If Kazehaya was less of a superstar at school, and had a few more flaws, I think the manga could really leave a more positive feeling in it's readers. It's one thing for a girl to think a guy is Mr. Perfect, it's another thing for him to actually BE Mr. Perfect and have everyone acknowledge that fact! haha
I get where you're coming from, and I think this one comes down to tastes again Him being a genuinely nice guy is one of the things that makes the series so appealing to me. Shoujo leads are often popular, but I never get why because they tend to be jerks. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple more flaws myself, but I'm sure that'll be expanded on in his character arc Shoujo rule #7 dictates he'll get one

You've not missed anything as it's a very faithful adaptation. Except scenery porn. And a lovely background music. And- ok, so some things, but nothing story related

@Haohmaru it airs Tuesday night at 1 am, so... 8 more hours?
