This Anime is probably one of the more stereotypical of the Romance/Comedy genre. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the series. It was just a bit uninteresting compared to other Romance/Comedy Anime you could have seen. But the fact that it was a basic summary of all the elements of a Romance/Comedy Anime made it a nice heart warming show to remind why I love that genre.

The story is very stereotypical, a young rich girl comes from her higher-up family to be-wed a city boy living with his caring sister. I haven't seen that in any other wife-based Anime (Sarcasm). Anyway, lovable characters pop ... out left and right from the beginning and it becomes easy to tell who is important and who is semi important. The whole story revolves mostly around three main characters, although most of the side-characters each provide a little something to the plot in nearly every episode. One of the things I like about this Anime is that the ending is very dramatically built up which keeps you watching. I won't spoil the ending, but it gave me a good sense of satisfaction.

This Anime was made in the late nineties and the art style is very borderline between its time period and the millennium. Mostly everything is detailed, but not to a remarkable point where it stands out: it's about a step above bland. Some of the hair styles left a lot to be admired, but other than that it had a nice soft feel to it.

As far as the BGM and sound goes, there is nothing really to say. It's not bad, but it's not good. The intro and ending aren't something you'd add to an Mp3 player and listen to in your free time, but they didn't completely break your ear drums.

One of the main things I like is that the characters are all very lovable. Simply put, there's two arguing lovers, an extremely caring sister, a poke-fun-at-you-and-make-funny-rumors-about-you best friend, a nosy reporter friend, and the list goes on. They are your stereotypical cast of Romance/Comedy characters, but they aren't very exciting. In addition, only do the three main characters really develop like I mentioned before.

This is a very well rounded Anime that you could probably finish in one day and enjoy it. It won't pull your heart strings, but it will make you chuckle once in awhile. The one thing is that it's hard to really feel like you are in the characters shoes, which is a main concern in my definition of enjoying Anime. In any Anime, you want to take yourself away and imagine what it is like in the eyes of the characters. This one, sadly, keeps you in a glass box on the outside looking in.

Overall, I say this Anime is good for the genre that it is, but nothing sticks out about it. You could watch it if you don't have anything big on your Anime list, or possibly need to watch a decent Anime to cool down, then I'd suggest it.
