[...] And in the department of pathos, they fail hard, especially the latter. Yes I know, I wrote a worship-post dedicated to Haruka-chan before, also how she touched the otaku in me, but that’s mostly me filling the emotional gaps [...]

I like this anime series, although my other friends were telling me that the OP is fail XD, just love the storyline and all!

@OnyxxSyaoran: deep in our heart we’re all searching for that special someone who’ll accept us for who we are, and that’s what I meant about Yuuto. Don’t be shy, and just admit it~ *nudge nudge*

@mellow_bunny: well there’s the game, if anything And don’t force yourself to read all the praises I gave… it’s totally biased and not something you’d really be happy with >.<

@Setsukyie: almost all the characters of Nogizaka Haruka are loveable in their own unique way. Shiina, despite being Haruka’s formidable rival, is a really sweet girl. I appreciate how she doesn’t take advantage of Yuuto’s kindness, shows her good heart, and makes room for more Haruka x Yuuto

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is the only anime that can make me say “Aww..that’s so sweet” every time.
Yea, it’s cliche, but that’s a good thing.
I believe that the charm doesn’t lie in Haruka alone, but in every single thing in this anime.

And Haruka is LOVE.^_^

someone needs to make some damn good Shiina doujin. It’s a real shame to see her wasted so

Also.. I now have to go back to the part where you said you were going to delve into a character profile thing of Haruka.. I tuned out after you stopped talking about Shiina.. *sigh* /scroll up.

@fuyumaiden: as Stripey has also said, Haruka’s charm is subtle. Much about everything that makes her moe is portrayed to be subtle, and that natural feel makes it all the more charming, compared to over-the-top moeblobs especially.

@EvilDevil: I was pleasantly surprised that she even knew karate! That was PURE WIN.

@IKnight: Haruka serves as a good role model for otakus because of that very aspect. She was portrayed to have a few weaknesses here and there, but it just makes her all the more moe.

@Wija-chan: if Yuuto wasn’t naughty, he’d be real stiff and boring and that wouldn’t be as much fun to watch anymore. I love it when he and Haruka gets all flustered

@Michael: but you’d have to admit, Shiina is putting up quite a good fight, at the very least

@C.I.: I’m usually drawn to the Shiina-type of girls (like Asuka of KimiKiss), but Haruka has captured my soul in ways unimaginable, and for that I declare her as THE ONE

@Ryan: what a story! hehe. We always need to strike a balance on things, and Nogizaka Haruka does wonders by reaching that inner sweet self in just about everyone.

@CCY: I mentioned more of my thoughts about Haruka’s charm in my reply to fuyumaiden, and all that contributes to the overall sweetness of Haruka’s character (just enough sweetness with a spice to boot).

I think I made Yuuto seem like a coward and somewhat spineless guy with what I mentioned about Haruka always making the first move. And as you’ve said, it’s kind of like a give and take kind of love aggressiveness we have here. Yuuto is a true gentleman and is not at all shy in proclaiming his love and support for Haruka. Sadly, Yuuto is also _too_ kind. He may not be trying to please all the girls in the series, but he does that… naturally. I agree that he is quite a role model, just be careful of being too kind I guess

The over-the-top drama in this series just make it more awesome and hearwarming… love it ^^
