Ai Yori Aoshi
A stunning but confused girl wearing a kimono was encountered by Kaoru Hanabishi, a college student who lives alone. He offered to show her the route to the address she was seeking, which appeared to be in his neighborhood but was actually a vacant lot. Not knowing what to do, Kaoru persuaded the unhappy girl to come to his apartment and asked for another hint: a picture of two kids, one of which was Kaoru and the other was his childhood buddy Aoi Sakuraba. Aoi Sakuraba, his betrothed fiancée who traveled all the way to Tokyo to marry him, turned out to be the girl standing in front of him. Not only did her disclosure come as a shock to Kaoru, but it also brought back the strongest memories of why he had first left the Hanabishi family.
