I'm always curious when someone brings up a new and different anime title I've never seen yet.
I'm not one for series geared more towards girls, but I gave episode one a looksee and liked it for the positive message it had. Really liked how Ran was able to turn Aya around for the better. Ran was awesome-ness.
