Konnichiwa minasan! How was your
Halloween? Did you enjoy it?!
Anyway, I would like to recommend an
anime series to you all which I just finished watching 2 weeks ago. I like this
anime series very much as I think the story is funny and the characters are
beautiful. Well, the name of the anime series is called “Inu x Boku SS” (妖狐×僕SS
Inu Boku Shīkuretto Sābisu), or Youko
× Boku SS, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Cocoa
Fujiwara.
This anime
series consist of 12 episodes plus an OVA. It is a completed series. The story
is about a youkai girl named Ririchiyo Shirakiin moves into the Ayakashikan
hoping for some peace and quiet. Instead, she finds herself with the service of
the Secret Service agent, Sōshi Miketsukami.
Title : Inu x Boku SS
Episodes : 12 episodes + 1 OVA
Status : Complete
Story :
The
Shirakiin house's daughter, Shirakiin Ririchiyo, who has a complex about being
unable to live independently and unprotected, feels the need to move out and
live on her own under the condition of residing in the mansion named Ayakashi
Kan. In this mansion, only those who have cleared a very strict examination
could reside in it, and for each resident, they are accompanied with one agent
of the Secret Service (S.S.). Although Ririchiyo has rejected the company of
the S.S., while residing in the mansion she finds out that the agent dedicated
to protecting her is actually the Fox Spirit whom she previously rescued.
Characters
:
Ririchiyo Shirakiin (白鬼院 凜々蝶
Shirakiin Ririchiyo)
A half-human, half-demon high school
girl who transferred to Room 4 of the Ayakashi Mansion in order to live alone.
She yearns to be independent and constantly worries about not being able to
communicate with other people properly, one of her reasons for moving. Her SS
agent and servant is Sōshi, a fox spirit. She finds out that it was Sōshi who
wrote the letters to her (which were meant to be from her fiancé). Ririchiyo
confesses to Sōshi in then. Though she has characteristics of a tsundere, she is actually a tsunshun in terms of
personality.
Sōshi Miketsukami (御狐神 双熾
Miketsukami Sōshi)
The assigned SS Agent to Ririchiyo and
her servant, Sōshi is the reincarnation of the evil Nine-Tailed Fox. Ririchiyo
helped him when she was little. Later on in the series, it is apparent that
Ririchiyo had changed him in a way. Very calm, polite, and gentle to people, he
has a soft spot for his mistress, blindly obeying her and protecting her with
his life if the situation calls for it. He enters a relationship with her when
he reads her letter she meant to put into the time capsule. What he wishes for is
a family, which he never had. A notable feature is his Heterochromia: his right eye is blue, while the other is a
dark gold.
Renshō Sorinozuka (反ノ塚 連勝
Sorinozuka Renshō)
An Ittan-momen demon with several tattoos on his tanned
skin, he is the tenant of Room 3. He develops a brother-sister relationship
with Ririchiyo, also earning Sōshi's trust in the process. His SS Agent is
Nobara, who although bicker quite a bit have a close relationship. He has a
very lazy personality. He has been confessed love too many times by girls, but
always rejects them, because he knows he will have to separate from them
anyway, and while he can reincarnate, humans cannot.
Nobara Yukinokōji (雪小路 野ばら
Yukinokōji Nobara)
The SS Agent assigned to Renshō. She
is a Yuki-onna and wears glasses in her human form. She is
very interested in fashion and cute girls. Although she states she has no
interest in men, she hugs Renshō from behind, and can be surprisingly caring
for him.
Kagerō Shōkiin (青鬼院 蜻蛉
Shōkiin Kagerō)
Tenant of Room 2; Sōshi, Banri, and
Natsume's former master, and Ririchiyo's fiancée. Kagerō is eccentric,
straightforward, and a narcissist, calling the other tenants "pigs"
or "animals". His SS agent is Karuta, who he keeps on a chain and in
a maid outfit. He classes people in two different categories -
"Sadist" or "Masochist". Ririchiyo used to write him
letters when she was young, however, the letters' responses were in fact
written by Sōshi.
Karuta Roromiya (髏々宮 カルタ
Roromiya Karuta)
The assigned SS Agent to Kagerō, a Gashadokuro (large skeleton made from the bone of people
dead from starvation) whose human form depicts her as a light brown haired
(reddish pink in the anime) teenage girl. Though she appears to be "zoned
out" most of the time, she's actually very clever, observant, and likes
eating. Karuta shows special feelings for Watanuki, who is her childhood
friend.
Banri Watanuki (渡狸 卍里
Watanuki Banri)
Tenant of Room 1, Banri is a mixed
blood Tanuki demon with an impulsive streak and is very
outspoken. Labelling himself a "delinquent", he considers Sōshi his
rival because he called him cute, causing Banri to resent him. His SS agent is Zange.
He has strong feelings for Karuta Roromiya, who was the reason he decided he
wanted to become strong. He deeply hates and is afraid of Kagerō because he was
bullied by him as kids and the way he treats Karuta.
Zange Natsume (夏目 残夏
Natsume Zange)
The assigned SS agent to Banri,
Natsume is a half-human, half-demon wearing a set of black rabbit ears on his
head. He claims to be able to "see" things because of his demon
heritage. He is a very cheerful individual. He is childhood friends with Sōshi
and is very fond of him, calling him "Sou-tan" because of this.
Natsume is somewhat an anaemic and meddlesome busybody. His motto is
"everyone should get along." But he has shown a more sinister side on
occasion.
I
like most of the characters in “Inu X Boku SS” series. They are unique
respectively. My most favourite character is Sōshi Miketsukami. Wow, he is so
good-looking and I like him very much. Although he treats his master very loyal
like a dog, but actually he is in love with her. I think it is so romantic.
My
second favourite character is Ririchiyo Shirakiin. She is a very intelligent
and cute girl. The rest of the characters are very funny too especially Natsume
and Kagero. The way they speak is very hilarious. Haha! J
Let
us take some sneak preview of “Inu X Boku SS”.
I
have not read the manga series of “Inu x Boku SS”. I think I will read it if I
would have the time. In the meantime, I wish there would be Season 2 for such
anime series. There are few ending theme songs in “Inu x Boku SS” series. They are:
