I started watching this anime since last year and have just finished it recently (24 episodes)
It is better to read the manga before watching the anime since the animation is always shorter.
But both are really worth reading and watching!!!
I fell for the main lead(male) character, Elias Ainsworth. His origin is unknown till the end of the anime (with only a few clues such as he was a failed experiment). He does not have emotions, but since he bought Chise at an auction, he learnt a lot about humans and feelings.
For me I like how sweet they are together.
He looks scary but once you get to know him, he is different
(Really love the both of them)
Chise sold herself at an auction as she had lost the will to live, always thinking that she was the reason her family fell apart and her mother killed herself, she kept blaming herself and ended up selling herself, no longer living, luckily Elias found her first!)
Her father and little brother just disappeared, living her with her mom. Her mom was also like her, but it wasnt her fault that her mom eventually took her own life)
(This is the house they live in, really love it. It is like my dream home now. With ample space, fresh air, beautiful flowers, I couldnt ask for more)
The soundtrack for this anime was just so nice!!
Performed by Junna, the opening theme song entitled "Here" was just so moving and emotional.
The other songs were also great, but Junna's song was just great.
I really recommend watching this anime, great characters and great songs.
Though the anime was quite confusing, such as some of the characters just appeared and then disappeared, I would really like to know more about them or what happened to them after that, but overall it is still a great anime!
Enjoy the show!!
