Choyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi

Here is another fantastic anime series that I now adore. Kei Sugita wrote and illustrated a historical manga known as "Uta Koi," which serves as the basis for a series that interprets romantic poems from the anthology book "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu" with romance and a touch of comedy. You know, I really hate Saadakira. I couldn't comprehend why such a vicious brat would detest a girl like Yasuko for no apparent reason.

After watching the first five episodes, it was difficult to choose which of the couples shown in the series I loved the most. I gradually chose Yukihara and his wife, Hiroko, from episode one. They thought the connected poetry was wonderful. Here it is: "Though I may leave for Mt. Inaba, famous for the pines covering its peak, if I hear you pine for me, I'll come straight home to you." I also love Ko no Naishi and Michitaka from episode seven. Overall, this series appeals to me as a hopeless romantic (and poetry lover).
