[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] Video game

Tsuyokiss revolves around the lives of a group of high school students and the often comedic events that occur in their lives. The main protagonist is an average boy named Leo Tsushima who is secretly in love with the eldest daughter of the Kiriya Corporation and who is also the student council president - Erika Kiriya. One day, a new transfer student named Sunao Konoe comes into her new school with her heart set on creating the drama club, though as hard as she tried, she could still not convice Erika to approve the club.

Later, a senior female student, Otome Kurogane, knocks out several of the main characters one day when they are trying to sneak into school after being late. Surprisingly, it turns out that she is Leo’s beloved cousin that he had not seen for years. Suddenly, Otome decides to move in to the same house as Leo, whose mediocre life is changing into something a bit more exciting.

[edit] Anime

The anime version's plot of Tsuyokiss differs from that of the video game's in that Sunao Konoe is seen as the main protagonist in the story who is very determined to form a drama club in the school she recently transferred to. Her main obstacle is having to prove to the student council president, Erika Kiriya, that forming a drama club would be worth her time which usually means Erika offering Sunao challenges that she must pass for the club to be formed.

In the beginning of the story, her family moves to a new town because of her mother's work as an actress. Ever since seeing her mother acting once when she was younger, Sunao dreams of someday becoming an actress too, and likewise is very passionate about drama in general. On her first day at her new school, she adamantly wants to become a member of the drama club, though is soon informed that their school has no such club yet established. This in turn makes her very determined to start one as soon as possible, though it's proving harder than she thought.

During her first performance on stage when she was much younger, she had gotten stage fright though a little boy who was also in the play managed to get her over it. One her first day at school, she recognizes Leo as the little boy who helped her during her first play, though it took more of a reminder via her pig tails and the childish phrase daikon meaning poor actor which earned him a slap in the face.

Yoshimi Satou (佐藤良美, Satō Yoshimi)^?, (Seiyū - Mayuko Omimura): She is a timid girl who works alongside Erika in the student council building. Since she is not good at asserting herself, she can easily be taken advantage of by Erika, who has taken the liberty to also nickname her Yoppi.

[edit] Media

Tsuyokiss first began as an H-game for the PC and has since been made into an anime and even a PS2 version of the game is going to be released in Japan.

[edit] Video games

Tsuyokiss's first appearance was in the form of a visual novel video game for the PC developed by Candy Soft and released on August 26, 2005. Like many games in this genre, it was first made as an H-game made more older members of the public to enjoy. Later, a different version more suitable for kids 12 and older started to be developed and will be released on August 1, 2006; it will be entitled Tsuyokiss ~Mighty Heart~.

[edit] Anime

The Tsuyokiss anime started airing in Japan on July 1, 2006 and is set to have a total of 12 episodes. There is a fair amount of fan service in the anime, though it only goes as far as to qualify as ecchi. Its full title is Tsuyokiss Cool x Sweet. A recurring theme in the anime is that there are several times where the main anime will stop for a few seconds during an eyecatch where at least one of the characters will be shown in a fanservice-like scene saying the single word Tsuyokiss.
