About Sakura Trick

Looking for background on Sakura Trick (桜Trick)? This comedy, romance and slice of life series by Studio DEEN (2014) starts out like this. The premise: Haruka and Yuu have been best allies forever and they've always sat next to each other in class since… well, since they were just girls in junior high anyway. But on their first day of high school, they're stunned to learn that the new seating plan has them on opposite sides of the classroom!

Soon after, since everyone knows that long distance relationships won't work unless the parties involved put extra effort into it, they decide they need to do something extra special to permanently seal their friendship. However, deciding to kiss each other awakens a whole new level of feelings, and it doesn't help that some of their classmates seem to be 'involved" in similar circumstances. What's a girl to do when her best girl companion all at once seems more like a girlfriend?

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Haruka Tomatsu as Haruka Takayama and Yuka Iguchi as Yuu Sonoda. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio DEEN, so the studio's house style defines how Sakura Trick looks and moves on screen. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Haruka Tomatsu as Haruka Takayama, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2014, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
