My Review: 7/10
Ugh.
I usually pride myself in the fact that I have an open mind and I can usually understand why directors/writers make the choices they do when dealing with characters, plot, and storyline.
I must have been really close-minded when watching this drama. It started off great. I normally enjoy Oda Yuji, and after I got over the initial shock of watching a drama older than Ifm used to, I started to enjoy the performances by the other artistes – especially that of Suzuki Honami. Shefs managed to portray one of the most memorable characters Ifve come across in my drama-watching career. She instantly drew me in and her characterfs relationship with Odafs really sparked my interest. This drama had a great balance between romance, comedy, and angst. I like how it dealt with mature feelings and circumstances. Up until perhaps the eighth episode everything was going smoothly, until I slowly began to realize that Oda was slowly turning into a jerk and that the emotional rise given by the story was false and cruel. The way the drama ended completely shattered my perfect ending.
To be fair, it wasnft necessarily a horrendous ending. But it wasnft the ending that I wanted and for some reason I canft get over this. Tokyo Love Story is a great drama until the end,
O, and Arimori Narimi was a great peeve of mine. As was Eguchifs hair. But Arimori moreso. There.

which completely ruins it for all Akana-fans. Bah.O, and Arimori Narimi was a great peeve of mine. As was Eguchifs hair. But Arimori moreso. There.
