Coming of Age/Soul Mates/Modern Titles

#
Coming of Age: (Story/Location) A story in which the main character is confronted with issues related to their transition from adolescence (innocence) to adulthood (responsibility). Most typically found in a modern romance story in which the main character has to confront his/her feelings over their (first) love and/or deciding about the path in life (setting goals, attending college, getting a job etc.).

Soul Mates: (Story/Location) Mentioned only in terms of extreme romantic entanglements, there are situations in which two people (or souls) are destined (or pre-destined) to have a strong emotional attraction or involvement.

Modern: (Setting) These are titles which have a modern feel to them; the story takes place in the present day (of the creation of this anime), give or take a few years.

I's Pure
Buy Seto Ichitaka-kun has always admired Yoshizuki Iori-chan from a distance. She is in the drama club and he's just a watcher that is almost a stalker. One day his best friend hands him a magazine that features up and coming stars and this month features Iori in many provocative poses! Ichitaka is stunned. Here the girl he likes is more worldly than he thought. In class that day they decide that two people are going to put on a play to welcome the freshmen class. The 2 people? Seto and Iori, of course. Too bad that during their project planning phase Ichitaka drops a photo composition of a nude body with Iori's head, right in front of this girl... and things don't exactly get easier when Akiba Itsuki, Seto's childhood friend and his self-acclaimed fiancé, returns from America to move in at the house of Ichitaka's family...

After 2 years of secret admiration, "I don't want it" is the rejection she gets when she plucks up enough courage to hand him a love letter. Dejected, Kotoko vows to give him up. By a twist of fate, Kotoko's house collapses; her dad and her put up at a friend's place, who happens to be Naoki's father. And thus, life with Naoki begins and Kotoko's love for Naoki rekindles again.
