The pair find themselves drawn together through an inexplicable attraction of their opposite personalities. As they quickly begin to understand one another, Inugami's hardened resolve to gain Nekoyama's favor only leads to frenzied responses. Soon after their momentous union, the two begin to spend more time with one another, growing closer all the while. Their combined antics gain the attention of the mousy Mikine Nezu, a classmate of Inugami, and soon they join the "biology" club. There, they meet Ushikawa Ukiji, a passive, cow-like upperclassmen.

Wild, explosive, and vibrant, Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san tells the comedic tale of two high school girls and their less-than-normal relationship. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Review

I actually found myself enjoying this show a lot this season. Although plagued with the issues that face a short this show proved to be really enjoyable. Story 6: Because it's a short it's really hard for the story to really develop and due to the nature of the show with each episode as a stand alone it didn't seem to have much going for it. Art 8: Although nothing special the art was cute and managed to stay out of the "generic" feel. This let the show rest on it's characters which is where it really shines. Character 8: Again withthe issue of shorts characters did not have a lot of time to develop but thats not to say that they didn't. The characters were all unique and I enjoyed the concept of each being attached to a different kind of animal. They all were interesting and fun. Sound 8: The sound wasn't stand out fantastic however the ending's melody and lyrics were cute and catchy and fit the show well. I found myself listening to it a number of times and enjoying the wordplay and humor as well as the upbeat melody. Enjoyment 10: Enjoyment is something that is really subjective and I'm going to be biased here because I LOVE YURI. The light yuri in this was outstanding and although I was spoiled by last seasons Sakura Trick I still found it really cute and appreciative. I really enjoyed each episode with each one actually making me laugh. The best way to put it is they were just fun. Overall 9: This may be because I rate high but I really enjoyed this show. It's unfortunate that shorts tend to get lower ratings because they don't have time to expand on their plot but I had a blast watching each episode of this. I really wish that it would come back for a full cour with full length episodes. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys light yuri or slice of life.

Now, I've been hearing a whole lot of people saying that anime shorts are becoming more and more popular in the anime industry, and this anime has finally led me to coincide this conclusion. Perhaps production costs to make 23 to 25 minute episodes for simplistic yon koma series like Yuyushiki just don't seem to make sense to the directors. Think about it--You can literally sum up this whole series in ONE episode if it were 24 minutes. So please think about that before writing off the series as terrible simply because the episodes are short. If you're looking for a heart warming series, you'lllike this.
