Quality resurfaces at the very end to say that, hey, maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. The story nosedives with Banri’s amnesia ghost, leads to some of the most contrived nonsense melodrama of the 21st century. Wondering as to what this source of stupidity could possibly be, my guess is that the story was looking an awful lot too similar to Toradora, so the supernatural had to be thrown in because I suppose making something originally terrible is better than making something unoriginally good. I don’t, says the manifestation of Tada Banri’s amnesia. Generally the show is enjoyable up until that point.
She falls in love with Tada Banri early on. Some other flimsily constructed pretences sort of justify how she is. The justification in this case is that Kaga Koko is head over heels for this guy who later dyes his hair blonde and so she has no time for anything else. To balance out this unnatural combination an equally unnatural explanation She’s beautiful, fashionable, attractive, rich, sociable, and yet at the same time has no close friends. He meets Kaga Koko and she’s a representation of a sort of ideal woman that forms inside the minds of the deluded.
You’ll like him because there’s no reason to dislike him, but you’ll dislike him eventually because the story involves him in some altogether stupid arrangements. Don’t like him because his character design is poor.
