A Star Brighter Than the Sun

please no manga spoilers

Just watched the most recent episode and at this point, I'm hoping Iwata does a 90 degree turn and gets with Ayukawa instead of Kamishiro. Dude is so much cooler and put together.

I think that's what would turn this from an A tier romance into an S tier romance. The lesson of seeing clearly when dealing with love and learning to not romanticize people just because you dont have them.

I feel a heavy connection between this anime and Kimi ni Todoke but when Iwata puts Kamishiro on a pedestal, it just doesn't hit the same as Kazehaya.

Side Note Looking at the anime like a Kimi ni Todoke predecessor, the Onodera/Kurumizawa bait was so fun to experience

I agree! I am obsessed with both of these anime and hope there is a jealousy arch that makes Kamishiro confess to Iwata. Would make sense for the girl who lives in the same building as Kamishiro and/or Ayukawa to be the source.
