Because the act was done for the sake of protection, Mei wasn’t upset, however, hearing that Yamato would kiss anyone wasn’t as easy to accept. Last week, some people assumed that Yamato’s confession was serious, but it was just a diversion to rid Mei of her stalker. I guess this means that Kenji can be considered to be a “friend” now? I’m glad Kenji’s confession went well because he might be able to give her what she deserves, but they probably have to face many hardships considering what a lewd dork he is. Being alone is not fun, so she wanted to be with anyone who would stand up for her. Considering how she so quickly became Kenji’s girlfriend, you might think she is shallow but I can understand her reasoning. I see her feelings for him as admiration rather than love. She who has been neglected by people around her because of their jealousy found comfort in Yamato who stood up for her and saved her from bullies.
While Asami did admit that she liked Yamato, it’s easy to see that her feelings for him aren’t strongly romantic. Mei who has very little social experience is an excellent match maker! Watching her protect Asami – a girl she hardly knows – surprised me and made me respect Mei more than I already do. It’s nice to know that there are people who are brave enough to do what’s right, but from Mei’s perspective, one would think she wouldn’t care. It baffles me how Mei who has been living a very isolated life because of negativities from society has the guts to stand up for a person she recently met. I don’t tolerate bullying at all so I was really moved when Mei stood up for her new friend. It’s natural to feel jealous, but there is no need to voice that envy in the form of condescension. It’s a shame people can’t be happy for others. Unfortunately, that’s what happened in Asami’s case. You might think having sex appeal is good, however, where there is luck, there is usually also jealousy. Asami may seem very cheerful, but deep down below that pretty face lays a lot of sadness. Today’s episode allowed us to have a proper introduction to Asami, Kenji, and Yamato’s mindset. This post could be filled with me praising Mei because she is a character I love very much, but let us not forget the other characters in this series.
I find her so admirable, and I respect her character very much. While Yamato does stand up for her and has helped her, she is capable of looking out for herself, and that’s what makes Mei an outstanding heroine to me. She’s not a stereotypical shoujo heroine who needs a white knight by her side. is just another love story, it’s one that grabs my heart like no other romance show has done before, and I believe Mei is the reason why I feel so much for this show. This show never ceases to amaze me with its poignancy.
