I love these series so much!! I love the romance but more than anything i think the psychological aspect is so interesting??! I think its a story mostly about a painful part of growing up (or more like, a painful part of life itself) which is suddenly getting confused about who you are after losing something you conside valuable about yourself. You need so much strenght to build yourself back up again after that!Since Naho is a teen who suddenly got aware that other peoples opinion/views may differ from his own, this shift in reality is even more brutal. On top of that loss and confusion he ALSO has to deal with, for the first time, feeling ugly and unwanted. AND on top of that he got his heart broken... from his childhood best friend and first love no less.Naho is so strong. And so cute... Hes so perseverant and despite all of his suffering he still retains great part of his more "innocent" worldview while still growing and changing T T (lovely)
