Language of Flowers


My sister was told to watch this anime some time back and I got myself hooked on it as well. Its name is Shuffle! (The exclamation mark is part of the title).

This story is set in a fictional universe in which humans live in peace with gods(have slightly pointed ears) and demons(very pointed ears). Both races are equally kind and for ten years, people have been immigrating between worlds.

The series focuses around seventeen year old high school student, Rin Tsuchimi who attends the multi-racial high school National Verbena Academy. Eight years ago he lost his parents to a car accident that also took the mother of his friend, Kaede Fuyou. Around the same time after he began living with Kaede, he met two mysterious girls at different times by the names of Lisianthus (Sia for short) and Nerine who accompanied their fathers during business meetings. After becoming lost in the human world, Rin befriended them and made them happy.

Eight years later, Sia and Nerine transfer to his school, and Rin becomes a marriage candidate for both of them while other girls he knows seek him as well for a potential boyfriend. Who will Rin choose: Sia, the princess of the Realm of the Gods, Nerine, the princess of the Realm of the Demons, Kaede, Rin's childhood friend, or even Asa, the energetic "Shocking Shigure"?

Watch and find out!

I used the title because there are a lot of allusions to flowers in this anime. Anyway...

This anime is kinda for more mature audiences cause there is some nudity. But if you're able to get past that, the story's really good. Another good recommendation.
