Minami kun no Koibito: My Little Lover
Shunichi Minami (Taishi Nakagawa) possesses good looks and does well academically in high school. Chiyomi Horikiri (Maika Yamamoto) is a bright girl who likes dancing. They were childhood friends and also their first loves, but after Shunichi Minami’s father disappeared they hardly talk. On a storming night, Chiyomi Horikiri has an argument with her parents over her future course and leaves home. While trying to avoid the rain, Chiyomi Horikiri wishes that she go back to her childhood. Suddenly, Chiyomi becomes 15 cm. tall. Shunichi Minami happens to see tiny Chiyomi Horikiri. She tells him that she doesn't want anyone else to see her and Shunichi Minami takes her his home. (asianwiki-2015)
This was a cute drama, very old-feeling in spite of being just 5-6 years old. It may have been the setting? The romance was cute; started a bit meh but by episode 2 I was rooting for the leads. Chiyomi was the cutest one-inch princess ever! I wanted to keep her in my pocket too. As for Minami-kun, he starts as a tsundere but he is very kind and cares for Chiyomi.
Ep08 is where things went a bit downhill for me. First, the male rival for Minami, the male friend in love with Chiyomi. How creepy and weird is that he made a figurine out of Chiyomi?? And having it in his pocket?? What a weirdo. At least the female rival, Nomura, was bold and went straight for what she wanted. True, she may be TOO forward, but at least she wasn't a creep. I also didn't like that most girls were in love with Minami... even Chiyomi's sister??
Even though there were some unnecesary dramas, like Minami's father + Chiyomi's parents + Minami's accident, it was a cute drama.
**My rating: 7.5/10**
