    Kono was one of my favorite anime in the beginning and middle of the story. I am sad to say that Kono lost its place at around episode 9 or so. It almost seems as though all of the time put into the show was not equally balanced. It would seem as though the creator spent more time trying to perfect even breasts than he did in creating a decent storyline. I was not at all pleased with ending. I felt as though the story could have had consistency if there were more episodes. Both the characters and storyline seemed rushed. The ending could have been decent if the segments ranging from the climax to the denouement had been explained more and not so rushed. Overall, if you're looking for a story with respectable animations, beautiful character designs, and a quick 'I finished this anime!' to add to your list, this may be for you. However, if you're looking for a wonderful storyline and well-developed characters with a nice plot and sequence, you might want to think twice before you decide to pick up or download Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai.
    Characters
    Hikari: The 'authentic' main character of the story, Hikari is torn between love and hate for Takeru, but ultimately chooses to love him. Hikari has orange hair, and dresses sophisticatedly. Takeru found Hikari in the jungle in episode one. Dramatic, extremely attached to Takeru.
    Akari - "Sister" to Hikari, Akari was found by Ryou in episode one. Akari claims to be Ryou and Kimi's (Ryou's blood-sister) sister, but they are not blood-related. Positive.
    Takeru - A sub-character, he has a growing desire for Hikari. Takeru transforms into a creature with extreme strength and agility when he needs to protect Hikari. Humorous.
    Ryou - Takeru's best friend, and brother of Kimi and Akari. Ryou can use psychic abilities, and unlike Takeru, can unleash them whenever he feels the need to. Soft-spoken.
Note: There are more characters, however, for 12 episodes, they play a minor role.
*Shoujo - (Anime)story that tends to be created for the general viewing of women, involving themes such as romance, drama, and comedy.
