From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kure-nai (紅, Kurenai?) is a light novel series by Kentarou Katayama, with illustrations by Yamato Yamamoto. A manga adaptation started serialization in the first issue of Jump Square magazine. An anime adaptation is currently being broadcast.

Story

16-year-old Shinkurou Kurenai, a specialist in settling squabbles between people, is one day approached by the daughter of a powerful plutocratic family asking him to be her bodyguard

 

My Thoughts

 

It's interesting to note that although this series focuses on Kurenai's struggle to become a reliable bodyguard while trying to lead a normal high school life, the story itself is more serious and brutal than what I initially thought it would be. Kuhouin's mature personality is kind of refreshing although not at all surprising taking the fact that she grew up in a rather "gloomy", "serious" environment. Her upbringing must've been really tough for her to handle that is why she "escaped" though I wonder how she managed to do it...maybe it'll be revealed in the later series no?

Murasaki can't help herself but feel cynical towards the things she saw on the television back then with Tamaki because she never got to experienced love and being loved back at all...that's why the outside world seemed too big for her to handle and at times feel alienated with everything else... except for Shinkuro that is...on the other note, she's just too cute to be pitied nor get angry with ne? Her cynism coupled with her blissful ignorance with what the real society is made her all the more fun to watch and surely, that laboratory incident will never be forgotten...poor child!

Although Yuuno is a bit flirtatious towards Shinkuro, I never thought of her bad at all nor with his childhood friend though unfortunately for her, Yuuno already has the advantage over Shinkuro's affection... it's definitely love triangle in the air although I find Shinkuro here at fault since he's just too dense in sensing other peoples' feelings and more often, unintentionally misunderstood all these things! He's sometimes just too pure for his own good don't you think?

Yuuno caught my attention on the 3rd episode...could she be a future foe perhaps? or Shinkuro and Murasaki's destined ally? Though we only saw a little bit of "action" in the last 3 episodes, this Yuuno girl isn't someone to mess with considering that Shinkuro used to live with them and was taught martial arts...Yuuno is definitely one formidable girl to trample with. Overall, my satisfaction level for this animé is still high though I wish there'll be more "action" than just talks in the succeeding episodes to come.
