Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo

At Suimei High, Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo unfolds in the notorious Sakura-sou dormitory, a place infamous for housing the school's most notorious delinquents. When the relatively tame Sorata Kanda is transferred there, his first goal is to find a way out of what feels like an insane asylum. For the time being, though, he has to live alongside the dorm's eccentric residents, including bubbly animator Misaki Kamiigusa, charming playboy writer Jin Mitaka, and the ever-reclusive Ryuunosuke Akasaka. Surrounded by that chaos, Sorata often finds respite in his interactions with Nanami Aoyama, his one "normal" friend and an aspiring voice actress. Everything changes when Mashiro Shiina, a new foreign exchange student, joins the dormitory. Sorata is instantly enraptured by her beauty, but Mashiro is an autistic savant whose brilliance in art is matched by her inability to perform simple daily tasks. After Sorata ends up in charge of taking care of Mashiro, the two inevitably grow closer, and his initial desire to escape the dormitory begins to fade. Despite their eccentricities, every resident is extraordinary in their own field, forcing Sorata to contend with his own lack of any particular skill. Surrounded by brilliance, he strives to become an equal to their talent. Balancing the hardships and joys of its colorful cast, Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo is a coming-of-age story of friendship, love, ambition, and heartbreak through the lens of an ordinary person surrounded by the extraordinary.
