[...] Didn’t notice the chamomiles? Couldn’t figure out what’s so soothing about the series either? Perhaps you’re looking too near, or too far. You might want to take a step back, stop letting logic get in the way and just enjoy the ride. Nitpick on it if you must, but more than anything else, enjoy it for what it is. I’m sure it’s not just you, Kiriska [...]

@usajigen: Haven’t seen Itazura na Kiss, but it seems like it’d also fall into the heap of shoujo I wouldn’t really care for. As for Sawako, I just wish the reason for her stupid decisions was something more realistic rather than a supreme ignorance that I can’t imagine anyone having.

@Toonleap: Agreed! Idealism usually goes hand-in-hand with the unrealistic — Kimi ni Todoke’s depiction of people is too extreme one way or another; characters so far seem either wholly good or wholly bad (spiteful, jealous). I’m actually not a huge fan of Sawako’s various faces either, her mouth that looks like <> especially annoys me for some reason. ;\

The rest of the cast is perfectly idealistic.

I wonder if you also mean…unrealistic…. :) … You barely find this kind of personalities around this days.

I am watching because I cant stop watching Sawako’s multiple funny faces…the drama is a little bit unbearable for Me, but the rest is fine.

:( If anything, this reminded me of my BURNING HATE for Itazura na Kiss (at least Kotoko) before. Can’t deny Sawako’s stupidity, and the easy breezy solution to all her problems, but in the end… that’s who she is.

After having realized that I’m prone to making really stupid decisions myself, I feel like I don’t have the right to accuse Sawako of it.
