This is a story of a shy boy named Hayama Takumi and his lover Saki Giichi. Takumi had a secret past that he can't tell anyone about because he is ashamed of it. As a result of this secret past he developed a barrier to keep people away. This barrier seemed very effective since no one came close to him with the exemption of his roommate Toshihisa. Another trait he developed was his reflex to shove people away as soon as they have physical contact with him. These traits will play a significant role in the story and will be manifested through the first and second volume. As Gii comes in the scene, everything will change for Takumi. It is an interesting story of love and understanding.

To all the readers and those who will be interested in it... I will be writing a brief summary of every volume so you will have an idea of how this story is addicting.

Mina-san, Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!!!

AKAI ITO

This is an 11 episode story of love, destiny, friendship, faith and self-control. The story shows the different forms of compensatory mechanisms; how people commonly address the many stresses of life. But what makes this so addicting and interesting is Mei and Atsushi's love story. It revolves around two people born on the same day and year,whose lives were sown together or linked by AKAI ITO (RED THREAD). Even when their fate to be together has been decided, not until the end could they be together. Their love was halted by circumstances, people and various factors. It would have been a tragic love story if they didn't end together at the end of the story, but they did. If only I was a person who sheds tears easily, I would have cried. The story also dealt with how friends are important especially in times when we are so down. True friends will stick with you even in the hard times. Even when everyone else has turned their backs at you, they are still their to stand up for you. True friendship doesn't end after graduation. The story is so heart-warming and full of heart. There were instances that I couldn't predict what would have happened.
