Next up is
"TONARI NO KAIBUTSU-KUN"
Genre- Romance, Comedy, School, Slice of Life.
Yoshida Haru, suspended from school as he was too violent in nature and beat up a bunch of his seniors. Our main protagonist here however is not Yoshida but is in-fact a girl named, Shizuku Mizutani. The anime is totally from her perspective and it is a story which she is telling us in a later date about all the people she had met after she visited Yoshida's place on a teacher's request.
Yoshida and Shizuku are both the kind of person who are same in nature yet very different when it comes to their behavior. While they both are honest about their feelings and about what they feel for each other they are someone who cannot decide and make up their mind. Yoshida, who even for his own good is too strong always gets involved in fights and due to that nature of his, he is always stared down by the people who are afraid of him. Shizuku in the other hand was a lonely girl till she met Yoshida, as she grew up to be a person who was emotionless and honest about her feelings. She never had any friends in her childhood and youth and this made her look up to studies which now was the only case how she could remove that loneliness and have some fun in a while. Her dream is to become a women with a good job and and good annual income and she looks up on her mother as she too wants to be a working women. But, what will happen when there is a sudden twist in her heart and the everyday life when Yoshida confronts her that her loves her. Will her dreams be shattered or will it live on and cast Yoshida aside, that is something that you will have to see for yourself in this amazing yet melancholy and hilarious roller-coaster of romance between Yoshida Haru and Shizuku Mizutani.
I personally felt that the anime was left unfinished and has yet to complete its story about the lovers as the ending was something that did not make much of a sense and had no romantic punch in it. The overall story is however a very good and is presented in a typical yet in humorous way, unfolding every string of heart that is tied between the two and how they go on to live their everyday lives after meeting each other.
This anime is recommended for every "Romantic-Comedy" anime lover.
