Synopsis
The school romantic comedy revolves around a second-year high school student named Sorata Kanda who lives in Sakurasou, the dormitory for problem children at Sorata's school. One day, Mashiro Shiina—a cute girl who happens to be also a cosmopolitan, brilliant artist—moves into Sakurasou. 

Sorata thinks to himself that he should protect Mashiro from the weirdos at Sakurasou, but Mashiro has a surprising secret: she has no idea how to take care of herself. She gets lost if she goes out, and her room is a complete mess. Sorata's dorm mates designate him as the "master" of Mashiro, and thus, an ordinary boy and a brilliant girl must live like "a master and his pet."

Characters
Nanami "Nanamin, Ponytail" Aoyama - Nanami is Sorata's classmate. Although she is harsh to Sorata, she actually has a crush on him, and everyone aside from Sorata has noticed this. She escaped from her home to become a voice actress, and has to live on her own.

Misaki Kamiigusa - Misaki is the resident of room 201. Misaki is a third-year-student of Suiko who later attends Suimei University of the Arts. She is very outgoing and optimistic. Sorata often refers to her as an "alien". She has very good grades and is very good at drawing, but the school decided to send her to Sakurasou Dormitory because she pays too much attention on drawing anime and manga. She is very good at making animation and can handle most work in making one without help from others. She has already sold an animation to a famous publishing company and made enough of a fortune for the rest of her life.

Sorata "Kouhai-kun, Soranyan" Kanda - Sorata is the male protagonist of the story. He is a second-year student of Suiko, who lives in room 101 of Sakurasou Dormitory. He was kicked out of the standard school dorm after he chose not to throw away a stray cat he picked up. As many of the Sakurasou Dormitory residents have outstanding grades and art skills, he often feels plain and normal among them. He is chosen by Chihiro to take care of Mashiro's daily life, although he resists at first, but he ends up getting used to it.

Jin Mitaka - Jin is the resident of room 103. Jin is a third-year student of Suiko. He is Misaki's childhood friend and a playboy. He has dated several girls, including Misaki's elder sister, but in the end he breaks up with all of them.

Mashiro "Mashiron" Shiina (My Favorite Character) - Mashiro is the female protagonist of the story. She is a the resident of room 202. She is a world famous artist who transferred into Suiko as a second-year to learn how to draw manga. Although her artworks are widely admired by the world in spite of her young age, she knows nothing other than drawing, and has an extreme lack of common sense and living ability. Due to this, Sorata is forced to handle Mashiro's living chores, to the point that he even has to pick out underwear for her, or she will go out without them.

My Opinion
Well, I overall loved this show. I did however want to drop it from the beginning. Thats why my rating isnt a 9 or 10. I didnt want to drop it because it was bad but because it was kinda slow, not too slow but just a tad. Also, the problem of the anime was repetitive. For the main character, Sorata, and one of the other main characters, Nanamin, the problem they faced was the same throughout the entire anime. Didnt like that but it wasnt too big of a problem because it didnt get too old. There was a bit too many sexually provocative scenes for my taste but it didnt ruin the show for me either. Also, this show had the most touching ending Ive ever seen. I cried at this end more than I did when I watched Angel Beats, Clannad, and AnoHana. It was unreal. I cant really explain without spoiling anything but it was good. There is another reason I gave it an 8 as opposed to 9 or 10 and its about the ending but I dont feel I can say without spoiling someone. Sorry, you'll just have to watch it I guess : )

My Rating - 8/10

Watch this anime! It has something in it for everyone.
