Suzuka

[cell21]

OK. So I started watching Suzuka this week, and it's a very good romantic comedy. The comedy itself is a bit subtle compared to other series I've seen in this genre, but the romance seems quite complex.

It's clearly written to be more of a drama, and there are some things I like such as being able empathize for Yamato when he:

had a crush on Asahina and finally had the guts to confess so soon.]

However, much like other love triangles:

[ it saddens me to see how Yamato's indecisiveness is causing all sorts of problems for Asahina, as well as Honoka. In fact, I could almost say I'm becoming angry at him for being so "irresponsible," as everyone tends to call him.]

I'm not really sure how to feel now. Romance titles that get this complicated usually make me feel mushy inside, and I'm sure a lot of people would love to see things work out for the better.

Heck, the way things were at the beginning would probably be my dream scenario for meeting the love of my life, but for crying out loud, that Yamato is just making things worse.

Any comments or opinions from others that have seen this series

Suzuka is amazing. I was hooked after episode 1! I love the stories and also the love triangles, felt much sorrow for Honoka... But really this is a great drama/rom/com. I suggest everyone watches it!

ChibiYosho forced me to, errr, recommended this series to me when it was up to about episode sixteen, and since then I haven't been able to stop watching it. The characters are so very well-written and interesting, and are realistic to the point that you often have to put yourself into their perspective and decide how you'd deal with their romantic plight, especially Yamato. As soon as the series finishes, I'm going to have to catch up on the manga.
