Summary: Despite Ryuji Takasu's gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent. Class rearrangements on his second high school year put him together with his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, and his hidden crush, Minori Kushieda. Along with these two comes Kushieda's best friend, Taiga Aisaka. Her delicate appearance contrasts with her brutal personality. Secretly in love with Kitamura, Taiga agrees to help Ryuji with his love interest as long as he helps her get closer to hers.
It’s a new school year and Ryuuji Takasu discovers not only is he in the same class as his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, but also Minori Kukshieda whom he's had an undisclosed crush on for quite some time. Along with Kitamura and Minori is Minori's best friend, the “Palmtop Tiger”, tiny Taiga Aisaka whom, despite her small stature, takes nothing from nobody. (When unflattering pictures of her in a bathing suit were circulated, “Of course, I made it rain blood in the photography club.”) Taiga is secretly in love with Kitamura and she and Ryuuji, despite an oil and water relationship, agree to mutually support each other in their quests for their heart’s desire.

The title to this review says it all. It took the classic polar opposites, mixed in comedy, threw in romance, and we've got something good.

They both have a love interest, and if they were comfy with themselves, it wouldnt be funny. But they are awkward and can't approach the person they like so use the other as a proxy. This is where things get awkward, and yet remains both funny and at times heart warming. What happened about the middle of the series should come as no surprise to anyone, but even the obvious can still be good if written well.

The title is what got my interest, and after their first confrontation, I knew I was watching Comedy Gold. I was hooked until the credits on the final episode.

If you want some good laughs, but also want a story with some warm and fuzzy, definitely watch this!
