Special A is based on the shōjo manga of the same name by Maki Minami. The story revolves around 7 high school students, who constitute the S. A Class in the Hakusenkan (or Private Hakusen Academy), the best school of their area. The S.A students stand above all other students as the absolute best and thus, has a lot of special benefits.
Number 2 among the S.A in ranking, is Hikari Hanazono, Always second to Kei Takashima, the School’s Number 1 (since the day they met when they were both 6 years old). Hikari’s aim is to beat Kei in virtually everything. Too bad for her that Takashima Kei is a genius (bordering on superhuman) who can pretty much do anything and do it far better than anyone else. Unknown to her, Kei has very strong feelings for her, loving her immensely while Hikari is totally clueless and is persistent on beating him.
In the end, those looking for some nice light-hearted shojo fun will find a gem in Special A...Full Review
