My Clueless First Friend

Akane Nishimura is a young school girl who is shunned by her classmates who refer to her as a 'grim reaper' and claim to talk to her is to invite being cursed. She has grown used to a fairly solitary existence but all that is about to change. New boy, Takada Taiyou, isn't put off by her reputation. In fact he thinks she is cool because she is a grim reaper, even after she points out that she can't curse people or do anything the others claim. Over the course of the series she is drawn out of her shell; as well as befriending Takada she gets closer to several other classmates too.

I found this series to be rather fun is a really charming way. The central characters are great. Akane accepting what life throws at her and Takada being an innocent who doesn't even realise the other class members are saying things to Akane to be mean. The character designs nicely suit the characters and the animation is good. The characters develop nicely as the series progresses. Overall a delightful slice of life series that I'd recommend to fans of the genre.
