Summary
Nagisa Aoi, a first year high school student, is sent to the prestigious Astraea Dormitory after her parents transferred abroad. There, the dormitory is occupied by students of three well-known all girls’ schools: Le Rim Girls School, St. Spica’s Academy, and St. Miatre Girls Academy. On her first day, Nagisa has an unexpected encounter with Shizuma Hanazano, or also named as Etoile, who is the representative of all three schools and is well loved by everyone. The surprise meeting proves interesting as Hanazano looks to have taken a liking to Nagisa.
Review
I’ve actually been receiving a lot of recommendations from my friends regarding this particular anime, so I decided to finally watch it and see for myself how good it is. At first glance, it does prove to be very, very pleasing to the eye and the audio isn’t bad as well.
But still, it’s a typical shoujo-ai in an all girls’ academy, but it is entertaining to watch. The main heroine is not as simpering, although her love interest is still cold, popular, and mysterious. The characters are very flat, sadly, but the art is immensely pretty and the story’s progression isn’t too bad. Also, I really like the take they did with the ED. Veeerry pretty.
All in all, I’d give it an 8/10. The first episode didn’t bore me so much, unlike Maria-sama ga Miteru, so I think that’s a good sign.
