The Dog and I Secret Service

Even though Ririchiyo is capable of taking
care of herself, Miktsukami wants to do
everything for her

I just finished a hilarious and romantic shounen called Inu x Boku Secret Service and I absolutely love it!  It’s amazing! The story is sweet, the characters are interesting and lovable, and it managed to make me both cry and laugh. I haven’t read the manga and I probably won’t since I’m very satisfied with the alternative ending the anime provided. The anime is 12 episodes and covers up to volume 3 of the manga, and in case you’re curious the manga is ongoing with 9 volumes in Japan and 6 volumes scanlated. Anyway, let’s begin:

The lovely elite Ririchiyo Shirakin is moving into the Maison de Ayakashi, better known as the Ayakasikan, a high security apartment building for humans with demon(youkai) ancestors. Each resident is provided with their own Secret Service bodyguard, who are also human’s with demon blood. Ririchiyo has moved in wanting solitude and independence, but when she arrives she’s greeted by SS agent Miketsukami Soushi. She tells him to leave, that she doesn’t need him, but Soushi’s dog-like devotion to her leads to her relenting and accepting him as her bodyguard.

Now Ririchiyo wanted to be alone because she’s scared of hurting her others, because she wants to break her bad habit of lashing out at people with her vicious tongue, because she wants to communicate better with others. Despite her bad habit, Miketsukami seems to always notice her true feelings and he claims that he’s known her for years. Who Mitetsukami behind his puppy-like demeanor?  Their relationship is both comedic and touching, and their days at Ayakasikan with lazy Renshou, lolicon Nobara, sadist-masochist-obsessed Kagerou, glutton Karuta, “super-delinquent” Watanuki, and mischievous Natsume.

It’s a great anime and I highly recommend it to older teens, 16+. Some of the stuff Kagerou and Nobara say are probably not appropriate for younger people. But hey, if you read lolicon, sadist, and masochist, then you’ll probably be okay. Anyway, every character has their own ending, depending on the episode you’ll get a different ending. I’d personally avoid Kagerou, no matter what age. From the pieces I’ve seen it’s pretty weird. And remember that the episode isn’t over when the ending begins, there’s usually 4 or so minutes after it and if you don’t watch the next episode usually won’t flow as well. Alright, bye-bye
