Girls Bravo (ＧＩＲＬＳブラボー, Gārusu Burabō^?) is a bishōjo manga (2000) and anime (2004) created by Mario Kaneda (まりお金田, Mario Kaneda^?). The anime series is licensed and distributed in North America by Geneon Entertainment, while TOKYOPOP publishes the manga. In Singapore, the manga is published by Chuang Yi.

The anime ran for two seasons: the first season with 11 episodes and the second season with 13 episodes. The series is usually considered a typical fan service harem anime. The TV broadcast of season 1 became infamous due to its relatively conservative broadcasting. Most of the objectionable content was censored with shadowing, steam, and digital editing. The TV broadcast of season 2 and DVD versions of both seasons did not have the censoring. The series ran mostly at very late nights.

[edit] Synopsis

Girls Bravo features a young male student named Yukinari Sasaki (佐々木雪成, Sasaki Yukinari^?) who was teased and bullied by girls to the point that he developed an allergic reaction, breaking out in hives whenever he comes into contact with a female. One day, when he comes back from school, he falls into the bathtub and gets transported to Seiren, a mysterious world with an almost entirely female population.

[edit] Major characters

Yukinari Sasaki (佐々木雪成, Sasaki Yukinari^?) is, in most ways, a normal young man, living alone; however, due to repeated teasing and bullying from girls, he has developed an allergic reaction that causes him to break out with rashes whenever he comes into contact with a female. One day, he falls in his bathtub and is transported to the female world of Seiren, where he meets Miharu–the first girl who doesn't cause him to break out on contact.

Voiced by Mamiko Noto (Japanese)/Yuri Lowenthal (English)
Kirie Kojima (小島桐絵, Kojima Kirie^?), Yukinari's neighbor, is also a classmate of his and takes care of him from time to time. She is particularly well-endowed, which makes her a natural target for Kazuharu Fukuyama's perverted actions; however, due to her physical aptitude, she often manages to turn the tables on Fukuyama.

Voiced by Chiwa Saito (Japanese)/Jennifer Sekiguchi (English)
Miharu Sena Kanaka (ミハル・セナ・カナカ, Miharu Sena Kanaka^?) is a resident of Seiren and is the one who pulled Yukinari to that world. She has a mark shaped like three dots in a triangular arrangement on her forehead; it provides her with several powers, such as the ability to transfer between Seiren and Earth and the power to create explosions when she sneezes. She is also the only female that can touch Yukinari without triggering his allergy.

Voiced by Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese)/Michelle Ruff (English)
Kazuharu Fukuyama (福山和春, Fukuyama Kazuharu^?), a classmate of Yukinari and Kirie, is rich, powerful, and perverted. While he often chases girls and picks on Yukinari (who he nicknames "Chibi-nari"), he does show a serious, caring side in critical situations. He has an allergic reaction that causes him to break out with rashes whenever he comes into contact with a male.

Lisa Fukuyama (福山リサ, Fukuyama Risa^?), Kazuharu's younger sister, is a master of black magic and is attended by Hayate and Kosame. She has an infatuation with Yukinari, much to Kirie's dismay, and often employs her abilities to try and get closer to him.

Voiced by Yuki Matsuoka (Japanese)/Hunter MacKenzie Austin (English)
Koyomi Hare Nanaka (コヨミ・ハレ・ナナカ, Koyomi Hare Nanaka^?), a resident of Seiren, is rather shy and timid towards men; unfortunately for her, she is also one of Kazuharu's favorite targets. Originally sent to Earth on a mission from the Space Travel Agency to 'retrieve' Miharu, she lives in Yukinari's house on a prolonged mission to find Maharu, Miharu's sister, a groom.

Voiced by Masayo Kurata (Japanese)/Carrie Savage (English)
Tomoka Lana Jude (トモカ・ラナ・ジュード, Tomoka Rana Jūdo^?), a resident of Seiren, who was sent along with Koyomi to bring Miharu back and subsequently assigned to find Maharu a groom. She is a child, but resents being treated as one, insisting that she's as mature as anyone else. She carries around a pet, Ebi.
