Today, I would like to recommend an anime series to you all which I am watching online currently. I like this anime series as it is an adaptation from the shoujo manga series. Well, the name of the anime series is called “Suki-tte li na yo”(Say “I love You”) by Kanae Hazuki.

Quiet and unassuming Mei Tachibana is 16-years-old, but has spent her high school years without making friends or getting a boyfriend because of a childhood incident that left her believing that people will betray each other sooner or later. One day, she accidentally injures Kurosawa Yamato, the school's most popular boy. For some reason, Yamato becomes interested in Mei and starts a one-sided friendship with her. He even protects her from a stalker - by kissing her. Then through their tentative friendship and blossoming relationship that Mei ultimately begins to branch out and befriend others and she changes her life.


Characters :

Yamato Kurosawa (黒沢 大和, Kurosawa Yamato)
One of the most popular boys in his school. When he first meets Mei, he gets kicked by her. After giving her his phone number, Mei gets stalked and calls Yamato for help. When he gets there, he kisses Mei to get the stalker to go away. Then, he eventually grows a liking to her. Asami describes Yamato as someone who thinks of others more than anyone else, protects what should be protected, and cares for others despite having his own problems to deal with.


Asami Oikawa (及川 あさみ, Oikawa Asami)
Mei's classmate and friend who has a complex about her large chest. She hates that people always stare at it and that no one seems to like her for her. She idolizes Yamato because he defended her in middle school, and wishes for a prince of her own to protect her.

One of Mei's classmates, and a good friend of Yamato's. He has a big crush on Asami.

 
Aiko Mutō (武藤 愛子, Mutō Aiko)
A classmate of Yamato and Mei's. She's brash and bad-mouthed, but a nice girl. She's liked Yamato for a long time, but he hasn't reciprocated her feelings.

Masashi Tachikawa (立川 雅司, Tachikawa Masashi)
Aiko's lover, and the only one she can show her "entire" body to. He's liked her ever since she was chubby.

Kakeru Hayakawa (早川 駆流, Hayakawa Kakeru)
A classmate of Yamato and Mei's. He sleeps around with many different girls just to feel as "popular" as Yamato, but still hasn't achieved this goal. His childhood friend, Chiharu (千晴), is one of the few people who treats him as a friend and not a lover.

I like most of the characters in this anime series. They are unique respectively. My most favourite character is Yamato Kurosawa. Wow, he is cool I think! :P I like his love passion towards Mei and he is a good boyfriend instead.
Let us take some sneak preview of “Suki-tte Ii na yo”.
























Actually I have read a few chapters of the manga series of Suki-tte Ii na yo before. But I stopped reading it due to I did not like the art. However, I like the anime series. I think I would start to read it again if I would have the time. I also like the theme songs of the anime series as I think they are beautiful.
