Or, at least, that's the impression you get at first. She has been bred for a single purpose, and that training colors everything she does and says.
Ai yori aoshi review how to#
In fact, most of Aoi's life has been spent in preparation for her marriage to Kaoru, which means hard training in how to tend a husband properly according to Japanese traditions. Yes, Ai Yori Aoshi has a very traditional view on gender roles, at least for Kaoru and Aoi, and in more ways than one.Īoi and Kaoru both come from very well-to-do families. It's also easy to assume that any man would like the "perfect wife" - one who cleans the house, does the laundry and the shopping, and cooks the meal for the working man when he returns home.Īnd, in Ai Yori Aoshi, that's pretty much what you get, and then some. It's easy to assume that all men really wants is a pretty girl with a big chest and/or large eyes. After all, most people are different, and have different expectations of what they desire in a potential partner. Romantic ideals can often be hard to understand. But starting a relationship, much less keeping it alive, proves to be far more difficult than the two envisioned. But Kaoru, as it turned out, ran away from the family after years of abuse and doesn't want to have anything to do with the Hanabishi anymore.Īoi's heart is still set on Kaoru, though, so the two starts taking faltering steps towards their new life together. Aoi is searching for her childhood friend, whom she once was supposed to marry. Notes: Based on the manga by Fumizuki Kou, once serialized in Young Animal.Ī chance meeting on the local train station turns the lives of Kaoru Hanabishi and Aoi Sakuraba completely around.
