She is the younger sister of Fujiwara Yoriko, the caretaker, and used to play with Hanabi a lot when she was a child.

After Hanabi came to live at Tachibanakan, she and Iori became rivals over Hanabi.
Takamura Iori [Grade] First-year high school student [Height] 154cm [Birthday] February 12th [Star sign] Aquarius A first-year high school student who moved into Tachibanakan the day before Hanabi arrived. She doesn't say much, and her actions are mysterious, so at first glance it's hard to tell what she's thinking.

・Fujiwara Yoriko [Grade] Working adult [Height] 166cm [Birthday] April 19th [Star sign] Aries She is the manager of Tachibana Hall, the older sister of Fujiwara Konomi, and the mother of Tachibana Hall, as everyone around her recognizes.

She enjoys active physical contact, gets along well with everyone, and is the mood maker of Tachibanakan, sometimes hosting events.
Mitsui Sona [Grade] 2nd year university student [Height] 160cm [Birthday] November 2nd [Star sign] Scorpio A university student girl who was rescued by Yu when she was being harassed by a man at a bar and came to Tachibanakan.

review

"Tachibanakan To Lie Angle" is a TV anime series that aired in 2018, based on the manga "Tachibanakan Triangle" by merryhachi. Although the story is a comedy with elements of lucky perverts and harems, it is a work that deeply touches viewers by depicting the growth of characters and the deepening of relationships.

The protagonist, Natsuno Hanabi, returns to the countryside for the first time in six years to attend high school, and due to a misunderstanding, ends up living in a rundown apartment building called Tachibanakan. From the very first day of living there, Hanabi is faced with a series of bewilderment, rather than "lucky", as she encounters a beautiful girl completely naked and witnesses her childhood friend in an embarrassing scene. However, through her interactions with the residents of Tachibanakan, Hanabi gradually begins to reexamine herself and grow.

The charm of this work lies in its characters, which are full of individuality. Fujiwara Konomi, Hanabi's childhood friend, adores Hanabi as an older sister, but has a sensitive side that makes it difficult for her to express her feelings honestly. Takamura Iori, who also lives in Tachibanakan, is a mysterious figure of few words, but surprises those around her with her bold actions. Fujiwara Yoriko, the caretaker, is like a mother to Tachibanakan, and has the kindness to lead the residents to solutions to their problems. Tsukishiro Yu, with his tomboyish and straightforward personality, is the mood maker of Tachibanakan. Mitsui Sona has an arrogant attitude, but also a caring side, and although she complains about the shabbiness of Tachibanakan, she gradually fits in.

The subtitles of each episode are also unique, catching the viewer's interest. Starting with "New Life!", the series continues with "The Secret Place," "Tacking and Sleeping Together," "Passion and the Toilet," "Summer Clothes and the Closet," "Welcome Party and Water Guns," "Meteor Showers and Buckets," "Fish and Kisses," "Colds and Memories," "Table Tennis at the Hot Springs," and "Summer Festival," and concludes with "In This Place, at Tachibana House." These subtitles offer a glimpse into the various daily happenings at Tachibana House and the changes in the relationships between the residents.

The ending theme "Motto, Nee Motto" is sung by Erabareshi, with lyrics and music by Chiyomaru Shikura and arrangement by Shinichi Yuki. This song is characterized by a warm melody that reflects the feelings of Hanabi as she grows through her life at Tachibanakan.

Recommendation

"Tachibanakan To Lie Angle" is recommended not only for viewers who want to enjoy lucky perverts and harem elements, but also for viewers who want to enjoy a story that depicts the growth of characters and the deepening of human relationships. In particular, you may find an opportunity to reexamine yourself through Hanabi's growth and interactions with the residents of Tachibanakan. Another attraction is the dialogue between the unique characters and the unique subtitles. The ending theme, "Motto, Hey Motto," is a warm song that symbolizes life at Tachibanakan, and you can enjoy the afterglow of the show after watching.

This work can be enjoyed in conjunction with the original manga "Tachibanakan Triangle." The original contains detailed episodes and character backgrounds that are not depicted in the anime, allowing you to understand the work even more deeply. Also, for fans of the original work, the anime adaptation will allow you to enjoy the work from a new perspective.

"Tachibanakan To Lie Angle" is a heartwarming work with a touching story full of laughs and tears and a cast of unique characters. Please give it a watch.
