Setting

Kazu is the usual student, and in his 14 years old he never really had an interest in girls - until one day he is saved from a weird monster by Narue, who firmly states that given weirdo is an extraterrestrial animal ... extraterrestrial as herself. In love, Kazu decides to approaches and learn more about Narue, which is ignored by most people at school for being so different. And this sweet "Make-you-feel-good" love story starts.

Andamento

Narue no Sekai brings something that is not all common: A couple's relationship as they date and get to know more about each other, and not the usual "love game" to get to confess to your love, so much used and reused in romance titles. This small twist means that Narue no Sekai does not have all that thriller about if Kazu will get to confess or not, or Narue will accept or not, as it starts up already as a couple relationship - but it adds the daily life of two students in love (with the added twist that she is an alien). This might make the title a little too 'mellow' for some, but if you are on to romance, this is your best bet.

Extremely pleasant to watch, focused on those that want to watch captivating characters in a good mood environment and, at the same time, not to worry with an intricate plot or hidden surprises. This is pure romance and "Make-you-feel-good" all the way.

Conclusion

Managing to escape the usual love game of confession, where we get repeating moments of encounters and mistakes until eventually, in the end, we have the all wanted confession, Narue no Sekai show us what happens AFTER that.

When Kazuto meets Nanase - his 'weird' classmate, on that hot summer day, little did he know that in a few hours he would be in love, and to top that, it would be reciprocal.

Narue no Sekai gives us simple and common events of a normal daily life, from early in their dating and onwards. The moments where you get to find a new detail you love about her, the moment you learn more about her tastes and likes/dislikes, and above all, the ever growing relationship, respect and trust between the couple. The confession is not the end as we are used to see in most series or movies, but it's actually the beginning, and there is a lot more content to what starts there than what lead to it.

Filled with excellent and captivating side characters and even a secondary romance, Narue no Sekai is a full dish for all romanticists awaiting for something different and heart warming, and although not really the best call for the action lovers, this is simply ... lovable. This will make you feel good.

The RIGHT title to watch with that RIGHT someone. The ending song express with uttermost perfection the whole tone of the series.

Before one labels a history as cliché, predictable or beaten, think about this: "What really matters is life and how you live it, not the predictability of Death"
