So, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, or My Little Monster happens to be my favourite Romance Anime and Manga. There's just something about it that I love so much that just can't compare to Kaichou wa Maid Sama or Kimi no Todoke. The anime isn't really that great in comparison to the manga since it really leaves us hanging, I mean "Hello? I'm still waiting for my second season!!" Alright, so this is the basic character sketch.
1) Mizutani Shizuku
Our main protagonist. 'Dry Ice', Shizuku whose only concern in life is getting good grades and earn money to support her family. Does she have any friends? No. Does she care? No. But underneath that cold and hard exterior is a little girl who has been abandoned and is curious beyond belief. Anti-Social 1: Dry Ice.
2) Yoshida Haru
The main lead guy. Yoshida Haru is a social outcast, that genius delinquent that everyone is scared of, heck, he's scared of everyone too. He has no idea when it comes to social cues and although he's violent towards everyone, all he's ever wanted was to be accepted and have a friend. Anti-Social 2: The Monster.
3) Natsume Asako
That internet addicted girl that only has virtual friends. Natsume Asako is a girl outcasted by other girls for being too pretty. She hates boys and is a loner who lives on the net and can't get good grades to save her life (unless Shizuku and Haru manage a miracle). She's really just a lonely girl with a lot of walls. Anti-Social 3: The Beauty
3) Sasahara Sohei
Probably the only person in the group not socially awkward. He's that guy that's too nice for his own good. He's that popular kid that plays baseball, is perfect just because he's the only normal person. He makes friends easily and loves helping people around him. He's the one person that doesn't find the group weird. Social 1: Lovable Kid
5) Chizuru Oshima
She's not friendless, she's just shy. Chizuru Oshima is kind, shy and is really easy to push around. She often tends to believe discord in the group is because of her. She fails to realize just how beautiful, smart and amazing she really is. She's rather sensitive and has an inferiority complex. Anti Social 4: The Shy Girl
6) Yamaguchi Kenji
Commonly know as Yamaken, he's a rather rich and arrogant kid who is infuriated when things are not as they are supposed to be. He constantly gets lost, is smart and is good looking. His major problem is that, being a high class kid, he is socially awkward and doesn't know how to deal with it. Socially Awkward 1: Lost Blonde.
7) Mitsuyoshi Misawa
Also known as Mi-chan, this guy is Haru's gangsta cousin, not really, he used to be a delinquent but now owns a game store. He's really weird in his own way, but he is unconsciously really nice to the point he ends up hurting people with how oblivious he is. Aside from the fact that we have never seen his friggin eyes (is he Aburame Shino's brother or something?) he's Social 2: The Big Brother
8) Yoshida Yuuzan
Obsessed with sweets and pretty things, Haru's older brother, hits us all with his gobsmackingly gorgeous face and then hits us with that damn anime 'evil-brother-I-am-so-Uchiha-Itachi' personality. He has a weird love hate with plenty of people and hates being compared. He's actually really shy and awkward although you cant tell at first. Socially Awkward 2: Sweets Maniac
9) Miyama Yuu
She stares, that's right. She stares and isn't afraid to bluntly say anything. She has a talent for keeping emotion out of her voice and just when you think she can't get any weirder, you find out that she is the only girl in the group with a boyfriend. She is otherwise quiet. She has her own shy and really girly side (which is kind of hard to imagine until you read the manga). Socially Awkward 3: Weirdo
10) Nagoya
Nagayo has one of the most important roles in the entire story, I mean, Haru and Shizuku walk down the aisle with him and Haru pauses the wedding ceremony just to get the chicken's bow tie (wait, how long do chickens even live?) . For some reason, if someone is frustrated or sad at school, this chicken is confided in. Center of Attraction: Nagoya
11) Yamaguchi Iyo
Full of herself, rich, believes that everyone is in love with her. You can so tell that Iyo is Yamaken's sister. Although she believes that she has everyone's attention she is actually extremely insecure (and extremely annoying when she is) she is always looking for the man of her dreams and can't really mingle with others. Anti Social 5: The Snob
12) Mizutani Takaya
Last but not least, this little boy who seems as equally emotionless as his older sister. Takaya plays an important role in the manga and grows up to be drop dead gorgeous! He actually ends up healing other people's wounds in the story. Forgetting the fact that he has a socially impaired family, Takaya is actually quite social and bold. Social 3: The Little Brother
I love this Manga/Anime!
