Devastated by the news that Kaoru's departure from his clan has also ended their arranged marriage, Aoi, a beautiful tradtionally raised girl, sneaks away from home to find Kaoru, who she hasn't seen since they were children, in the hope that he will still accept her as his wife. Set in modern Japan, the first few episodes are very serious, indroducing a love story that began in childhood, but was interupted when Kaoru left his clan and the arranged marriage to Aoi due to his abusive grandfather, and is attending college in Tokyo. As I am more of an action/comedy anime fan (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Akira, Excel Saga) I was surprised at how quickly I fell in love with the story. This is the most beautifully drawn, written, and produced anime I've seen.
