I started reading it a while ago (I got the first volume in March) and wanted to know if the series is any good. ^^ I am thinking about getting the second volume. Also, does anyone know if the anime was ever translated into English?

The anime was brought to the use and dubbed if I'm not totally mistaken. I've never read Kare Kano(I'm sorry, but the style just drive me up the wall!!!), but do know somethings about the anime which I considered getting into.

I'm not sure what you mean by any good. If you mean that it was a good story, the reviews I read seemed favorable. But if you're talking about content, there was one major quam I had that I remember reading about. I'll put it in spoiler tags just to be safe

[spoiler=kare kano content]
It is implied that the two main characters have sex. While this is not graphically portrayed from what I understand, it was still enough to turn me point me towards another series. [/spoiler]

That's all I can tell you.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I was talking about the content. I should have been more specific. ^^
Gah, another series that has to have something like that in it. u.u *is sad* I think I'll have to think about whether or not to continue reading it. It seemed like a good story and everything, but still...
Thank you very much for the information. ^_^

yeah the anime was brought to the US. it's called "his and her circumstances" here. personally, i love the series. what mangafanatic said was true though. in the anime isnt graphic about it at all tho, it's more implyed than shown. the manga is a bit more descriptive though. i'm not sure which volume it's in tho.

It's not that bad in the manga, I'm sister has it. Even less in the anime. Otherwise it's not bad at all.
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
