Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
|
While watching Kusuriya no Hitorigoto I kept thinking about how similar the relationship dynamic between Maomao and Jinshi is almost identical to the one between Haruhi and Tamaki. If you ever thought of how a alternate story would be if Haruhi and Tamaki lived in Imperial China then Kusuriya no Hitorigoto is it.
Both include strong female leads with an individualistic (and oblivious) mindset who have goals they want to achieve, followed by a handsome male lead with childish (in a lovable way) tendencies.
Similar dynamics between the characters, with great supporting characters.
- Oblivious, strong, quiet FLs
- Handsome MLs have a childish and clingy personality, constantly fussing over the FL but has makes funny and memorable moments
- The attraction and interest the MLs show towards the FL seems one-sided most of the time
- MLs is of higher power status than the FLs
