She doesn't know if he can ever see her as more than a friend. With her friends rooting for her, she struggles to make him see how she feels about him, and that a romantic relationship between a tall girl and a short guy can work.

If only she could do it without driving herself and everyone else crazy in the process...

I m usually never into romance, but this was highly suggested by a good friend. It turned out better than expected. People who love romance will definitely fall in love with the lovely pair of this anime. No drags, just a perfect relaxing anime. Very different take on romance. Cute and worth a watch!

Good plot. The battles between Battler Ushiromiya and Beatrice are very interesting. I have heard many compare it to Higurashi No Nako Koro Ni. Gets a little bit on the ‘drag’ side but a good watch indeed. People who love blood and gore and nasty ways of killing will love this series. It continuously keeps you guessing how the battles end. As usual for anime’s to have a terrible ending, this one will definitely leave you disappointed. In a nutshell, worth a watch!

Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied

Story starts extremely brutally with diclonius Lucy reaking havoc as she escapes the facility she is being withheld in.(A Diclonius is mutated homosapien that has two horns on their heads, and has the power of "sixth sense" and therefore are isolated in the government labs). While escaping, she gets shot in the head. She survives and drifts to a beach, where two teenagers named Kouta and Yuka discovers her. Having lost her memories, she was named after the only thing that she can now say, "Nyuu," and the two allow her to stay at Kouta's home. However, it appears that the evil "Lucy" is not dead just yet.

Amazing anime. Good story, not the least bit "draggy". Has thriller and romantic aspect attached to it. Again it is one of those anime's where you dont actually know what happens in the end, it's for you to decide. Lucy is not a villian, but rather an anti hero, someone you don't know to be with or against! In short, best 13 episodes ever.

•Comment:
Its not what I would call a good romance anime because I have definitely seen better. Makoto (good boy turned extremely horny) is nothing but a sex freak and the girls find ultimate pleasure with him (C’mon, I have seen way better guys that I would do willfully). The story starts well enough only to be dragged into complete nonsense. There are appreciable twists but in a nut shell, it’s a complete waste of time. 4/10 for the appreciable thriller only in the last episode.
