I’ve heard quite a few arguments why this show is popular, but those all seemed to come from the ones who didn’t like it. I’m interested to see the other sides of the story, though. Not in the forced way that Kimi ni Todoke has been doing for the past twelve episodes… On top of that, we also have shoujo-series as Glass Mask, DNAngel and Full Moon wo Sagashite in which the romances work because of their realism and the way they let their relationships progress naturally. – Ashita no Nadja: we actually see the lead female hanging out with other guys without it suddenly creating a huge drama.
– Kodomo no Omocha: worked because we actually see both the lead male and female go through other relationships with other people, while it’s actually the distance between them, created by the lead female’s job as an idol that prevents them from hooking up, rather than the ditzy love rivals being the sole reason. – Bokura ga Ita: mainly worked because the love rival got fed up with the indecisiveness of the lead male, which was a huge theme of the series. Let me list a bunch of shoujo-series that actually did get the love triangle right (Minor spoilers included): Agh, it’s like Itazura na Kiss all over, but without the funny parts. It was basically just Kurumi trying to get a love triangle started, which is probably going to be worthless in the next episode when everyone realizes that it was just a misunderstanding. This episode was… tedious to sit through.
