At a glance, Kimagure Orange Road (KOR) is your basic high-school romantic comedy. The romance and drama center around a love triangle. The main character, Kasuga has a few telekinetic powers which are often used for comedic effect. He is also quite indecisive. The other main characters are Madoka and Hikaru. Most of the time, Madoka acts like a tough girl who can do anything and Hikaru demonstrates extreme cheerfulness. The stories generally follow Kasuga in his relationship with Madoka and Hikaru |

A few other quickie things I want to talk about before this thing rambles on even longer than I planned it to... The original manga that KOR is based on is almost a completely different experience. Kyosuke is not perverted in the least, Madoka is twice as understanding and Hikaru is twice as bitchy as her counterpart in the anime. Most of the "zany" situations that arrise in the manga happen because Kyosuke is a total lush. He gets completely blitzed in almost every single storyline! Kinda gets old after a while. We do get to know Kyosuke's lesbian cousin, Akane, a bit more than we do in the one OAV she's in. But that's no biggie. Plus the ending is as far different from the anime's ending as can possibly be without creating an alternate world where differences are magnified further by the presence of a "negative field" that lives in the spirit of everything that exists. Very different.
