I finished this anime entire series in just 1.5 days - a record for me! Usually, I take my sweet time, but this anime had me hooked.
The modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in a boarding school had me sold from the start. Inuzuka and Persia's secret relationship was adorable, funny, and heartbreaking all at once. Their societal differences made their love feel forbidden, but that only added to the excitement.
That confession scene? Iconic. Inuzuka's sincerity and Persia's flustered reaction had me grinning from ear to ear. Their chemistry was undeniable, and I found myself rooting for them from the get-go.
What impressed me most was the balance of humor and heart. The supporting cast added to the laughter, and the drama was expertly woven throughout. I loved how the anime tackled t…

Boarding School Juliet is a romantic comedy anime series based on a popular manga of the same name. The anime follows the story of two students from rival boarding schools, Inudzuka Romeo and Juliet Percia, who fall in love despite the long-standing feud between their schools.
One of the standout features of the anime is its vibrant and colorful animation style, which effectively captures the lively atmosphere of the boarding schools. The characters are well-designed and each one has a distinct personality that makes them endearing to the audience. The voice acting is also top-notch, bringing life to the characters and adding to the overall enjoyment of the show.
The romance between Romeo and Juliet is one of the highlights of the series. Their relationship is filled with comedic moments…

So I watched this because of it was on prime video so let me start off with don’t expect it to be even remotely close to Romeo and juliet apart from the forbidden romance. With that being said this show is awful and I would have given this show an even worse score if not for the fact that the comedy can be funny at times. Our MC is probably the biggest loser I’ve seen in awhile in anime history. The show will try to sell to you that he is some aloof strong guy who is supposed to be respected by his people but that idea falls flat so fast you’d be looking at Persia’s chest. The guy MC is the worst part of the show the girl MC is so forgettable becuase she literally has nothing to do in the show besides do whatever task the mc ask of her to make the relationship work. She has literally no pu…

After reading the manga which i thought was truly amazing. The character and story development in the manga was one of the best i have ever read/watched. It was truly a joy to read but after watching the anime adaptation i have to say i am disappointed at the job they have done. It does not do justice for how good the manga is.
Story/character :
They have cut out a lot of the character and story development making it feel less complete than it should be and it feels like you are thrown into the show without good development of the characters. They have taken some of the more significant scenes from the manga but the less significant scenes is what makes these scene better however by cutting these out makes less amazing than it should. AN example at the end cause its a spoiler.
Art / Anim…

I came across this anime while browsing the options listed in prime video. I had neither read the manga nor had any previous information about it and was just looking for a light anime to hook me up. And boy was it good.
It is one of those anime which instantly makes you want a next season. Now that I have come know about the manga and am reading it, I am falling in love with a lot more.
But strictly speaking about the anime, it just has a great balance of humor plus drama. Yes it has the same Romeo and Juliet premise but it feels much more.
While the story is not very great, it is good enough to keep you engaged and watching it. There are literally no fillers and each episode keeps moving the story forward. The art and animation is just great and makes you fall in love with each and…

READ THE MANGA!
I highly recommend to continue the series by reading the manga.
The best parts are yet to come in the succeeding chapters.
Its not that new or unique story, but still, it was hilarious and fun to watch.
Aside from that, their willingness to defy the unreasonable status quo makes you think a bit about our society today, it makes you also wonder if you can also have that motivation to change the world for the better, not just for yourself but for others as well.
Though some of the actions of the characters were quite predictable at some point, and the motivations behind it is a bit simplistic, as what you would expect from high-school students, it still hooks you in, and will make you watch more and more of their crazy antics as secret couple. It makes you excited an…

That anime was very enjoyable and refreshing for me. 10 out of 10.
I liked it because of its comedy and action, definitely much better than a sad story, if you ask me.
The character design and development was fantastic, too.
It's a shame that the anime only got 12 episodes, so I went for the manga after I watched it.
P.S. I also wrote a review on the manga on my blog:

Story: 7
As the title suggests, Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet takes place in a boarding school. The problem is that the school isn't very fleshed out. It is a standard magical school setting with house rivalry that substitutes magic with physical combat. Although the plot is fairly predictable, it is sensical enough to be a ground for a solid 6 (fair) plot. However, I am giving it a 7 because of the ending. For a 12 episode adaptation, Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet chose a perfect stopping point that hints the direction that the story will unfold while leaving me satisfied enough to not need a sequel. I plan to read the manga, though.

The art is Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet is quality work. Character design is also good.

Classic Tragic Love Story Made by Shakespeare is the plot
However the anime progress in a modern high school style impact with addition of comedy is really entertaining seeing how really hard is it to be fall in love with someone you cant actually date that someone in a different border and where borders meet and cant do anything about it
I enjoyed this anime very much and willing to see a second season after all the anime ended the classic story of Shakespeare and pointed to a new direction in season 2 im looking forward on how original they can be after copying shakespeare (not sarcasm) but im interested how they progress
The anime has side character development thru out the anime and is entertaining to watch in addition of hilarious jokes and amazing animation of the anime it focuses o…

If you're a long-time anime fan, you surely remember those 2000's romance anime full of ecchi, stupid jokes and a incredible strong love. Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet is just like that.
Nostalgic because of its resemblance with the anime we watched during our younger days, Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet may be seen as something good, or at least tolerable to watch, when it's not.
Sure, maybe the relationship between the two main characters is cute and all that, but it's not worth the watch when everything else (other characters, plot, setting) is plainly mediocre.
The opening deceives (It deceived me) and make you think this is an actual good anime, but it's not. I guess some episodes are fun, but overall it's pretty weak.

If there's anything from ninth grade I remember most, it's the unit where I was forced to read the Shakespearian tale of 'Romeo and Juliet', the classic romantic tragedy of two lovers of opposing families who were never meant to be, ultimately dying together as a sign of their love. (Spoiler if you've never read the book, watched the play, or watched any of the hundreds of story variants.) So really, what's the next step for such an old and classic tale? Rewrite and reproduce it as an anime of course.
Story:
Boarding School Juliet takes place on Dahlia Island, the sole island in the middle of two rivaling countries: 'Touwa' and 'The West'. On Dahlia Island is the boarding school where there're two dormitories based on the rivaling countries: The White Cats for 'The West', and the B…

If you are expecting an anime version of Romeo and Juliet, look elsewhere.
Although the plot seems to follow along Shakespeare's original play, it is more like if someone took a spin-off of the play... and added comedy and anime tropes to it.
However, the lack of Romeo and Juliet themes doesn't detract from the overall viewing experience. The atmosphere is surprisingly lighthearted, in spite of several more serious events taking place.
I personally find that the characters are the best part of this anime. Most characters are unbelievable (there is no way that a perfect girl like Persia exists in reality), but that is just part of their charm. The characters do have relatable motives for their actions, although those actions are performed in the standard over-the-top manner.
In summar…

Easily 10/10. Animation was fantastic, and I am very happy this didn't turn out to be just another harem anime. I think their relationship progressed a bit too slow and that Romeo was a bit childish not even being able to be close to her without blushing but nothing which degrades the score of the masterpiece this is. I honestly jumped out of happiness and excitement during the last episode and that is a strong 10 for me.
Also this is not a spoiler of any storyline but the anime ended on manga-chapter 18, out of current 85. Material-wise this has every posibility for a season 2. 😍

So i gave this an overall 10. Despite the ending well not being the end (so this isnt a spoiler but the material its based on is still ongoing as far as i know). However as a standalone 12 episode show it was amazing. i pray we get a second season with an actual ending BUT in all honesty i honestly think this show would need at least (and that's at LEAST) two more seasons to even make that possible. I suppose a lazy conclusion would be for the countries to intermarry nobility or something to improve relations but i do not really see that happening.
Now as the name of the anime suggests, its based LOOSELY on the original Romeo and Juliet. However fear not this anime has nothing to do with the original apart from the use of their names, and their relationship being forbidden as they are on…

A Romeo and Juliet love story re-interpretation that is actually good. No seriously.
Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet takes a Romeo and Juliet story, add in a harem that makes "some sense" for the main couple and combine all that with the basis of Romeo and Juliet's family dispute to a school setting, as much as these statements makes it out like cliche, but it's in the details.
Our titular Romeo and Juliet are taking place in Dahlia Academy Boarding School where there are two rivaling countries known as the White Cats where our Juliet Persia voiced by Ai Kayano is factioned where as the Black Doggies is where Romio Inzuka voiced by Yuuki Ono is factioned. Romio and Persia both drives the plot forward, with Romio having a crush on Persia since childhood and wanting to help Persia to change socie…

My first review so i am gonna keep it short :) A bit of spoilers*
This Anime series takes the elements of Classical Shakespeare Story of Romeo and Juliet from a manga by Kaneda Yousuke , with the story of the two main characters Persia Juliet and Inuzuka Romio belonging to opposite factions "The White Cats" and "The Black Dog", who fall for each other and have to overcome difficulties on a daily basis to keep their relationship a secret from their factions and maintaining it while achieving their common goal which is achieving peace between the two factions and change the world while developing and working on their relationship.
The story is a mix of your generic Highschool romance and Comedy, also throwing in some serious moments at times and adapting elements of ancient time traditions…

Being a great fan of the typical Romeo X Juliet school-twisted manga at hindsight, I was wishing for an anime adaptation of this rom-com for sometime, and when it premiered in Fall 2018, I was SO happy and ready for the anime adaptation by Liden Films, and it delivered flawlessly (well, small faults but big wins). (Yay, Happy Xmas wish granted!)
The story...let's just say that if you know a even a little bit about the Romeo X Juliet Shakespeary context, it's the exact same premise here, just in terms of different factions, mainly the White Cats and Black Dogs, led by both leaders Romio Inuzuka and Juliet Persia. So with that, Dahlia Academy Boarding School (Juliet), was made as per the neutral ground for both factions to have and nurture education for everyone regardless of which faction…

Please note this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet and while care has been taken to minimize spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned.
Based off a popular manga of the same name Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet better known as Boarding school Juliet is a romance comedy themed anime that gives us the opportunity to see what will happen if you reimagine the classic romance story of Romeo and Juliet and replace the feuding families with two rival countries who send students to a neutral boarding school and the many rivalries, bonds, friendships and romances that can occur when students from rival countries compete with each other in the many events that are unique to school-based settings.

“There’s no sexual harassment in a match” — Four-eyed sex offender
Oh…in that case.
I haven’t seen Romeo and Juliet butchered this horribly since Baz Luhrmann decided to cast Leonardo DiCaprio in a modernized version of the Bard’s classic with its original dialogue intact. At Dahlia Academy Boarding School, the “White Cats” and the “Black Dogs” operate on the assumption that the only way to resolve their differences, is through a school yard battle royal where anything goes. Faces get punched. Hair gets pulled. Even more faces get punched. Girls clothes get stripped off (you know, standard middle school happenings). But amidst all the chaos and lifelong brain damage, our main character, Romio Inuzuka, reveals his affection towards his Juliet and thus begins an awkward series of events wh…

If you take a classic story like Romeo and Juliet and convert it into a modern romantic comedy, you’d get Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet. While neither series are alike to each other, they do borrow a few familiar themes with the most prominent being a forbidden romance. But there’s more to that, no?
Romance is practical in a show like this but it made me question first what the were really aiming for. I’m not familiar Yousuke Kaneda’s works but when it comes to a rom-com, they made the point crystal clear. Romio Inuzuka and Juliet Persia are in love. It’s the type of love that ties these two lovebirds like fate. However, it’s a forbidden love as Romio and Persia belong in opposite sides of society. In their school (Dahlia Academy Boarding School), there are two rivaling countries. They are kno…
