Nobuta wo Produce

The most recent object of dorama bingeing was Nobuta wo Produce, starring Yamashita Tomohisa, Kamenashi Kazua and Horikita Maki. I had already seen the first two episodes before this, so there were only 8 episodes to watch.

I loved Nobuta too :) And yeah, I agree with you that the ending was bittersweet. But I think their frienship still remains strong despite the distance.

You see, what I like so much about Akira is that his unrequitted love for Nobuko didn't get in the way of their friendship. And he genuinely cared for Shuuji too, to the point where he also moved schools in order accompany Shuuji.

Yes, and that's why I said this series was more about friendship and growing up than about romantic love. Akira's crush on Nobuko was very realistic considering their age in the series (17, I think), but he didn't let it get in the way of their friendship after his brief moment of jealousy in episode 7. The friendship between the three of them was stronger than any obstacles that were thrown in their way.
