Not only does it provide the rarity of a genuinely strong lead female character that is neither a Yamato Nadeshiko nor lacking genuine feminine identity, but it's consistently funny and sweet. Interestingly--at least for any one with experience in theater--is that it's frequently blocked like a stage production despite being a multi-camera recording, which I find very interesting to watch.

Nice! I agree, Itou Misaki's role was terribly plain in Densha Otoko. Thanks for the info!
