They made me think about the only J-drama series I watched over the summer (although if I had the time I would have watched Mr. Brain) --- Yamato Nadeshiko (lit. Japan Perfect Woman). If you've never watched...

It feels every bit the generic junior/high school hijinks romance comedy with some dramatic elements. What sets it apart for me is the gorgeous character designs by J. C. Staff, that to me, is superior to their work on Toradora! Why is this a critical...

Nevertheless, here is one such series: Kodomo no Omocha is without a doubt and by far the best shoujo romantic comedy I have ever seen. And in fact,...

Hell, Atsuko probably had the most screen time behind Kana, which is sort of sad in a way because she only had about 5 lines. Unfortunately, aside from the first part, most of the rest wasn’t terribly amusing....
