Brief Description:
Miyazawa Yukino is the perfect student. Kind, intelligent, pretty and modest, it's unbelievable that such a person could exist. Little did everyone know Yukino's perfection was just a facade. An act to fulfill her desire for praise and admiration. Her life took a turn however, as a newcomer to their school Arima Soichiro topped the exam rankings. Arima is more then just intelligent, he's also kind, handsome and modest, an unbelievable person who can actually exist. Even worse luck, Arima found out Yukino's secret, blackmailing her to help him out. Their odd relationship soon develops into friendship and eventually into love. But can their love prevail through the many problems that come their way?

Overall, this was a decent series. You have your typical smart students, but they at least have to work for their scores (unlike some other anime). The production value is definitely lower, but the animation company made the best of what they had and pulled it off well. There are some episodes towards the end that have a huge difference in quality, but if this can be overlooked, they should still be enjoyable.

Violence/Gore

To my knowledge, there was barely - if any at all - violence in this movie. There was just a little bullying.

Nudity / Sexual Content

Here is where the biggest problem comes into play. The two end up becoming sexually involved with one another as students while their parents are out of the house. We see them together in bed, but it isn't graphic. Later, the boy asks the girl if she is all right from it.

Potentially problematic theological themes

Again, I don't recall any mention of theology.

Other potentially problematic themes

The main male character had a tragic childhood with his parents leaving him behind after ruinning their lives. His aunt and uncle take care of him, but the rest of the family doesn't acknowledge him or respect him. He constantly seems to be battling with his "evil" side that he attributes to his parents' bad choices.
