ANIME: Wallflower by Tomoko Hayakawa


this 25-episode anime revolves around the misadventures of four bishounens in order to obtain free rent by turning their landlady's niece into a lady. the story would have been boring if the task is easy enough, but with the presence of an interesting heroine named sunako who has a penchant for horror stuff and morbidity, viewers are in for a roller coaster ride of humor and tidbits of romance. aside from that, the presence of beautifully drawn gorgeous characters is certainly drool-worthy. though there are many scenes in which the animator's laziness in drawing is obvious, its wackiness made up for it. plus, where can you find a series that explicitly teaches its viewers the road to being a lady? i recommend this anime to those in dire need of the medicine called laughter.


RATING: 4 out of 5
