Summary: A shy and unconfident teenager, Itou Makoto, has resigned to stealing glances at a cute girl as they ride the same train each morning on their way to their high school. At least until Saionji Sekai surprises Makoto and chances a peek at a photo-snap of the beautiful Katsura on his cell-phone. After evilly teasing Makoto about his hopeless crush, Sekai offers to support him in his romance. So after many Makoto-pep-talks and lots of scheming, the three become close friends. Close enough that Makoto braves asking Katsura out on a date. And she agrees. Later that day, Makoto finds a quiet moment to express his thanks for all support that Sekai has offered him, and makes clear his intent on finding a way to repay her kindness. But he is totally unprepared and very surprised at the reward that Sekai has chosen. Sekai steals a long kiss from his lips, before breaking away to run for the train. Sekai turns and wishes Makoto well on his date.

Though love may come in a variety of shapes and sizes, there is simply not better way to describe this particular love as ungraceful. Disturbing as the ending sounds, the anime did create a proper development, and there was nothing much to complain about the unfolding of the story. The story however, contains repetitions of betrayal after backstabbing after betrayal, that it completely ignores the setting, almost as it this could have taken place at anywhere else (a brothel could have done better). I could only describe the actions of the protagonist of utter stupidity, as it goes to the extent of unimaginable fantasy, and fell astray of what could have been a more sophisticated, developed, and original approach for any sad ending. As this was a recent story, the animation was excellent, exceptional and at times, brutal.

The story is complete in my opinion, however, it still deserves a dissapointment of a facepalm, simply because its just fucked up. Moreover, the twist was not even a twist, but rather a decline from a potential masterpiece, to an psychopathic horror of utter horrendous disaster. Yes, life certainly can be like that, if it aimed to be a slice of life, but really, every character was evil. If this was the real world, i would hang myself.

The moral of the story is, don't judge a woman by their sexyness, and never do more than one girl at a time. The moral aspect, as least, was kept intact.

If the author was a male, then I would say this was probably based on his own high school nightmare. I have sympathy for u. NOT.
