The other day i bought an anime on the spur of the moment which is called "Suzuka", and although i haven't seen that much of it yet, i have been happy with what i have seen so far.
Its not the most original anime, however thats not to say its a mere copy of some other non-descript high school anime and it does have its numerous perks- but generally speaking it does have all the trappings of a standard high school romantic comedy. Its a very enjoyable anime to watch if you just want to chill out to something thats no very serious but is still mature enough to watch- its a safe option.
The plot of the anime is as follows (taken from wiki);
"The plot is based on a young man, Yamato Akitsuki, who moves from his rural home in Hiroshima Prefecture to live at his aunt's apartment building and indoor bath complex in Tokyo and attend the local athletics-oriented high school. Before arriving at his new home, he walks past his new school and sees a young girl practicing high jump at the track field.
He falls in love with her at first sight but does not expect to see her again. He soon discovers that the girl, Suzuka Asahina, is one of the occupants of his aunt's apartment and that they happen to live next door to each other. To pursue Suzuka, Yamato joins the track and field team in hopes of impressing her. After joining the team, he discovers that he has the potential to become a top hundred-meter sprinter. The story intertwines his pursuit of love and athletics.";

Personally i quite liked the anime, although i would only give it 4 out of 5 or 6-7 out of 10- at least for me i found it enjoyable enough to have just ordered a second volume :cool: .
Anyone else seen this anime or read the manga, and if so what are your thoughts/feelings on it :) ?
