Wallflower Review

An anime about turning Sunako Nakahara into a lady. Ranmaru, Yukinojo, Takenaga, and Kyohei oversee making Sunako’s Aunt, Mine Nakahara’s, dream come true in order to have free rent at Mine’s mansion where they all reside. Though their initial motives aren’t all that pure these four beautiful boys blossom a friendship with Sunako. Comedy is a big part of this anime but it has it’s sweet moments too. If you’re wondering about action that’s also present since Sunako and Kyohei can throw a punch. I like the contrast between the boys and Sunako’s outlook on life. Sunako has the thought process at first that the boys don’t have any problems but as the show moves forward she comes to appreciate their struggles and her mindset evolves. The boys also come to accept Sunako as the gore loving girl she is. The banter between the characters gets the laughs going. All in all Wallflower is undervalued in my opinion. I was really hoping for a second season.

Wallflower has a manga version released in the states though some of the books are hard to get a hold of. I’m personally disappointed that some of the things in the manga aren’t addressed in the anime. But over all the adaption is good. I watch the show on Funimation and as a person who has seen the dub and sub versions, the dub is worth while. It’s also the only option on Funimation right now.
