Kotoura-san - Anime Review

A school love comedy. Kotoura Haruka is a 15-year-old girl who can read people's minds. She has been suffering from troubles caused by her mind-reading ability, and her parents got divorced as a result. She moves to a new high school but tries to keep away from her classmates. Manabe Yoshihisa, one of her classmates, accepts and appreciates her ability and she begins to interact with her friends with his help.

I loved the take on the whole mind reading thing, I haven't come across this way of doing it before. Kotoura-San is born with this power and to her its just a normal thing that people do, she doesn't understand why people say one thing and think something else. She also can't understand why people get angry if she points out what there really thinking.
 
For example there is a part where her dad says he's got a business meeting, and she points out that he's not really going to a meeting but seeing a woman in a hotel....she just doesn't know these things aren't meant to be said.
 
Due to this people hate her even her own mother (who is a total cow) hates her, her parents disown her and her grandpa takes her in...he is a mega pervert, in a light hearted way? its really weird but this is meant to be funny ( I cant get my head around this humor) 
 
She ends up in another new school but one boy Manabe goes out of his way to make her feel welcome and new friendships form.
 
I loved this story but while it was awesome, it just could of been more..I think it was the ending that let it down. I liked the whole mystery part and found it really interesting and the comedy was great. The beginning was so intense it would of been hard to keep it at that level. Overall its defiantly worth you time but goes downhill towards the end.
 
I was just itching for more
 
 
 
 
Both the comedy and drama is done so well in the anime.
