Amatsuki


Synopsis
Tokidoki is a Japanese high school student who, when he fails his history class, is sent to a high-tech history museum that virtually recreates the Edo period to do make-up work. However, what was supposed to be a simple school project becomes much more complicated when he's attacked by two supernatural beings known as ''the nue'' and ''the yakou'' and loses the vision in his left eye. After he's saved from the nue by a girl named Kuchiha, he realizes that he's no longer wearing the simulation goggles, and is trapped in the virtual Edo.

Member Review
Amatsuki combines two excellent anime themes, frustrated school student and exciting feudal Japan in an altogether interesting way. Although moving at a slightly slow pace there is plenty of room for plot development. We will just have to see how it turns out for Toki, will he ever return to the 21st Century? Damn unlikely if you ask me.

Definitely worth a look into.

Characters
Tokidoki Rikugou
An easygoing high school student who adapts easily to new surroundings. He loses the vision in his left eye to the nue and yakou and finds himself trapped in a simulation of the Edo period.


Kon Shinonome
A member of Tokidoki's high school who is cool-headed and logical, but has a reputation for getting into fights. He was also attacked by the Nue and Yakou, which left him without the sensation in his right arm, and became trapped in Edo as well. He arrived two years before Tokidoki, and acts as Tokidoki's mentor after his arrival.


Kuchiha
A swordswoman who has some sorta curse living inside her, and as a result, is despised by humans. She saved Tokidoki from the nue. At first, she hates optimistic and naiive people like Tokidoki, but she warms up to him throughout the course of the series. She usually wears her hair in a long ponytail, and has a big appetite.
