A blue haired violent girl runs into a boy idly checking Twitter on his mobile, accuses him of taking a pantyshot and breaks his phone.
A romance story then, with Yuu, our self absorbed Twitterer chasing after the titular blue haired girl, Fuuka. This is one of three manga based thrashy romance series this season, the others being Masamune-kun no Revenge and Kuzu no Honkai. Fuuka is the most conventional of the lot, with its useless male protagonist being shaken out of his funk by an energetic , cheerful if somewhat violent girl.
You do have to wonder what Yuu exactly sees in Fuuka at first, seeing as she breaks his phone not once, but twice in the first two times they meet. Not to mention that he seems barely interested in anything but updating his Twitter. Nevertheless, by the end of the first episode they’re on a date together and even h-h-holding hands.
What she sees in him isn’t quite clear either, but she isn’t the only one. His childhood friend turned idol still loves him too. in fact, she wrote most of her songs about him. Ironically, Fuuka herself is a big fan of her. Now while this looks to become your baisc love triangle story, i have actually read the original manga and know there’s a twist coming, which will put the other theme of the series in the foreground: music. Fuuka is a huge music fan but no drive to do anything until Yuu triggers her, while he also encouraged his childhood friend way back on her way to being an idol. The first couple of episodes therefore are somewhat atypical and blander than the rest of the series will hopefully be.
