About My Little Monster

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, My Little Monster (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) deserves a look (2012). The setup goes like this. The setup: Shizuku Mizutani is apathetic towards her classmates, only caring about her grades. However, her cold view of life begins to change when she runs into Haru Yoshida, a violent troublemaker who stopped attending class after getting into a fight early in the school year.

From there, he is not much different from her, though—he too understands little about human nature and does not have any companions. Much to Shizuku's surprise, he proclaims that she will be his companion and immediately confesses his feelings towards her upon meeting her. Because of her lack of friends and social interaction, Shizuku has a hard time understanding her relationship with Haru.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
