Description: Sakura Diaries
Sakura Diaries is one of the most famous of Yujin's works. While it barely has any trademark sex scenes, it still retains the trademark fanservice. There are two versions of this anime: the TV version, which is the general release in America, and the LD Version with even raunchier scenes than what is the Collector's Edition in America.
Sakura Diaries is the story of Touma Inaba, a cram school student trying to get into Keio University. Before the entrance exam, he meets Mieko Yotsuba and it's love at first sight (for Touma anyway). They both take the exam with Mieko passing and Touma flunking. Rather than disappoint her, Touma lies saying he passed. So Touma now has to go to cram school for another year, make Mieko think that he's studying in Keio, and hope his new roommate and cousin Urara Kasuga, who's in love with him, doesn't spill the beans.
