But as the trials and tribulations of high school and adolescence descend in full force upon the pair's cozy household, confusion plagues Rin as her relationship with her childhood friend Kouki begins to change into something different.

Your complete anime persona takes account of your unique personality and appearance, and develops and accentuates those traits which have a natural place in an anime life. Your individual characteristics, aside from being developed in alignment with your "ideal" anime life, are also contrasted with a group of friends, each also committed to developing an anime lifestyle and persona. Together, individual similarities and differences help create a dynamic and fun group environment. And since no anime lifestyle is complete without some exciting plot-line, the group is put into action going on adventures, working on projects, and achieving goals together. In chapter 1, you will take several quizzes to help you determine what anime personality traits you have. This will help you find your niche among the friends who will take the anime dream to the next level, providing a context for your individual character to be fully realized.
