PLOT

• Well-meaning, but socially awkward, Sawako Kuronuma (Mikako Tabe) is nicknamed "Sadako" by her classmates because of her similar hair cut with the main character from the horror movie "Ringu". Her life then takes a turn when Shota Kazehaya (Haruma Miura), the most popular boy in school, falls for her ...
  Sawako Kuronuma has a gloomy appearance and, because of this, is nicknamed "Sadako" by her peers. On the other hand, her personality is bright and caring. Her favorite motto is "do one good thing once a day," but she cares too much about others and cannot express her thoughts. This has made her somewhat of an outcast at school.
  Shota Kazehaya (Haruma Miura) is classmates with Sawako. Unlike Sawako, he is outgoing and popular with all the students. He is even polite with Sawako, which makes Sawako respect him and even admire him.
  Meanwhile, Kazehaya has special feelings towards Sawako. He notices the look of respect that Sawako gives to him and suppresses his own feelings for her. With help from Kazehaya, Sawako gets better at interacting with her classmates and even makes friends with Chizuru Yoshida (Misako Renbutsu) & Ayane Yano (Natsuna Watanabe ).
  This is a happy moment for Sawako as she has friends now that she can talk freely with. But, a strange rumor of her relationship with Chizuru dampens her joy. With the advice of Kazehaya, Sawako is able to maintain her friendships and, in fact, their friendship becomes stronger. Now being able to express her feelings to her friends, Sawako realizes she has special feelings for Kazehaya. During this time, a cute girl named Ume Kurumizawa (Mirei Kiritani), who has been friends with Kazehaya since middle school, appears in front of Sawako and confesses her feelings for Kazahaya and asks for her help ...

PLOT

• The Gist: Highschooler Miku, played by Aoi Morikawa, thinks her life is over when her parents decide to turn their home into a boarding house. Her opinion quickly changes when one of the three new borders is her "fated" man, her classmate Sohei (Yuri Chinen). Miku only knows Sohei is her fated man by the touch of his hand, remembering a time when someone helped her while she was feeling sick at school. Still, sure of this discovery, Miku is determined to make Sohei her boyfriend. That decision is complicated slightly by the entrance of Sohei's longtime girlfriend, Miyuki, portrayed by Fujiko Kojima. Trying to leave the two of them be, Miku turns her attentions towards Sohei's best friend Hayato (Jesse Lewis).  However, Sohei turns out to be a hard man to forget, considering he's living in the room next door. Miku's stuck between the two boys, hoping to find her love without hurting too many people.
• Sprout is the quintessential summer hit, an easy flow of problems that never become to heavy punctuated by glasses of tea and slices of watermelon. Sprout doesn't depend on large shocking events and surprising plot twists to keep the story moving. It really is a feel good drama, whose story is as warm and relaxed as a Japanese summer. That doesn't mean the story is bland, however, but embraces its soft aspects for enjoyable watching.
• Sprout is a good choice if you're looking for something light. It's definitely focused on the romance, with little else to hold your attention. The focus isn't bad, however, and it is good at being the kind of show it is. Warning: if you watch this show in the winter, it will make you pine for the summer.
