Sakura Diaries tells the story of Touma who wants to go to a prestigious university to be with his dream girl. He fails, but lies about it. He goes to live with his cute cousin Urara while studying at a cram school. It seems though that Urara has feelings for Touma. Sakura Diaries is really much tamer than I expected it to be. While it does have its share of fan service, the show is more about relationships than erotic fun. In that regard Sakura Diaries severely disappoints. Touma is extremely tense and obsessed, tells lies, and performs mindfucks on himself with regularity. Urara, while cute, is pretty one-dimensional and obsessed with Touma. I can't help to think that all the problems that occur in the series might have been avoided if people just talked and listened to each other. In the end you might wonder what actually happened in those 12 episodes, as the resolution is rather unsatisfying.

At times interesting, and at times boring, it took me a while to bring myself to finish this one. I am however glad that I watched it to the end. The story is primarily a romantic story with some sex comedy sprinkled in, though it does contain a slightly more realistic edge that could turn some people off. All the main characters have issues, and a lot of the time I found myself hating Touma (the male lead), though his actions were in character. Sakura Diaries juggles a bunch of real world issues, though most are only touched on briefly. If you looking for a more realistic "love" story with low level romance, and high level character issues you may enjoy Sakura Diaries, though I definitely wouldn't recommend it to everyone.
