Ai Yori Aoshi (藍より青し, lit. "Bluer Than Indigo")[a] is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kou Fumizuki. The manga was serialized in Hakusensha's seinen manga magazine Young Animal magazine from 1998 to 2005 and the chapters collected into 17 tankōbon volumes. It is a love story between two characters who have not seen each other in years, but were once childhood friends.

An anime television series adaptation was animated by J.C.Staff and directed by Masami Shimoda, with Kenichi Kanemaki handling series composition, Kazunori Iwakura designing the characters and Toshio Masuda composing the music.[3] The anime was broadcast on Fuji TV in 2002.[4] A second season titled Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi (藍より青し ~縁~) was set two years later and aired in 2003.[5] There are 37 episodes total, counting an alternate-continuity Christmas special. The anime was released in North America by Geneon and the manga was released in English by Tokyopop. Four visual novels were also released for the PlayStation 2 and Windows 98.
