Inu X Boku Secret Service

Inu X Boku could just be a slice of life. The slice of life of a high school girl from a rich family who opts to move into an apartment by herself, but still supported by her family and their fortune, at the tender age of 15 because she wants to better herself. The main character, Ririchiyo Shirakiin, wants to better her social skills as she had developed a bad habit of telling everybody off regardless of whether they are being mean to her, or trying to be friendly to her. However, Inu X Boku is not just a slice of life.

The twist is that Ririchiyo and all the main characters have demon blood in them and can channel them to gain special abilities as well as transform. According to Ririchiyo, many of the families whose blood is mingled with demons are rich and part of the reason she developed the way she did was because her families demon blood runs the strongest in her. As a result, she was raised as something of a lucky charm of her family, with even her parents opting to isolate her and instead give their parental attention to her sister. Her parents believed that Ririchiyo's sister was the one who got the raw deal as she would have to live with constant comparison to Ririchiyo - the one who was endowed with the power of their Youkai ancestors. Needless to say that Ririchiyo saw things very differently and the nature of her family life was a big contributing factor to her personality flaw. The other contributing factor to Ririchiyo's personality flaw is that she knows that many people who are nice to her are only nice to her because of her family and their wealth.

So Ririchiyo moves into the Ayakashi Mansion, a complex that is presented to ordinary humans as a high security complex for rich people and celebrates but in truth is a complex built so that people with demon-blood can reside together and help each other. Especially since such half-demons are often targeted by full-blooded demons. As a result, many of the residents of Ayakashi Mansion have bodyguards or SS agents. SS agents are other half-demons with, I am guessing, more combat oriented powers and possible with families who aren't necessarily well off since they are working for the more wealthy residents of the complex. Ririchiyo had no intention of hiring an SS agent but arrives to find that her family had gotten her one: Soushi Miketsukami.

Miketsukami is a half-kitsune and one very devoted dog. He event asks Ririchiyo to think of him as her dog upon their first meeting. Ririchiyo cannot be brash with him as she is with others simply because you would have to be pretty messed-up to be cruel to a dog and it is established pretty early that Ririchiyo is not cruel and doesn't want to go around hurting people. As a result, Miketsukami rather effortlessly brings out her good side because he's a man unaccustomed to putting on airs and is genuinely devoted to Ririchiyo for who Ririchiyo is as a person, irrespective of her family, their position and wealth. Miketsukami claims his devotion is born from the fact that Ririchiyo saved him once but Ririchiyo cannot recall when she met Miketsukami before. However, I am sure we will learn that in due time. In the meantime, let us enjoy watching Ririchiyo come to understand that for unconditional love, you really can't beat a dog! ^.^

With the new season of anime arriving, I think that Inu X Boku SS is by far my favorite. I love the fact that Ririchiyo doesn't understand that fact that she has fallen for her SS agent and doesn't understand what the feeling means. All in all, I think that this is a very well put together anime series and by far my favorite and my number three of all time. The storyline, the characters, the animation, and everything overall about this series is very well put together

Inu x Boku Secret Service is a story about bloodlines passing down through generations carrying animals which allows the certain character to be able to transform into the "animal"

The storyline so far throughout the story is pretty smoothe and flowing, there are no left out blanks and is easily understandable through narration of the main protagonist and obvious remarks.

There is obviously not much to say about music but that the BGM for it suits the flow and atmosphere of the show.

As for characters, I'm suprised the characters were so unalike each other through apperance and names that it was easy to distinct who was who, this also contributes to the storyline.

The animation could have been better while making the characters a tad more..... "animated". I found that they could really work on the transformations of the characters.

Overall I found the anime really amusing and funny and in addition to a good flowing plot line I give this 5/5 stars!!!

I'm not saying the storyline is bad, it's just that the characters are more interesting FOR ME.They're hilarious and awesome at the same time. Plus it's like bishie heaven. Bishounen AND Bishoujo. Everybody's so pretty. Not to mention it is occasionally very sexy. Well, most of the time. And that puts it in my good books. Although looking at tiny Riri-chan being all sexy just crushes my self-esteem, not to mention it makes me feel like an old-granny, pedophile. I still love this anime. Can't wait for more update!

One of my favorite animes. Character and Animation is great, Character development is excellent. The writers tell you what you need to know about the Characters when you need to know it.
>Ririchiyo has a secret which she has forgotten. She has a hard time saying what she means.
>The SS Agent watching over her, Soushi, is completely serious but in a funny way. He never gets angry at anyone unless someone threatens Ririchiyo. Soushi is one of my favorite Characters in any anime that i've watched, because of his loyalty, respect, and slow to getting angry.
Its a great anime to get your spirits up, or if you want some comedy in with Romance.

Just started watching it today and would like to say IT'S. SO. GOOD. I'm not much of a 'romance' genre lover. But when it comes to this series, it has a combination of supernatural and comedy which makes it even better to watch. It's just been aired so there aren't much episodes... yet. But when there is, I'll take the time off my studying to watch this show instead. Because it's just that amazing! Great characters. Great storyline. And overall one of the best anime's EVER CREATED!
