The Ai Yori Aoshi anime is based on the successful manga of the same name. It features characters that look very similar to their manga counterparts and backgrounds that help to recreate their illustrated stories. The first episodes of Ai Yori Aoshi feel more like the ending episodes in the first Love Hina television series. The intensity sure seems to be there and many of the same elements that played out over many episodes are present from the get go in Ai Yori Aoshi. At about episode four the series seems to take an approach similar to the middle of Love Hina with story lines and characters to match yet we do not even know these characters yet.
Hanabishi Kaoru is a junior in college, living out an ordinary life of studying and friends. One day, he meets a girl whom he discovers is his old friend Sakuraba Aoi, a girl whom he was supposed to have an arranged marriage with.
