The Pet Girl of Sakurasou - S01

At Suimei High, the Sakura-sou dormitory is notorious for housing the school's worst delinquents. So when the fairly ordinary Sorata Kanda gets transferred there, escaping this madhouse becomes his main goal. Stuck there for now, he has to figure out how to deal with his fellow residents, like the bubbly animator Misaki Kamiigusa, the charming playboy writer Jin Mitaka, and the always reclusive Ryuunosuke Akasaka. Surrounded by all this weirdness, Sorata often finds relief in hanging out with his one "normal" friend, aspiring voice actress Nanami Aoyama. When Mashiro Shiina, a new foreign exchange student, moves into the dorm, Sorata is immediately captivated by her beauty. Beneath her otherworldly looks, Mashiro is an autistic savant, capable of world-famous brilliance in her art, yet unable to handle simple daily tasks. After Sorata ends up responsible for taking care of Mashiro, the two inevitably grow closer, and his original wish to leave the dormitory fades away. Despite their quirks, every resident is amazing in their own field, leaving Sorata to wrestle with his own lack of any special talent. With brilliance all around him, he strives to become their equal. Centered on the struggles and joys of its colorful cast, Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo is a heartwarming coming-of-age story about friendship, love, ambition, and heartbreak, seen through the eyes of an ordinary person surrounded by the extraordinary.
