Kimikiss Pure Rouge is a classic romantic-drama anime series produced by Sunrise and directed by Kenichi Kasai. The show premiered on MBS in 2007 and ran for 24 episodes. The series features a talented voice cast including Mamiko Noto as Mao Mizusawa, Ami Koshimizu as Yuumi Hoshino, Kaori Mizuhashi as Asuka Sakino, Satoshi Hino as Kouichi Sanada, Haruna Ikezawa as Eriko Futami, Rie Tanaka as Nana-san, and Takahiro Mizushima as Kazuki Aihara.

The story is set in a fictional high school, where the students are trying to navigate through their teenage years, focusing on their love lives and academic success. The main protagonist, Kouichi Sanada, is a kind-hearted and cheerful teenager who has just transferred to the high school. Kouichi soon finds himself drawn to Yuumi Hoshino, a talented girl who is known for her academic achievements. However, Yuumi has a crush on their homeroom teacher, Kazuki Aihara, who also happens to be Kouichi's childhood friend.

Meanwhile, another love triangle starts to develop between Kouichi, his childhood friend Mao Mizusawa, and Eriko Futami, a popular and outgoing girl who is also Mao's best friend. Mao harbors feelings for Kouichi but never confesses, instead encouraging him to pursue a relationship with Yuumi. Eriko, on the other hand, tries to win Kouichi's heart by teasing him and being playful — which leads to some awkward situations. As the school year progresses, the relationships between these characters get more complicated, and their emotions are put to the test.

In addition to these core characters, Kimikiss Pure Rouge explores the love lives of many other students, each with their own unique struggles. Asuka Sakino, the captain of the school's softball team, loves playing matchmaker for her friends but can't seem to find love herself. Kazuki Aihara, the homeroom teacher, is caught in a moral dilemma when he realizes that he has feelings for Yuumi who happens to be one of his students. Nana-san, a mysterious girl who appears to be a bit older than the rest of the cast, is the owner of a local cafe and advises the characters on their love lives.

Throughout the series, Kimikiss Pure Rouge explores a variety of themes. It touches upon the complexities of teenage love, the importance of communication and honesty in relationships, and the struggles of letting go of unrequited love. The show also highlights the challenges of navigating through high school life, which can be daunting and confusing for many teenagers.

The animation of the series is crisp and vibrant, with character designs that capture the essence of each character. The show features a soundtrack that is both emotional and memorable, with an opening theme song that is upbeat and catchy. The voice acting is top-notch, with each actor bringing their character to life with nuance and emotion.

In conclusion, Kimikiss Pure Rouge is a must-watch for fans of romantic anime who enjoy a good love triangle. With its well-developed characters, engaging storyline, and relatable themes, the series is a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences.
