About Amagami SS

Looking for background on Amagami SS (アマガミSS)? This comedy, romance and slice of life series by AIC (2010) starts out like this. The premise: Two years ago, Junichi Tachibana had his heart broken by a girl who stood him up on a date on Christmas Eve. Now a second-year pupil in high school, Junichi is wary of love because of his past and dislikes celebrating Christmas.

Another thread: However this Christmas, his encounter with one of six girls from his school: Haruka Morishima, Kaoru Tanamachi, Sae Nakata, Ai Nanasaki, Rihoko Sakurai, or Tsukasa Ayatsuji will finally open up his heart to love again.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Tsukasa Ayatsuji (Kaori Nazuka) and Rihoko Sakurai (Ryouko Shintani) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 25 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
