meganbmooreMeet Ran Kotobuki, the justice driven, bargain hunting, supreme Gal of Shibuya. At 16, Ran is the youngest member of a family of police officers. Her parents, naturally, expect Ran to be a police officer. Her brother begs her to stop causing problems in his district. Ran? COULDN'T CARE LESS!
She is a slave to her lifestyle, a relentless hunter of whatever she wants, and will be a gal until the day she dies, no matter what anyone says. She takes nothing from no one, sticks up for everyone in existance, conquers all other Gals, and can never be shaken once she's on the scent. Together with her best friends, Miya-a former yankee(gangster) who is dating Ran's cop brother, Yamato(WOE! EMO! ANGST!...ok, no, not really...but they do get all the romantic angst scenes)-and Aya-the top student in their class-she patrols the streets of Shibuya. Together, they are the Charlie's Angels of Shibuya(the opening credits were so begging me to say that.) Occassionally(read: every episode) they're joined by Yuya-the sweet, second most popular and best looking boy in Shibuya who is in love with Ran-and Rei-the stoic, sardonic, most popular and best looking boy in Shibuya, who Aya has a crush on. Yuya loves Gals...well, these ones at least. Rei claims he doesn't like Gals, but always lets himself get caught up in Ran's dramas.
Mysterious love letters? Leches? Cheats? No money? Failing grades? Unattainable items? Interfering parents? NO PROBLEM! All in a day's work for Ran Kotobuki!
*hem*
Am in love.

Date: 2008-01-17 03:10 am (UTC)I have determined that:
1) Rei is the only male in the world who wouldn't be reduced to her servant.
2) Rei is far too smart to ever fall for Ran.
But really, those are synonymous in their way...

It's really a lovely show as a sidedish to cleanse your palate :D, and I LOVE the Kogal slang explanation bits.
