Kaoru Hanabishi just had a desire to help, and Aoi Sakuraba was just desperate to find her first love. They never realized they were looking for each other. Ever since their arranged marriage 18 years ago, Aoi had been in love with Kaoru. She had learned that the marriage was canceled after she visited Tokyo to see him. Although, Kaoru becomes impressed by Aoi's loyalty, beauty, and innocence. In effect of his thoughts, and to accept her affection, he realizes he might return to the Hanabishi clan while tolerating the emotional and physical pain as he did during his childhood. Watch while both their love and self-control is put to the test once she moves in and he attempts to maintain his gentlemanliness.

From a Mini Critic's Perspective: One thing that can be said about Ai Yori Aoshi is that it is sorta Half-and-Half. One part of it aims to be a dramatic romance, serious-toned, with a pinch of comedy, relating to some other anime or manga. As for the other part, aims to be an "All Girls Against The Amount Of One Guy" complication like Love Hina by Ken Akamatsu(author of Negima!). Those differences aside, Kaoru and Aoi are wonderfully thoughtful characters. A lot of viewers think about how perfect Aoi seems, taking the role of the landlord, cooking/serving dinner, cleans, is optimistic about every task, very obedient, and so on. However, like us real human beings, each and every character is more complex on the inside than we let on. Stresses overwhelm many, including Aoi. Let alone the fact that she was bred to be the model wife for a man who will soon run her family's conglomerate. Every now and then Aoi comes to her senses and focuses on being an especially helpful wife to Kaoru and not just a plain trophy wife that we all think of.
Importantly, the two head characters have complicated families, which destined their relationship even more. This also cleared up the fact that they both(EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD) need someone in their life to give them the support they need. Which leads to the next detail...
The relationship described in this particular anime is all emotional, awkward, bittersweet, thoughtful, as well as curiosity-causing. Although its not one easy to describe, its great seeing the couple wander as individuals, and achieving much more than the hurt they have experienced, through each other. This couple is one of the very few that defines reality and not just kissy-kissy, grabby-grabby, cartoony stuff.
Also, in difference to the *now and then* minor sidetracking of the show, as problems and new characters are thrown in the couple finds out more about each other and can easily identify their fate. There is a lot more to the story and more I would write in this review but unfortunately it is something one cannot ever describe in just one day. Never to go into depth within a century either. I hope you will choose to watch this tempting anime that gives almost anyone a feeling of fun and easy understanding.
