Happy New Year!!! Finally it's 2017 lol!!!
I'm as usual working half-ass-edly since it still feels like holiday lol. However, this morning, while working I'm rewatching Kimi ni Todoke and lol at this scene when Kurumi kokuhaku-ed Kazehaya. It's so very very very similar with the Heroine Shikkaku scene (where Hatori kokuhaku-ed Rita) --- look at the sentence! --- and I can't help but think HS is some sort of KnT's 'fanfiction' but it has alternate ending. KnT's film is released years earlier before HS tho.
Scene in Kimi ni Todoke
Scene in Heroine Shikkaku
The story itself: Both feature a popular guy who falls in love with an unpopular girl. Both have a beautiful rival that tries to steal the male protagonist´s heart, the difference is, while KnT is told by the perspective of the heroine, HS is told by the perspective of the rival. Also the protagonist of HS greatly resembles Kurumi from KnT in looks and personality (Akarioru, MyAnimeList). Funnier fact: Both Kurumi and Hatori's actress is Mirei Kiritani lololololol. Did they want to give Mirei's character justice lol
Kurumi needs her own Hiromitsu-kun since Kazehaya is a dolt, tho.
