Ai Yori Aoshi (藍より青し) is a manga by Kou Fumizuki (文月晃 Fumizuki Kou) released in 1998 on Hakusensha's Young Animal, a magazine for young men. The original manga series ended its run in 2005.
The title is taken from a quote from the Chinese philosopher Xun Zi , Blue comes from indigo, yet is bluer than indigo (青は藍より出でて藍より青し)(青出於藍而勝於藍 in Traditional Chinese). The phrase is used in Japanese to mean that although a person is molded by their teacher they surpass that teacher through their own efforts. The name of the main character, Aoi (葵), may be a reference to this phrase.
Ai Yori Aoshi was made into an anime in 2002 and a video game was released for the PlayStation 2. The anime series was completed when its second season under the title Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi was completed in 2003 (藍より青し ～縁～). The anime was released in North America by Geneon and in Singapore by Odex. The manga was released in English by TOKYOPOP. The visual novel game was released in English for Windows PCs by Hirameki International. Also, a drama CD series was produced, with slight differences in the voicing cast as compared to the anime.
The series is sometimes referred to as a halfway point between a harem anime and a magical girlfriend story. It is also referred to as 'Wasei Rabu Hina (和製ラブひな, 'Japanese Love Hina')' as the story is similar to Love Hina, but in a more traditional Japanese style.
Story
Kaoru Hanabishi appears to be an average university student; in actuality he is the eldest son of Yuji Hanabishi, the head of Hanabishi Zaibatsu, and was set to take over the zaibatsu after his father retired. His mother, Kumi Honjo, and his father never married, and this had made life difficult for both him and his mother. Kaoru's father died when he was five years old. Since then, Yuji's father, grandfather to Kaoru, took Kaoru under his wing and began educating him for the eventual succession. Yet Kaoru never was at home in the Hanabishi family and left to live by himself after his mother died. Day by day he felt alone, with him thinking that he is living a life with no reason pushing him on.
There is, however, someone who loved Kaoru so much that she would do whatever was necessary to be with him.
Her name is Aoi Sakuraba. Aoi is the only daughter of the owner of Sakuraba Kimono Store (later renamed to Sakuraba Department Store). Kaoru's family and Sakuraba's family had agreed for Kaoru to wed Aoi but after Kaoru walked out, the marriage was cancelled. Both families had a friendly relationship and Aoi had been in love with Kaoru from the start, which Kaoru was unaware of. The Sakuraba family had already been searching for someone suitable but Aoi was unwilling to marry someone else and walked out, chasing Kaoru.
Both were freed from their families' affairs but did not know how to make their living. Miyabi Kagurazaki, who had been looking out for Aoi, offered the two a way. Aoi and Miyabi would live together in a grand western style summer house of Sakuraba family and Kaoru would live in a house for servants next to it. This would prevent a scandal, much like the one that had made Kaoru's life difficult, as the two would be living separately. But soon, Kaoru's friends, who just happen to be attractive females, took residence in the house, and it quickly became a dormitory. Very soon, Aoi became a landlady of the dormitory.
The first season ends when Aoi`s father decided to arrange her marriage with another man; she refused, and is locked up. She managed to escape with the help of Miyabi and Aoi spent a day together with Kaoru. Rather than doing what Miyabi expects and eloping they confront her father the next day and managed to get her father to agree to their relationship. Kaoru's best point in his argument with Aoi's father is the fact that after having lost his family and enduring the pain of that loss he does not wish to see the same thing happen to Aoi. Her father grudingly accepts Aoi's choice in order to maintain his relationship with Aoi.
Alternate view of story: Aoi Sakuraba sees that her father is arranging a marrage for her and leaves home in a desprate attempt to revive a failed engagement to Kaoru Hanabishi to whom she had been matched as children. Through some strange twist of fate they meet in a busy train station and without recognizing each other, Kaoru helps her to find her way to the address she thinks Kaoru lives. The address is a mistake and she is heart broken to find it is only an empty lot. Kaoru allows her to come to his apartment for tea and to help gather herself togather. She shows him an old photo of the two of them and they realise that he is the one whom she is looking for. The way they found each other and the kind way Kaoru behaved toward her shows her that she is destined to marry Kaoru and that he is her true love, if there was ever a doubt. Aoi is quite appolgetic about her behavior at the start of the story because what she has done was done in an attempt to enlist others in a plan that would allow her to have her own way. While appearing passive and helpless, she is the one who causes everything to happen.
Characters and seiyū
Enishi
Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi (藍より青し ~縁~) is the second season of an animated television series based on the manga Ai Yori Aoshi. The anime is distributed in DVD format by Geneon in North America. It was originally aired in Japan in 2003. Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi takes place two years after episode one of Ai Yori Aoshi. Kaoru is now a graduate student, and Chika is now a high school student. The other characters are two years further along in the same positions that they were in in Ai Yori Aoshi. Unlike Ai Yori Aoshi, few episodes are centered around developing the relationship of the two leads, Kaoru and Aoi. Instead, the majority of episodes are devoted to slice-of-life episodes for the other characters. However, there are major changes that take place within the series. Many of the later episodes are used to develop Tina Foster's character. The end of the final episode includes brief glimpses at the near-term futures of the show's characters following the series' end. There is a total of twelve episodes in this season which do not completely surround Kaoru and Aoi.
Manga
Besides sharing many similarities in the storyline with the two anime series, the manga also expands on parts not covered in the anime, such as Kaoru's younger brother, and Miyabi's past.
