I still like it even if it’s the girl who’s running around and forcing herself on the guy because it shows that, in love (romantic or not, regardless of your gender), sometimes, for you to gain hold of it, you have to learn to humble yourself. Okay we’re done with the fact that I can totally relate with this because my life seems to be a montage of unreturned love affairs.
And so when my friend asked why I do because it’s not really the anime I usually would look for, I started to think about it.īasic premise: the love is unrequited. And all the time, I feel hurt, I feel happy…my feelings are always all over the place because I still like it from the bottom of my heart. Regardless of the list above, I still find myself re-watching the anime whenever I have the time. The girl is stupid in all sense possible. I don’t go by talent or what they call stock knowledge so I hate it when people score better than I do when I worked my ass up until morning.įive. He’s capable, he’s handsome and he’s a freaking genius who will ace his exams despite going to bed early. I shouldn’t have liked this anime because the guy is just so perfect for human standards. And it doesn’t even help that the guy will just let the girl feel this way.įour. Since they don’t stand on equal footing, the girl always feels that she has to do something to be a worthy person for the guy she likes. This love story is filled with constant fear and insecurities. And what was her dream? No, not actually to be a capable nurse but to be someone who can measure up with her husband (yes, the guy married the stupid girl in course of the series). She even decided her future career based on the male character’s. Since she’s just so stupid, she blindly follows her heart with nothing but guts to back her up. The girl is constantly dictated by her emotions. I shouldn’t have liked this anime because unlike my ‘money makes the world go round’ principle, this one is ran by love (it’s a shoujo manga dammit). This is probably the reason why I’m still single up until now. And besides, I’m really not the kind to say ‘Hey, I like you so much, isn’t there a chance for you to like me back?’ I’m more of the ‘I’ll make you regret that you didn’t like me’ type. I don’t like trying when the situation already seems hopeless.
This doesn’t fit me because I’m really not the type to force myself on people.
The girl has to run around and make the guy like her. The story will revolve around Kotoko’s (the girl’s) determination and how, in the end, she will be able to convince the oh-so-perfect guy who won’t admit to himself that he likes stupid girls that he, after all, likes stupid girls. Simply put, it’s just about a girl liking a guy. If you would think about it, this anime is kind of cliche. Apart from the fact that I’m one heck of a sucker for unrequited love stories (and besides the fact that Naoki is just my type of guy), there’s a reason why this anime has been always close to my heart.
