Kageno datte Seishun Shitai

This was really... unsatisfying. Overall a pretty typical shoujo romance between a bishonen and a complete outsider, much like many other stories in that way (like Kimi ni Todoke for example). However, what makes this story so much worse than most others for me was the fact that the female lead basically did not change, at all. In her core, she is a likeable character, deeply caring about others and accepting basically any risk to help them. But at the same time, she has a self-esteem of absolute zero, to the point of that she constantly doubts her relationship and thus also the feelings herboyfriend has for her, and it just annoys the hell out of me. She misunderstands something, runs away, and our MrPerfect comes running after her. Repeat this 10 times and you got an overall idea what the plot feels like at times.
