This page is
specially dedicated for Ai Yori Aoshi, a sweet romance story
set in Tokyo. How a growing love overcome all obstacles in
this modern time?
The main character is a man named Hanabishi Kaoru from the
famous, rich, and well-known Hanabishi family. Being in such
a family is not always mean happiness to a person. And so
Kaoru left the family for some reasons.
Sakuraba Aoi, a girl from Sakuraba family, also a rich, famous,
and well-known family in Japan. She was engaged to Kaoru since
they were very young.
As Kaoru left the Hanabishi family, the engagement was canceled.
But the truth, Aoi loves Kaoru very much since she only wany
to be Kaoru's wife, now anyone else's.
And so Aoi went to Tokyo alone, holding only a paper of Kaoru's
address, want to meet him. It was a coincidence since the
man who helped her since she was arrived at Tokyo is Kaoru
himself (they didn't recognize each other until Aoi showed
the man an old photograph of Kaoru and Aoi).
They haven't met each other for years. Aoi decided to start
everything all over again from the first place. She wants
to live with Kaoru. To know him better, to start a new love
made by themself, not from family engagement anymore.
Surely, their love journey is not that simple. Since Kaoru
is no longer from rich family, the Sakuraba clan denied the
new relationship. Will love conquer all problems?How can their
relationship survive?
Sakuraba Aoi, the main female character, was described as
a perfect girl in the way she expressed her love and care.
Hanabishi Kaoru, the main male character, is only an ordinary
man at the beginning. Nothing special about his character.
But later in the series, we will see that he really deserve
a perfect girl like Aoi.
This title is produced by J.C.STAFF production studio. Some
ecchi scenes and deep-meaning conversations indicate that
Ai Yori Aoshi is more suitable for mature anime lovers. Recommended
for age 16 or more. My rating : very good.
Hanabishi Kaoru is 18 years old and is the leading
male character in the series. He seems to be a typical young
man attending his second year of university. In the spring
he will become a third year resident at the college. Kaoru
is a single male living alone in a small apartment and as
such he struggles to go about his daily expenses. He seems
to be honest individual and carries a general sympathy toward
those in need. This is seen in his caring attitude towards
Aoi, in both instances where he helped her as a child and
the instance where he helped her, not actually knowing her
real identity at the time, at the train station and so forth.
Kaoru is also from Hanabishi, his inherent hometown that
coincidentally enough is the same name as his last name.
Viewers can expect more to be revealed about him as to why
he left home and also further questions in regards to his
character as the series progresses.

Sakuraba Aoi is 18
years old and is the leading female character for the series.
Cheerful and generally presenting an uplifting presence, Aoi
is both youthful and exuberant in contrast to analysis on
her character as both a child and now grown up. Aoi has loved
Kaoru all her life and in fact know everything about him,
from his favourite foods to his favourite color. She seems
to have been raised up in a formal family and later in the
series we soon learn about her actual heritage and who she
is. One can already assume that both herself and Kaoru come
from rather wealthy family considering the aspect of an arranged
marriage since they were children. Naive in regards to city
life, Aoi hopes presents a general appeal that she is will
be happy as long as she can be with Kaoru.
