Petopeto-san
Synopsis:
In the rural town of Ayukawa, humans live side by side with monsters of different races. Though they appear to be human, these monsters have special characteristics such as the abilities to change shapes, to grow claws, to blend into walls and many others. Hatoko, nicknamed Petoko, is one such monster from the Petopeto race; she has an unfortunate tendency to, quite literally, stick to those who make contact with her. One day, she sticks to a boy named Shingo as he tries to stop her falling into a pool. During their enforced togetherness, Shingo begins to like her, but Petoko worries about whether she - as a perfectly designed trap for male humans - can ever be truly loved...

add recFigure 17 and Petopeto-san don't seem overtly similar at first glance, but I immediately thought of Figure 17 when watching Petopeto. Both are very slow-paced, quiet tales with children who must handle everyday life with supernatural elements. Call it a gut feeling if you must, but I definitely think if you liked one, you'd like the other.

Saio Private High School has a long tradition of quality education; however, like many with other schools in this not to far away future its enrollment is falling and its tradition is failing. School is no longer a necessity in the path to quality employment and for that reason, many teenagers are choosing to skip it entirely; this is not the case with the newly transferred Manabi. She may be a whirlwind of humor and vision with her motto of go straight forward, but Manabi has the drive to bring the students of this small school both a new understanding of its purpose, and possibly a new joy in life.

add recPlot-wise these shows have little in common: Petopeto-san is a romance with some mild fantasy elemnts, Manabi Straight! is a light comedy set in high school. What I loved about both shows, however, were the absolutely adorable characters and the feelgood storylines, which put a huge smile on my face. As such, if you got joy from one of these two, then the other may provide more of the same.
