Plot-wise, there is nothing much other than the adventures the couple have together.
Each chapter separates a series of events.įor example, one chapter may be about Yuuta visiting Rikka’s house, and the next would be a school field trip. However, the absence of such characters does not mean the story is more boring instead, it allows for more room to focus on the relationship between ex-chuunibyou patient Yuuta Togashi and current chuunibyou patient Rikka Takanashi. What must also be taken into account is that a number of characters from the anime does not exist in the original text including the twin tailed Sanae Dekomori, Rikka’s older sister Touka Takanashi, and the sleepy Kumin Tsuyuri. Written by Torako, the story of Yuuta and Rikka spans just only two volumes.
However, the original light novel series that made the anime possible is often overlooked. The series strayed away from the typical slice-of-life romance by involving school kids with dark pasts they want to keep secret: the cursed days when they were infected by the eighth grade syndrome, also known as chuunibyou. Overall 8 Story 7 Art 9 Character 8 Enjoyment 8 A highly acclaimed series, Kyoto Animation did a splendid job on animating Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai.
