From the first few moments of Wallflower, including the opening, you would be forgiven for mistaking this anime for a pure romance, or even a Shonen-Ai series. But instead, be prepared for a somewhat crazy comedy. Meet Kyohei, Takenaga, Yukinojo and Ranmaru, four very
handsome and popular students, who happen to live in a grand mansion.
Their landlady has given them the task of turning her niece into a ‘proper lady’
with the promise of free rent. Surely something like that couldn’t be so
difficult. |

Enter Sunako, an unsightly girl with frizzy hair, a bad complexion and poor fashion taste, who happens to have a worryingly large interest in horror gore and many other dark things. When she was younger, Sunako was called ugly by a boy she had a crush on, and ever since then, she has shunned away all forms of beauty. So, for the sake of free rent, and out of fear of their landlady, the boys go about trying to get Sunako out of her dishevelled lifestyle and change her into a real woman, but are they brave enough to try and deal with her, or will she kill them first? |

especially potent with Kyohei, who seems to be the only one brave enough to really deal with her, building a distinct love/hate relationship between them (Kyohei seems to like Sunako because he seems to know what she is going through. Sunako simply wants the pleasure of killing him for being so beautiful). That said, the show seems to rely on the same gags throughout the episodes. On the first visit to the school, we are introduced to a group of Ganguro girls who try to curse people who wrong them, which seems to happen quite often. |
