I'm pretty sure that my comment is really spoilerish, this based on what we have current scene, and my comment about natsuru is in sense the entire premise of the show.

It's more his dense nature much like natsuru who drives me nuts. It's ok to be a romanctic and love the notion of love at first sight, but to be so clueless to the other peoples interactions with you just seem pretty far fetched and pretty much make him out to be a dense idiot. Not only is he dense, but in terms of enlightment view his good deeds, he might as well revert back to a bug in his next life...
Think of it this way. Male leads seldom make sense and the reason as to why they like whomever they choose to like is usually skipped because to the Japanese its already implied. Natasuru made the comment "you dont need a reason to love someone" I honestly dont think Junpei loves her its just an extreme crush. The more you think about it the more its going to frustrate you. The Japanese approach to these things are different than in the west just take it with a grain of salt.

DragoonKain3 Ill definitely check it out when your done. I too like when the childhood friend wins for obvious reasons one being actually development over the years. Its just that from my own viewing iv notice less of it since the 80's maybe its the series that im watching or im not researching enough. But i am not trying to start an argument or anything. Harems are tricky as not everyone considers them part of the romance genre's.

Eh, I'm use to the eastern way of courtship, it's still frustrating especially when their using the idea of buddhism and he just constantly doesn't learn from these lessons.

Theres a fine line between persistence and desperation like i said i think the guy just doesnt know what to do. The only thing i can tell you man is that take all of this with a grain of salt just try to block it out and focus on something else because its going ruin the series for you.

Junpei isn't dense. He knows exactly that the who loves him and who isn't. The only exception is Kanako and he has quite a reason for it. Afterall they fought all the time since middle school and so Junpei also pretty pissed of at her. At least he somehow still being nice to her despite her abuses. And also Kanako tries her best to hide her feelings from Junpei. It's easy to determine things from the position of the observer, but Junpei is the one who gets abused and being interrupted by her every time he has a good moment with Kaede. Junpei in short is usually too annoyed by her to think. His image of Kanako is that she hates him and only tags along to annoy him. He's still nice and leaves her, but still Kanako built up a rather negative image...if she keeps chikcening and not confessing then this image remains forever.

In certain aspects Junpei is dense just like a typical male lead. However it is as simple as you have made it out to be. You say Junpei was pissed at Kana when in fact at the beginning of the series she is pissed at him. Do you remember why?

The situation has now rectified itself because Junpei spoke up and their relationship has started to improve somewhat.

Kana is acting her age and actually like an anime standard. She is trying to get Junpei to notice her in another light it just so happens she is interrupting Junpei's time with Kaeda for that very reason. Also, she is being considerate in her own way.

Mention of stalking meant one thing came to mind in this scene:-

I couldn't resist it.

Kanako is a pain in the ass, she abuses poor junpei to hell and back over her little jealousy moments that junpeixkaede share together. Kanako is lucky that junpei is such a nice guy and hasn't lash out at her for all her annoyance.

l would long ago taken kanako aside and asked wtf is up with her attitude if she were my friend. lf kanako was really considerate she should accept junpei likes kaede and not her and move on.

That's weird, that is exactly how I feel about Taiga and Naru and Haruhi and I could go on forever.

It's slapstick. Deal with it.

i wouldnt say she's a pain in the ass, she's kind of 'competing' but they've always been abusing each other, which is probably why junpei doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary

if she were a random stranger doing random shit to me i'd pull her aside too, but since they already have a history, it won't happen

i agree about Taiga (Ami ftw..) but the thing about Naru is that the main character actually likes her. Junpei doesn't like Kana.

Yes you would have but Junpei is not seeing anything out of the ordinary which is why unless she says something he will never realize how she feels, which is why he was creeped out that she came over to take care of him while he was sick. Im willing to bet this is the first time she has felt like this about a guy. She is being jealous teenage girl. This is not out of the ordinary for a girl to pick on the one the she wants and vice verse. If she was doing to be spiteful and just to be mean i would think differently about her but thats not case. The girl honestly doesnt know how to act. She said so herself this would be a lot easier if i didn't realize i loved him. She is competing for his affection the only way she knows how which is too act this way. Its also a cover for her feelings the girls not good with her emotions. Poor Junpei needs to speak up if he has a problem with how she acts. A persons behavior will not change if they think they are not doing anything wrong. I personally think Junpei on some level likes the attention. Thats just how i feel till i see her being mean just for the sake of being mean i wont think badly of her.

You still didn't answer my question...how is she being considerate in your eyes?

Well, she acknowledges Kaede's feelings and she really could be more aggressive too. I guess her "tsun" gets in the way of her "dere".

ah sorry i misread. She could be a lot more troublesome than she is now. Granted she does interrupt their moments together but she could make the situation even more uncomfortable by telling Kaede she likes Junpei. Given how sweet and considerate Kaede is she would give up on him for the sake of her friend. Granted this is kind mute now since Kaede already figured it out and you could see her reaction to it. She could knows their feelings she could be a lot more aggressive.

That's not being considerate. Hell she knows that Junpei loves/likes Kaede and that Kaede herself also likes Junpei...yet again and again she intervenes when kaedexjunpei share a moment. She isn't considerate at all.

She can become more aggressive it's not like that's going to make junpei start liking her more over kaede.

It would be pretty boring if all of the girls decided to back down so they don't hurt each other. But if that were to happen, it be a twin ending, and I'm okay with that! haha.

Okay, maybe not considerate, but...ummm...I know! She intervenes because she is uncomforable with another girl being so close like that. So, she isn't that considerate really. I guess the best way of saying it is that she holds back because of Kaede?

And likewise. Kaede held back since long or at least she believed Kanako and Junpei is going out. And now she still feels guily because she knows Kanako likes Junpei. Kaede is the kind of girl who doesn't want to hurt anyone or anything.
