Based on a hit manga by Obana Miho, the shojo anime series KODOCHA offers a charming chronicle of childhood friendships and rivalries told through a girl`s point of view. The series centers around Sana Kurata, the precocious 11-year-old child star of a popular television show who nonetheless attends grade school as a normal student. But Sana`s attempt at normalcy is threatened by the juvenile antics of school bully Akito Hayama, who leads the classroom`s boys in a distracting campaign of chaos and mayhem. With the help of the girls in her class and her slick, show-biz manager Rei, Sana launches an all-out battle of the pre-teen sexes that yields moments of goodnatured hijinks as well as unexpected romance. Sweet and funny with a strong emphasis on relationships, the comedy anime kicks off with this first volume of episodes.
