The plot devices the anime introduce to kickstart an event are quickly forgotten. The main love triangle feels very artificial and is only there to make some progress, and the secondary love triangle isn't explored at all. There is just nothing driving the romance forward and it uses cheap gimmicks in an attempt to move it further but it is really an uninteresting story once you get familiar with the characters. It is your average shoujo romance with a double unrelated love triangle introduced later on. The premise screams vanilla and generic all over the place, and it is just as it looks. Shocked to find his personality completely changed, she starts testing her feelings for him, all in attempt to find out what happened to his old self. She stumbles across her middle school crush, Kou Tanaka, who has changed his name to Kou Mabuchi. It has 'generic' and Kimi ni Todoke written all over it just from looking at the cover, and going deeper, it further proves this statement.įutaba Yoshioka is your average 1st year in high school, who wishes to change herself and find new friends. It follows a story of a curious high-schooler girl wishing to find out what happened to her crush from three years ago and why did he change.

But still, her world is soon turned upside down when the only boy she ever liked unexpectedly comes into her life once again-except he goes by the name of Kou Mabuchi now, and it is not his name alone that has gone through a sea change. Determined to become a class favorite this time, she avoids all unwanted attention and, instead of acting cute and feminine, only stands out through her tomboyish behavior and disheveled look. Now in high school, Futaba is not your typical adolescent girl. She even succeeded at making plans to meet with the quiet and innocent boy at the summer festival, but a simple misunderstanding, and Tanaka's subsequent disappearance, left her walking the halls of her school friendless. Nevertheless, she was able to brush all that off, because the only opinion that truly mattered to her was that of Kou Tanaka, a classmate with whom she shared a shelter from rain once, followed by quite a few other precious and significant memories. Futaba Yoshioka used to be an attractive and popular middle-schooler-well liked by the opposite sex, but ostracized by the girls.
