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.

pros
+ quite funny... may remind some of their high school life XD
+ not too far-fetched
+ a variety of themes (family, friendship, romance...)
cons
- ending somewhat annoying, feels somewhat rushed
- animation isn't that great for a 2008 release (but I might've been spoilt)
- female mc can be annoying in the beginning

conclusion: so i'm not usually into the shoujo, but that doesn't mean i can't enjoy a good rom/com from time to time. this isn't too far-fetched, may remind many (especially the females) of own high school experiences, and plays upon a variety of themes. nice characters, though i couldn't help but roll my eyes at tiger's tsundere acts in the beginning. the end is somewhat rushed and doesn't explain much, thus can be annoying, but don't get me wrong, the whole thing is complete; i merely thought there could have been a little more explaining/detail in the end. good comedy however, a steady pace before it gets to the end, and overall not the best to me personally but definitely enjoyable. definitely geared towards the female audience, but nonetheless recommended for everyone who either is into tsundere acts or wants a lighthearted rom/com with drama and emotion to it (kind of like clannad, though not at that one's level).

peace.
