10- Ookami shoujo to Kuro Ouji

I´m sure you all heard of the phrase ‘don’t bite off more than what you can chew.’ Haven´t you?

Meet Erika, the main female protagonist of this series who is exactly the plain-Jane. Then, we have the dream guy named Kyouya Sata.

With those prince-like looks, it’s no wonder every girl wants to be his girlfriend. However, this show isn’t about a perfect romantic get-away with these two. No, it’s quite far from that.

Her sole mission becomes defeating Kei in every aspect of life.

Several years later, they reunite in High school, part of a class of nine students who are the elite of their school. Hikari, of course, is number 2, something that she loathes, because the number one spot is reserved for no one other than her arch nemesis/rival, Kei. What she doesn’t know is that Kei is in love with her. And so, the story begins.

6-Ore Monogatari!!

“Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.” The quote is amazingly fit to portray the whole series. It’s such a nice love story, in a way. Ore Monogatari!! , also known as My Love Story, is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a story about love between two main characters – Takeo and Yamato. At first glance, they look like a mismatch. It doesn’t take a genius to realize as the two look nothing alike.

Takeo looks like a professional sumo wrestler standing nearly 7 feet tall while Yamato has the appearance of a fragil schoolgirl. However, the story is more than just about appearances. Because in this love story, destiny connects them in ways that really give the word ‘love’ its important, sincere meaning.

Kuronuma Sawako is completely misunderstood, missplaced by her classmates. Her timid and sweet demeanor is often mistaken for malicious intentions. This is due to her resemblance to the ghost girl from “The Ring,” which has led her peers to give her the nickname Sadako. Longing to make friends and live a normaly, she is naturally drawn to Kazehaya Shouta.

He is the most popular guy in class, whose “100% refreshing” personality earns him great admiration from Sawako. So when Kazehaya starts talking to her, maybe there is hope for the friendships Sawako has always longed for. Maybe…there is even a little hope for some romance in her future. “Reaching you” is suitable, as no other words could have been the best title for this anime. A lovely one too .

1-Toradora!

Ryuuji Takasu is a gentle high school student with a love for housework. In contrast to his kind nature, he has an intimidating face that often gets him labeled as a delinquent.
