Since the 2 season anime, along with its specials and OVA, divide the story into arcs, it provides us with different perspectives of relationships with the main character, Junichi Tachibana. Thus each arc varies in the number of episodes, ranging from 26 episodes to one episode per title. And although small, the entire series is pretty wholesome, considering it plays on the themes of friendships, young love, jealousy, the awkwardness of relationships, and little heart-touching moments with a touch of ecchi.

The first season of the anime has 26 episodes, while the second has 13 episodes. The specials and the OVA only cover short arcs, so they too aren’t longer than 6 episodes. The aforementioned series can be viewed officially on the Crunchyroll website. Unfortunately, the Amagami SS series hasn’t yet procured rights to stream on Netflix and so is unavailable on the site.

After being hurt, Tachibana is now afraid to open up to other people completely and thus develops introverted qualities that add to his silent charm and fear of being rejected. However, as he meets Haruka Morishima, a popular beautiful senpai, he begins to second guess his worries of being rejected and decides to give love another try.

Since this is anime is in an omnibus format, the same happens when he interacts with Kaoru Tanamachi -a childhood friend who has a crush on him, Sae Nataka -a shy transfer student, and Ai Nanasahi -a swim club member who warms up to him despite her suspicions of him. The story also further includes Rihoko Sakurai -another childhood friend with a love for sweets, and Tsukasa Ayatsiyi -the class representative with a dark side. We guarantee that all of these characters are well written and have unique character designs that will definitely leave you readying your waifu certificates.

Besides the bare minimum of being kind, polite, and consensual, Tachibana is also exceptionally observant, incredibly loyal, and fun to be with. Even his sister Miya who has a special exclusively focused on her proves to be a truly entertaining character.
