Anime Hajime Review: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou

Series Synopsis


High school freshman, Yukino Miyazawa (voiced by Atsuko Enomoto) has dedicated her life to being number one; whether it is in academics, looks, sports, etc. However this is not her true self. It is all a façade due to Yukino’s desire to be adored and praised by everyone at all times.

Upon entering high school, Yukino is shocked to learn that there is another student who is able to outperform her; Arima Souichirou (voiced by Chihiro Suzuki). Feeling threatened, Yukino tries everything to overtake Arima while still keeping up her model student persona.

One day Arima discovers the truth. Terrified that her secret will be revealed, Yukino begrudgingly and desperately does anything she can to keep Arima quiet. Slowly though, Yukino and Arima start to form a deeper relationship; first as friends, then as love interests, to eventually becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

Despite displaying a calm and well-mannered front, Yukino is actually very energetic, loud, and expressive. For most of her life, the only ones to see this side of Yukino has been her family. After Arima found out and the two of them became a couple, Yukino realized how selfish she had been by deceiving everyone for so long. Slowly she lets her true personality come out for all to see. Although Yukino originally despised Arima, once she got to know him, she soon began to fall deeply in love with her former rival.
