Lol...if it comes to 'True Tears' you are unstopable.
Well, I know they should've added some more scenes for Hiromi. I mean I understand why he's saying in the review they hardly clicked toghether...not as if it were true, but because half of Hiromi's developments from the flashbacks. And I agree that the writer of the review actually can't relate with the other characters.
Hell, seeing Shinchiro as an idiot is extremely harsh...he's oblivious at romance and women, but certainly sensitive and caring person. And he's reserved and modest too. Almost as good as Kaoru from Ai Yori Aoshi as a lead protagonist.
And True Tears was a good show even if it had few obvious or cliche-like drama.
