Has anybody seen this yet? If you haven't, I really think you should. However, it **does** require an open mind and a liking for shoujou-ai. "Yumi is a first year student at the Lillian School For Girls, an exclusive all girl's catholic school. The school has a tradition that older girls take a younger girl as their little sister or "soeur" in order to instruct and look out for them. Though Yumi admires Sachiko, a reserved second year student who is a member of the student council, she has no hopes of being chosen as her soeur. When an innocent encounter leads Sachiko to impulsively ask Yumi to be her soeur, Yumi is suddenly brought into the inner circle of the Roses, who are the members of the student council. With Sachiko at her side, Yumi begins to unravel and understand the relationships between the Roses and their soeurs and figure out her own feelings for Sachiko." - taken from Anime News Network. Anyway, this is a beautiful anime. The artwork is lovely, and the characters are really special. This isn't the kind of anime for someone who prefers blood and action and violence, for it's very sweet and at times, very heart-wrenching. However, it may get a little confusing if you have no knowledge of French. There is constant usage of French throughout the series. Other than that, all I can say is that I highly recommend this show to anybody who likes this kind of story, or anyone who likes shoujou-ai. This isn't "yuri". It's not sexual. This is very sincere and honest romance.     |
