I was digging for a good anime (since the end of Vampire Knight Guilty (gotta watch this one if you haven't) I've had a rough time finding one)
I think Tenjou Tenge fit what I was looking for although the ending wasn't very satisfying. The manga is at MangaFox and is still ongoing so there is no way to find out right now who Nagi will end up with.

It starts out with two guys (Nagi, Bob) starting there freshman year at high school. They were called the Knuckle Bombers in middle school and plan to resume in high school however it turns out they are the weakest in the school. They want to become stronger and join the Junken club (forgive me for any misspellings) for training.

The Junken club is run by a girl named Maya. She stays in chibi form to save up her ki so she can defeat someone. Also in the club is her sister Aya and Takayanagi.

The series runs along pretty good until midways and there it stops to do tons of flashbacks. I got a little bored during all this but it very important to the series. It tells the story of Shin, Mitsuomi and the orginial Junken club. Then it goes back to 'present day' only to go back a couple episodes later.

Shin is Maya and Aya's brother. He has a major sister complex but I actually fell in love with the idea and wanted the two together. Doesn't happen so those that hate incest (which normally I do) don't panic. Shin was born with the family power of ryuugan (dragon's eye ). He touched the family sword Reiki that held supernatural powers causing his to awaken at a very young age. Because he was so young he nearly if not drove him insane. I felt so very very sorry for him.

Shin's friend Mitsuomi is suppose to be the ultimate martial artist. He falls in love with Maya but sleeps with Shin's girlfriend. I never cared for this character until the ending episodes. Mitsuomi is also the president of the Enforcers of the school. Although he never dies in the series he doesn't have long to live because of his heart.

Maya is Shin's sister. She doesn't have any supernatural abilities. She has really big ****s as do most all the female characters do. Sometimes it gets a little annoying. Lots of panty shots too. She is the keeper of the sword Reiki. She's really the cause of her brothers downfall as well as the disbandment of team Katana (Shin's first gang/team/club).
In present day she is captain of club Junken.

Aya is my favorite character. She is Maya and Shin's sister. She also has the supernatural power of the dragon. There family rule is if anyone sees there skin they must marry that person. Nagi falls on her while she is taking a shower and thus sees her naked. She instantly falls in love with him and steals his first kiss.
She takes the sword and causes a fuss but to me its the start of bringing Mitsuomi and Maya together.

Souichiro Nagi is the son of a exorcist family. The belief is to defeat evil you must become evil. His family is feared and rejected causing him a lot of pain. The power is called the dragon's fist. He becomes a total rebel and wants to fight to become stronger. He learns his true shortcomings when he fights Mitsuomi younger brother. Aya supports him all the way but he begins to have feelings for Maya. Aya having the power of the dragon as well can 'see' inside his heart so this causes her a lot of anguish at first until she become determined and tells them she will not loose to Maya. She will become stronger and better than Maya. What made me a little confused was his mother says something about which dragon will he choose. The black dragon or the gold dragon.

There are several other characters like Bob (Nagi's friend that is really calm and cool) Bunshichi ( 20 year old 3rd year high school student. Lazy but really very very strong and smart) etc....

The ending is like many animes I've watched recently where the ending just kind of doesn't close. Its left open as with this one there is a tournament coming up where Maya is suppose to fight Mitsuomi. Nagi is about to tell Aya something but she cuts him off telling him she knows he cares for Maya but she won't loose he will become her husband someday. This was a big issue for me so I went searching and read all the views of people. 1. He was going to tell Aya he loved Maya 2. He was going to tell her he had feeling for her because the first time he 'transformed' it was because he thought of Maya and turned into the 'black dragon' but the second time he 'transformed' his dragon was gold thus he must have been thinking of Aya. These are the views I read you can choose which you prefer when you watch.

If you wanna knows anything else about the anime just leave me a note. I just finished it last night so I should remember.

Since the anime itself is ecchi and the scenes in the amv's are ecchi, I removed them.
