Ichinomiya Kou has always lived according to the creed of his wealthy, successful family: never be in debt to anyone. But one day, under the Arakawa Bridge, his life is saved by a homeless girl named Nino. In order to pay her back, Kou promises to be her boyfriend; and thus begins his new life under the bridge.
I have to say I didn´t initially find the humour very funny, but I warmed up to it after a while. Its not hysterically funny, but it did make me chuckle every now and then. Though the zany over the top style of the humour might not be everyones cup of tea. Seeing as there is no overarching plot it gives the show a sort of slice-of-life feel(despite its unusual characters) and there are even some quite endearing moments between the two main characters. For such a short show it has a suprisingly huge supporting cast with many varied personalities who all add to the quirkiness( is that a real word?) of the show in their own special way. Want a short romance show that isnt full of cliches(not that there is anything wrong with that every once in a while)? Give this a look. Now, on to the sequel to see if it keeps up with the same level of quality or if it even surpasses it :)
