Ai Yori Aoshi

Synopsis

In "Ai Yori Aoshi," Kaoru Hanabishi, a college student living by himself, encounters a confused girl dressed in a kimono at a train station. He helps her find the address she is looking for, which turns out to be near his place, but the location is just an empty lot. With no other option, he brings the bewildered girl to his apartment and asks more about where she was trying to go. She then shows a photo of two children, and Kaoru immediately recognizes them as himself and his childhood friend, Aoi Sakuraba. He realizes the girl is Aoi Sakuraba, his fiancée, who has come to Tokyo to marry him. This sudden reunion shocks Kaoru and brings back painful memories of why he left the Hanabishi family.
