His and Her Circumstances (Kareshi Kanojo no Jij�, or KareKano for short) is a Shoujo manga by Masami Tsuda. It originally ran in LaLa from 1996 to 2005.Yukino Miyazawa is a gifted high school student lauded by classmates and teachers. This apparent brilliance, however, is mainly used as a means to garner praise. At home, Yukino is spoiled and slovenly.When a new student, Soichiro Arima, proves himself the equal of Yukino, her narcissistic edifice is threatened with collapse, so she begins to plot Arima's downfall, whilst maintaining an air of friendship with him. A chance encounter leads Arima to discover Yukino's secret and romance begins to blossom as they both learn to just be themselves, as hard as that turns out to be.The manga was adapted by Studio Gainax and J.C. Staff to an anime series, which first aired on TV Tokyo from 1998 to 1999 for 26 episodes and was directed by Hideaki Anno of Evangelion fame. It was Gainax's first TV series to adapt an existing manga by an outside creator. note The studio had earlier produced or co-produced several OAV manga adaptations, and the Evangelion manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto debuted before the TV series. The anime began as a faithful adaptation of the manga, if somewhat quirkier in style. Halfway through, the anime's story goes in a completely different direction from the manga, which eventually led to an inconclusive ending. Tsuda herself was notably disappointed by the anime. The disputes, among other things, led Anno to step down as series director after episode 15 (his replacement was Gainax producer Hiroki Sato), although he wrote eight of the remaining episodes. Meanwhile, the manga continued for several more years, exploring the several parallel lives of supporting characters, as well as the main characters' pasts (and even their families' pasts), finally concluding with its 21st volume.Compare and contrast Mars (1996), which similarly follows a couple whose relationship helps both individuals confront and deal with their personal insecurities and past trauma, albeit in much more melodramatic fashion. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: This skates a rather thin line, but during Soichiro's darkest time (when Ryoko resurfaces in his life), he forced himself on Yukino. He sees the act as rape, but when he tells that to Yukino (who was rather unperturbed by the whole thing) she is confused and replies that it wasn't, because she didn't refuse him either by saying no or pushing him away. (Paraphrased: "I only told you to wait, but I didn't tell you to stop!") | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Arima family suffered from a continuing cycle of abuse and heartache. Reiichirou, Souichiro's grandfather and Soji and Reiji's father, was horribly physically abused by his own father because his father couldn't stand how beautiful he was. Reiichirou as a result was disconnected emotionally and abused his own children emotionally. Eiko as a result became a bitter and angry person, but Soji managed to rise above it and become a better man. Reiichirou later connected with another woman, where Reiji was conceived, but harassment from the Arima family caused the woman to attempt murder-suicide with Reiji, destroying the boy emotionally. Finally, Souichiro was emotionally stunted because of physical and emotional abuse he suffered from his biological mother Ryoko, and from the isolation he felt from the Arima family, who hated him because of Reiji. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Both Soji and Eiko spent a better part of their childhood trying to win their father over by being overachievers and excelling in school and extracurricular activities. But Reiichirou would only greet their accomplishments with scorn, and Soji stopped caring after a while. Eiko however was emotionally crushed by her father's repeated rejection and became a very bitter person as an adult. Made all the more tragic by the fact that Reiichirou was proud of his children and loved them, but couldn't properly express it to them. It was also implied that Reiichirou recognized that they only pushed themselves to excel just to please him, which he thought was ridiculous. Soichiro's motives for being an over achieving student was trying to make up for what he thought was the burden he bought on his aunt and uncle and he simply wanted to give back the care they gave him by being successful. His aunt and uncle could care less about any such idea and just want Soichiro to be happy. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Multiple cases: Seems to be a pattern for Miyazawa fathers with daughters. Hiroyuki had physical fights with Yukinos grandfather and resorted to elope with his wife (and even gets scorned till today). The ever-perfect Arima also faces quite some issues with Hiroyuki himself, despite them being a lot less extreme. When Yukino teases Arima in the last chapter about Sakura marrying one day, he instantly gives a Big "NO!", causing her to remind him of this tendency in her family. Specifically interesting about this is that so far, the fathers have apparently always married into the family, rather then being born into it. So instead of it being a trait of Miyazawa males, it could rather be that the Miyazawa women share a certain taste for possessive men. Soji is very protective of Soichiro. He doesn't take physical action, but he defies his family multiple times whenever they bully his son. He also protects and spoils Reiji from their sister as well as other bullies and it is explicitly stated that he was more of a father than an older brother to Reiji. Reiji turns out to be one. He at first seems to be uncaring, selfish and aloof, but the moment Soichiros abusive mother appears, he literally takes out a gun and attempts to murder her for Soichiros sake. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Asaba Hideaki, resident Chivalrous Pervert and Arima's extremely supportive best friend. It's not until the very last tankobon that the reader finds out about his awful relationship with his Jerkass family and the loneliness it brings. Reiichirou Arima, Eiko and Soji's father, comes off as an emotionless bastard to his family. Not only does he have frequent affairs on his wife, to the point where she demands a divorce and ditches the children, but he shows no interest in his children's accomplishments. Whenever Eiko or Soji would talk to him about their good grades or general activities, instead of praising their accomplishments he would admonish them for showing joy over insignificant things. However, it was revealed that he suffered monstrous abuse from his own father for no other reason than the fact that he was beautiful. His whole body was covered in scars from the abuse, and it left him emotionally stunted. It turns out he really did love his children all along, but he didn't know how to express the love he felt for them because of the abuse he'd suffered and instead ending up hurting them with his emotionless nature, and he in turn resented them for his inability to express himself. | |

Older Than They Look | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Tsubasa, who at fifteen was confused with a middle-schooler by her younger stepbrother. Kazuma and Tsubasa in the distant finale. They still look like they did in high school. And Yukino's parents, who don't look they're nearing 40. When Soiichiro meets his biological father, you wouldn't guess that the latter is at least double as old. It turns ridiculous when it is said in the last chapter that grown-up Soiichiro now looks exactly like his father, considering that Soiichiro actually looking like an adult in stark contrast to what Reiji looked like during his appeareance. | |

Becoming the Mask: Yukino wore her mask of perfection for so long that even when she decided not to put on a fake persona anymore, she discovered that her true personality had become like the mask just less perfect. Arima also wore a mask of perfection, and a few more under the first one. This became an issue in later chapters because the stress of it was slowly destroying his life socially and emotionally. | |

Two-Faced: Yukino is this at the beginning, but grows out of it. Soichiro deals with it for most of the manga. Interesting in the fact that while Yukino's dual life is played for laughs, Soichiro's is much more nightmare fuel and causes him to be wildly self-destructive. | |

Adaptation Distillation: As with Kodocha, the anime team blended in enough screwball comedy to keep the romantic aspects from getting too saccharine. Masami Tsuda, however, was less than pleased with the result. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
In episode 11 of the anime, when Yukino begins to think of people she's met in the past to compare another person to, a quick use of the freeze-frame feature on one's DVD player reveals images of Misato, Kaji, Asuka, Shinji, Rei, and Toji, amongst others. (There's also a Creator Cameo of Hideaki Anno himself.) Then later on when she's taunted by the president of a rival class, an imaginary segment has her she growing to the size of a building and looking and sounding very much like a berserk EVA. | |

Author Appeal: Not very noticeable at first, but by the end of the manga, the story was slewing from one story the author wanted to tell to another – trouble was, they were only tangentially related to the main characters the readers cared about. | |

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_6c87dbef | comment |
Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: While subject to a Discretion Shot, it's made perfectly clear that, when Arima is struggling with his own feelings of inferiority as well as his feelings towards Yukino, he takes matters into his own hands, so to speak, to relieve the emotional pressure. This contrasts with later, when, after his mother re-enters his life, Arima forces himself onto Yukino. | |

Cannot Spit It Out: Reiji reveals to Soji at one point that despite his cold nature, their father Reiichiro really does love him but can't ever say it because he always ends up saying the wrong thing to Soji. Eiko also implies that Reiichiro wants her to become what she wants instead of a doctor as she only wants to be one to impress him. He says it so harshly though that it still makes her run out in tears. | |

| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_6fca80fd | comment |
Oblivious Mockery: Reiichiro, the father of Soji and Reiji, is hinted at not understanding that his dismissive attitude towards his children is incredibly hurtful. One obvious example is when he shuns Eiko's dreams of becoming a doctor, and simply asks "What?" when she flees the room in tears. The fact that he probably actually tried to encourage her to follow what she wants to do instead of trying to impress him makes it almost a bit heartbreaking. | |

Denser and Wackier | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: The anime's sense of humor is this in comparison to the manga, being a lot more zany and using more exaggerated facial expressions (particularly in episodes that Hiroyuki Imaishi worked on). The anime itself starts out as a fairly faithful adaptation that's just a bit quirkier in style, but it eventually gets to the point that the over-the-top comedy overtakes the story's more dramatic elements as the main focus. This became a point of contention between Masami Tsuda and Hideaki Anno, since Tsuda felt that the anime was putting too much emphasis on the comedy to her liking. | |

Sexy Discretion Shot: Both in the manga and anime, when Yukino and Arima consummate their relationship, the imagery goes into a bunch of metaphorical scenes including them as young children.

Abusive Parents: Arima's biological mother Ryouko's entire relationship with Arima was a constant cycle of abuse and neglect. She would beat him constantly when they were together and lock him alone in their apartment for long periods of time, only to return later and typically beat him more. Arima was constantly sick or starving and stated that he mainly survived off of stale bread. The very last interaction he had with his mother before being taken away was her coming home after a long absence to merely check if he had died yet before leaving again. | |

Big "NO!" | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Seems to be a pattern for Miyazawa fathers with daughters. Hiroyuki had physical fights with Yukinos grandfather and resorted to elope with his wife (and even gets scorned till today). The ever-perfect Arima also faces quite some issues with Hiroyuki himself, despite them being a lot less extreme. When Yukino teases Arima in the last chapter about Sakura marrying one day, he instantly gives a Big "NO!", causing her to remind him of this tendency in her family. Specifically interesting about this is that so far, the fathers have apparently always married into the family, rather then being born into it. So instead of it being a trait of Miyazawa males, it could rather be that the Miyazawa women share a certain taste for possessive men. | |

Informed Attribute: Yukino mentioned Arima’s ‘traditionally narrow eyes’ as one of his features she finds attractive. Due to the Mukokuseki art style, the audience have no way of seeing this. The audience DOES get treated to a picture of Arima with half-closed eyes though which is probably the closest way of making him look asian. | |

Shout-Out | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The anime has quite a few references to Neon Genesis Evangelion, which isn't surprising since both series were directed by Hideaki Anno: In episode 1, Yukino is shown hunched over holding something in her palms, in a pose that is virtually a carbon copy of Rei when she holds Lilith's egg. In the same episode J. S. Bach's "Air" is playing in the background at one point (a piece used in Evangelion). Little wonder that both series were scored by Shiro Sagisu. In episode 11 of the anime, when Yukino begins to think of people she's met in the past to compare another person to, a quick use of the freeze-frame feature on one's DVD player reveals images of Misato, Kaji, Asuka, Shinji, Rei, and Toji, amongst others. (There's also a Creator Cameo of Hideaki Anno himself.) Then later on when she's taunted by the president of a rival class, an imaginary segment has her she growing to the size of a building and looking and sounding very much like a berserk EVA. Then in episode 23, as Yukino gets on a bicycle with Arima, she starts the process with a close-up on Yukino's eyes (ala Shinji), and says "Unit One", ala Evangelion. In general, there are a lot of stylistic choices extremely reminiscent of Eva in the anime, including a lot of elements from the last two episodes (original airing), such as spotlights on characters contemplating their situation and digesting their misfortunes, and even a Clip Show on episode 14 (as in Eva), except it carried over to the first half of ep. 15 in Kare Kano. In Episode 11, Tsubaki and Aya play a prank on Tsubasa by telling her they saw a Totoro doll walking by. | |

Eiko, Arima's aunt, also applies, though it is later explained that she had a difficult family life which is why she resents her brother (Arima's adoptive father Shoji) and his family so much. | |

Nightmare Face: If this were a horror series, the faces Yukino makes while chasing Tsubasa through the school would be terrifying. As it is, they're still very much this to the poor hunted. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: As the story begins to shift away from Yukino to focus more on Arima's family and life, the narrative quite infamously takes a very noticeably dark turn. The anime adaptation not following suit was the main sticking point for Tsuda's opposition to it. Ironic, given that "King of Mind Screws" himself Hideaki Anno was the creative director for the show. | |

No Periods, Period: At some point, Yukino realizes that her period hasn't come in at least two months and wonders if she's pregnant. Considering the Teen Pregnancy trope below, she's right. | |

Yamato Nadeshiko: Shizune, Arima's adopted mother, pulls off all aspects of this perfectly. This includes the "hidden steel" part of the trope, when she ends up coordinating with Yukino to get a chance to deliver a beatdown on Arima's abusive biological mother. Rika is clearly one in training. | |

Flirty Stepsiblings: Kazuma and Tsubasa. Kazuma is the first to fall in non-step-sibling love with Tsubasa but eventually the feelings are mutual. Their parents are briefly surprised, but completely supportive. They also met in their mid-teens, so really there's nothing all that sibling like in their relationship. | |

| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_dc335a04 | comment |
Ear Worm: In Episode 6, after Yukino and Souichirou share an emotion-charged hug, Yukino is left alone when Souichirou leaves to clear his head. To her horror, a song she really hates starts playing in her head. The song is SOS by the 1970s' pop band Pink Lady. Yukino's hating of the song has to do with the lyrics (making it a Bilingual Bonus for those who understand them when the song plays). | |

| His and Her Circumstances (Manga) / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: The anime has moments of utilizing this due to Gainax dealing with their usual time and budgeting problems; standout examples are Episode 6 and 26, which both depend a lot on stills (and some scenes are just panels lifted right out of the manga) and Episode 19, where all the characters are depicted as paper cutouts instead of being fully animated. | |
