Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi takes place two years after episode one of Ai Yori Aoshi. Enishi, as stated by Aoi, are the bonds that tie people to one another. Kaoru is now a graduate student, and Chika is now a high school student. The other characters are a year further along in the same positions that they were in Ai Yori Aoshi; it has been two years since the first episode of Ai Yori Aoshi. The series is somewhat devoted to slice-of-life episodes for all the characters, whilst the relationship of the two leads, Kaoru and Aoi, is still further developed. Many of the later episodes are used to develop Tina Foster’s character. The end of the final episode includes brief glimpses at the near-term futures of the show’s characters following the series’ end. There is a total of twelve episodes in this season.
