiro is desperate to make friends, and her eagerness to please is as endearing as it is pathetic. Yugami, on the other hand, is so unabashedly direct that he comes off as arrogant and rude to nearly everyone he interacts with. A lesser character might take this an indication to learn, grow and change. Luckily Yugami is above such things. The result is a madcap slice of life series that follows the ridiculous circumstances of Chihiro, Yugami, and their assorted acquaintances up through graduation. If you're looking for heartfelt confessions, the power of change, and romantic tropes... this ain't it, chief. Yugami's unconventional independence influences every event. As a result, the stories seem more genuine even in their absurdity. Characters space out, misunderstand, spread gossip, dislike each other, jump to conclusions and get creeped out like normal kids. Chihiro and Yugami's relationship is oddly symbiotic. While she acts as a Yugami translator at times, he encourages her to be a little more independent. Though they both refuse to acknowledge the connection as 'friendship,' there's no denying that they mean a lot to each other. It's not your typical shoujo trope-fest. The series doesn't let any character off easy. Everyone is heroic, contradictory, sympathetic and human. No one is always right or always wrong. Some characters are maybe a little less smug about it though.If you need another reason to check it out, the art and character design is adorable.
