Glad we get to see backstory for Shiena here since she was basically ignored in the anime.

Man, there's quite a lot of hints about everyone's backstory, if you know what to look for!

Agreed, it was such a shame.

Planning to watch the anime of AnR, but would love to hear your opinions about it. Is the manga or the anime better? Apart from the art, what else is good? Is the actual story enticing? And of course, is there actual Yuri?

Thanks.

Sorry guys Idk how to spoiler this??
The manga is better coz better explanation and better storyline. The anime seems rushed and they cut many interesting scenes from the manga. But I gotta say the action is great and the graphics are awesome. If you've watched Kannazuki no Miko I'd say they have more yuri than this lol. They have a BD extra drama CD with Isuke and Haruki, Banba and Hanabusa that they didn't show in the anime.. what a fucking joke

but imo I like the anime more since they are moving lol

holyyoong: thank you. Your reply was really insightful. I don't think I'm gonna be watching the anime anytime soon, although the animation might be god-send, I want to be able to enjoy the plot more. The comparison of the yuri bits with KnM was a good one too, now I kind of know what to expdct.

from 4chan:

Haru's Diary.

Ep1
O Month X Day

Black Class has started today. I'm Ichinose Haru.
I want to keep writting this diary until the day I graduate!
Have to declare this first or I will start neglecting half-way in!

Until now, because of circumstances, I rarely could come to school,
so for me to be able to become a member of this class, I was very happy
Today, the very first day at school, was very exciting.
I was able to give everyone in class the matching straps that I had given my all to make!

And then, my first time living in a dorm.
My roommate is Azuma Tokaku-san.
Tokaku-san is the dorm leader and also a beauty.
She's like a boy, and it looked like she was angry for some reason.
Before sleeping, she asked me about something that looked like a riddle...
I wonder what the answer was??

I hope we can get along.
I hope she won't hate me when she find out about me.

No matter what happens, Haru will definitely graduate.

Ep2
O Month X Day

Today, all the members of 10th Year Black Class has gathered.
Including Haru, there're 13 people.

I was thinking of eating lunch on the rooftop's garden,
and found out that it was indeed a very good spot!
Also, I bought the school's famous mini melon bread!
I offered one to Tokaku-san but she said she didn't want it...
Tokaku-san is cold but she's protecting Haru. I wonder why.

Tonight, in Haru and Tokaku-san's room, room no.1, we had a tea party

Isuke-san brought some nice tea,
and I listened to her talk about her papa and mama,
the origin of her name...

For Haru, the Black Class is my final exam.
Together with Tokaku-san, I definitely won't lose!

Ep3
O Month X Day

I saw a very fun dream today!
A dream where mother made me a lot of donuts and melon breads
I was so happy~
But then Tokaku-san suddenly woke me up!

After that, for the first time, I properly talked with Takechi-san.
Takechi-san was very cheerful, and she said she wanted to get along with Haru,
she mailed me in the middle of class,
she has same taste in food as me, and our birthday is just one day apart,
There sure were lots of coincidences, I was happy!
Like Kirigaya-san said, looks like this is called [Law of similarity]?!

But when I told Tokaku-san about it she got angry...
Even though she might really want to get along with Haru.

Even though, if everyone all thought like that, no one would have to die and we could all graduate.

Ep4
O Month X Day

3rd day of the regular test, it's finally over!
Everyday, aiming for the 100 mark, Haru has worked hard!

That said, even if I studied, I couldn't smoothly solve all the problems alone...

Kaminaga-san is awesome! Kaminaga-san is the Black Class' class rep.
The problem that Haru couldn't understand, she easily solved it for me!

I thought she was unsociable,
but she put the strap Haru gave her on her pencil box,
maybe she really is a very good person!
I want to get along with her.

And then, Nio told me about the seven mysteries of Myoujyou academy.

Among them, I'm intersted in the [The library's forbidden book] story,
so I forcefully told Tokaku-san to sneak into the library at midnight together.

Ep5
O Month X Day

This month, we're going to have a school festival!
The Black Class has decided to do the [Romeo and Juliet] play.

Mizorogi-sensei has put his all into writing the script,
he was quite cute (lol)

I thought glasses wearing people is quite but in truth,
Shiena-chan is a hot temper producer, I was quite surprised,
I look foward to the play.

Haru has worked hard to make the props
Haruki-san is very strong!
She ended up helping me a lot.

After working so hard, I went to the big bath with Tokaku-san~
When I was a little too cheerful , she got angry again.
Tokaku-san gets angry easily, but maybe she's saying all that for Haru's sake??

Ep6
O Month X Day

Finally, the school festival is today!

Haru plays Mercutio and Tokaku-san plays Tybalt!
In the play, Haru is killed by Tokaku-san,
but in reality, Tokaku-san will surely protect Haru.
Somehow, this casting makes me feel uneasy.

Shiena-chan got very angry with me during the rehearsal,
but after I tried on the costume and got praised by Hanabusa-san and Tokaku-san,
I was happy.

In commemoration, everyone tooks photos together

However, I lost the script book so I have to go find it with Tokaku-san,
if I couldn't find it I would lose my entire lunch money for a week so I definitely have to find it!
I wonder if tomorrow will go well? So nervous...

School festival! Haru's looking foward to it!

Ep7
O Month X Day

Today, we went to the school's pool that Shuto-san found.
Not the one used in class, but the kind of pool that even has water slider!
There're even different types of swimsuits prepared,
it didn't feel like I was in school anymore.

Banba-san, Shinya-chan was quite funny wearing school swimsuit~
I'm going to laugh remembering it (lol)
Haru understands her feeling though because I also wanted to try wearing a normal swimsuit

But before we got to enjoy the pool,
suddenly, Shuto-san started that game...

When the game was nearly over,
my heart was beating very fast
However, Tokaku-san was protecting Haru,
Haru believes that Haru won't die so it's all okay!

Also, about Shuto-san's story,
it's kind of weight on my mind.

To Haru, there were lots of precious person who has protected Haru until now,
but Shuto-san's precious person...
is Tokaku-san the same as him... I wonder?

Ep8
O Month X Day

It can't be helped that the number of classmates has to decrease,
I understand it,
but recently, it has become really lonely.

Sometime, it feels like only Haru and Tokaku-san are left.
Ah, but unsually, today, we met Shinya-san in the commune bath.
I wonder if Nio and Hanabusa-san don't use this bath?
It feels good in the huge bath after all, maybe I should invite them sometime.

Also, today Tokaku-san asked me [Aren't being alive and graduating from Black Class your dream?].
What was that? Of course they are but...

What's about Tokaku-san?
If she hadn't protected Haru, what would her wish be?
What will Tokaku-san do after Black Class ends..
I was bothered and asked her but she brushed it off.

Looks like a typhoon is coming tomorrow.
Somehow, I have an uneasy feeling.

Ep9
O Month X Day

Sight, today was so tiring.

I never thought just thinking about not being able to meet Tokaku-san anymore would be this painful.

Always besides me,
Always get angry for me,
Always worry about me,
Always protect me when I'm in danger, and yet today,
that Tokaku-san said [It's thanks to you, Haru] and smiled at me.

We're not being cursed,
we're being protected.

Haru has to smile.

Ep10
O Month X Day

At last, only 4 people, Nio, Tokaku-san, Hanabusa-san,
and Haru were left in Black Class.
That envelope I got from Hanabusa-san was the advanced notice!? or so I thought,
it actually was an invitation to a tea party.

But to think Hanabusa-san had such a secret...
Haru.. has done it..
It was scary.
But this time, I didn't just rely on Tokaku-san,
for a little bit, I was able to protect myself on my own.. I think..?

Somehow, it can't be helped,
I'm always protected by Tokaku-san and yet,
I cannot tell her the truth, such complicated feeling.

The riddle that Hanabusa-san gave Tokaku-san...
[Why do the worker bee and the rabbit resemble each other?]

Tokaku-san, when I am allowed to, I will tell you.
I'm sorry.

Ep11
O Month X Day

Today, the True Orientation was held,
and the purpose and meaning of Black Class were revealed.

Things that I feel like I understand and things that I feel like I didn't...

Black Class is not about killing Haru...?
Haru just wants to live normally and yet.

Haru wonders what did Tokaku-san feel when she gave me that.
What is the meaning behind Tokaku-san and Haru's meeting?

Mom, and all the people that have protected Haru up until now, maybe they didn't protect me because they loved me.
For them, Haru has decided to live with a smile on her face but...

Somehow, my head is a mess today, not good

Ep12
O month X day

Today is the last entry for this diary.

So long and yet so short, the 10th year Black Class.

Haru has been protected by Tokaku-san.
Haru has received the advanced notice from that same Tokaku-san.

But Haru knew,
if she had betrayed Haru then she would have never done something like that.

Up until now in the 10th year Black Class, even though there were a lot of troubles,
getting to meet all the classmates,
and of course to meet Tokaku-san,
and also getting to think a lot about myself,
I have made lots of memories.

It's lonely to end this diary today,
but it will be great if someday I can go back to read it and remember about everyone.

Attendance number 1, Azuma Tokaku.
No.2, Inukai Isuke-san. No.3, Kaminaga Kouko-san.
No.4, Kirigaya Hitsugi-san. No.5, Kenmochi Shiena-san.
No.7, Shuto Suzu-san. No.8, Takechi Otoya-san.
No.9 Namatame Chitaru-san. No.10, Hashiri Nio-san.
No.11, Hanabusa Sumireko-san. No.12, Banba Mahiru?Shinya-san.

No.13, Ichinose Haru-san.

Thank you everyone.

And then, everything started today. Everything between Haru and Tokaku-san^^

Just gonna leave this here. If anyone knows respond at any time.

The anime finished on somewhat of a final notice. So if someone knows whether the manga goes past that or not please let me know in some way.

E- eh? When that happened - month or so? - we replaced them by her request, so there shouldn't be any need to now. Chapter 8 checks out fine, so the others should as well. If you notice we're missing one though, please do point it out. (Otherwise, I'll double-check them when I get a chance.)

Kenmori never says anything about liking Chitaru, didn't she?

Yeah, but in ch.22 there was a part where she got mesmerized by Chitaru and she blushed. It could be just a moment of admiration since Chitaru looks great as Romeo, but either way loli-chan was still jealous and thought Kenmochi love Chitaru.
