Plot
The story revolves around four teens—the good-looking twins Yūta and Yūki Asaba, the effeminate Shun Matsuoka, and the class head Kaname Tsukahara—who have known each other since early childhood. While they are not necessarily good or bad friends, they continue to hang out well into high school. The half-Japanese transfer student Chizuru Tachibana joins the circle of friends in this comedy about the everyday life of adolescence. It does not have any romance or flamboyant fantasy, but it is light-hearted humorous story about high school friends and attachment. Friendship forms because this group loves each other's company even with all their different personalities or perspective. Yūta and Yūki are known for giving everyone a hard time but usually mean no harm, Shun with his elegant behavior, Kaname with his hot temper, and Chizuru with his fun loving side make up this anime about adolescence.
Kimi to Boku. began its serialrun inFebruary 2003 in the shōnenmanga magazine Gangan Powered and moved to Monthly GFantasy in 2009. Fifteen compilation volumes have been published by Square Enix.
