Kokoro Connect doesn’t even stop there, either, as it sports a lively, loveable side cast as well. I can’t think of a single other group of characters that are capable of this to quite the same degree. It doesn’t matter if the scene is serious or comedic, drama-filled or simple banter these characters click so perfectly together that their actions in any situation are enjoyable.
A scene can bring together literally any possible combination of these five characters and it will work seamlessly. The sheer amount of chemistry between every single member of the CRC is astounding.

While, standalone, each member is great, together they create arguably the greatest group dynamic in any series I’ve ever watched or read. Now all that said, while I’ve talked extensively about the main cast members as characters, I’ve yet to mention what I personally believe is the singular best aspect of the entire series: how absolutely fantastic the CRC is as a group.
Needless to say at this point, but, in summation, I believe the five members of Kokoro Connect’s main cast to be quite remarkable characters deserving of much praise. To talk more about the intricacies of the main cast members would require going into specifics about each character individually, so for the sake of brevity and keeping this review focused, I’ll refrain from doing so (as much as I may want to). However it’s done, the development of each character is striking at most points in the story, one could look just a volume or two back and notice significant changes in the characters. The pacing of growth varies by character and over time: some growth is slow and gradual (sometimes even stretched across multiple story arcs), and some growth arrives in a more desperate, immediate fashion as a response to events significant to the character in question. From a complete, reflective perspective, the amount of growth each member experiences is quite incredible, and only serves to make the main cast all the better. Each has an endearing personality infused with enough unique flavor to avoid falling strictly into archetypal molds, and they, too, each possess a considerable amount of depth which is exposed and explored across the series.ĭespite being solid from the get-go, these characters by no means remain stagnant. Individually, every member of the CRC is excellent. Kokoro Connect contains one of the most memorable, likeable, and fleshed out main casts out there, in my opinion. Prepare yourself, though: this is a long review.Īs one would expect from a slice-of-life/drama story, the most important aspect of Kokoro Connect is undeniably its characters, and the series more than delivers in this regard.
Nearly a decade after the series first began publishing in Japan, Kokoro Connect received an official English publication starting in 2018, and with the series now available to such a wide audience, I felt it important to do my part in trying to convince anyone and everyone I can to read what became one of my favorite series. If theyĬan endure, however, perhaps they’ll come out stronger than they ever could’ve dreamed of. Kokoro Connect is a story about the CRC fighting against their unfortunate supernatural circumstances, their bonds put to the test and their will pushed to its limits. For various reasons, they attracted the attention of a supernatural entity calling itself ‘Heartseed’, who, claiming to seek ‘entertainment’, subjects the CRC to a series of supernatural phenomena that forever change their lives. Though formed mostly by happenstance, the five members of the CRC, Yaegashi Taichi, Inaba Himeko, Nagase Iori, Kiriyama Yui, and Aoki Yoshifumi, became a close-knit group of friends. Kokoro Connect follows the members of Yamaboshi High School’s Cultural Research Club, or CRC for short.
