This is the perfect anime to define the phrase ‘trial of love’.
Yuri Kuma Arashi is a world where humans used to peacefully coexist with humanoid bears who would never misbehave, let alone harm someone.
But one day after the strike of a meteor, these bears’ cells mutated quite abruptly and instilled in them the desire of eating other humans aka cannibalization.

Now a wall has been erected to separate these two civilizations but a couple of female bears could not help themselves but fall in love with a bear-hating human.

Otome wa Boku ni koishiteru is about a boy named, Mizuho, who deeply respected his grandfather.
