Synopsis

Reaching a period of life where they are neither a child nor an adult, 12-year-old Hanabi Ayase and Aoi Yui meet with life-changing events. Due to the mischievous demeanor of her male classmates, Ayase does not think highly of the opposite sex. However, her perspective begins to change after she is paired with the kind-hearted Takao Yuuto for a class assignment and unexpectedly shared their first kisses with each other on the school rooftop.

With her best friend discovering love, Aoi yearns to seek her own. She finds herself falling in love with the rash Kazuma Hiyama after protecting her from a rejected suitor who had talked behind her back.

12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki follows the four in this phase of adolescence. As they grow up alongside each other, this sweet romance depicts the innocence and excitement of first love.

Ok look, LA knows this anime isn't for LA's demographic but LA is kinda a sucker for romance anime and LA watched the ONA for this years ago and wanted to see how this would get the full anime treatment that Houkago no Pleiades did.

12-sai follows the relationships of 12 year olds of Hanabi Ayase voiced by Ai Kakuma and Yuuto Takao voiced by Soma Saito as well as Hanabi's friend of Yui Aoi voiced by Juri Kimura and Kazuma Hiyama voiced by Shun Horie and follows their experiences and obstacles in first ...

Recommendation: Skip it unless you have the highest possible tolerance for corniness and overly-sweet sentimentality. This review covers both seasons of the full length anime, not the original short OVAs.

Positives:

+ Sweet and innocent. Red flags may go flying up when you hear it's an anime about 6th graders in love, but there is zero fanservice or sexualization of the characters here. It feels like it was written for the actual demographic it portrays (middle school-aged girls), rather than for otaku voyeurism. Rest assured, there is nothing in this series that could possibly qualify as objectionable or creepy.

+ Convincingly portrays the transition from childhood to ...
